Capital Gains: Sacramento Remodel
Sacramento architectural designer Curtis Popp bought and renovated, in three months, a five-bedroom, three-bath, 2,900-square-foot house that had, over the years, succumbed to a growing architectural incongruity. He stripped away the ill effects of the aging additions (shag carpet in the bathroom, aluminum windows, floral wallpaper) and helped the 1943 home—which he shares with his wife, Susan, and their daughter Olivia, 9, and son Fletcher, 7—“return to its glory.” Popp lacquered the main floor, a partially underground space that includes the family/media room, dining area and kitchen, in white, laid down stained white-oak flooring throughout the rest of the tri-level house, and updated the top-floor master suite. To keep the budget within reason, Popp chose discounted display appliances and “seconds” tile, and supplemented his own modern furniture collection with affordable new pieces.

.@HysteriaMovie, a #film about the invention and #design of the vibrator is predictable, punchless, and offers woefully little satisfaction.
What is the company's name who makes that bathroom door?
Any idea which neighborhood this home is located in?
The bathroom door was existing, so I'm not sure, but have a look here for something similar: http://www.crestviewdoors.com/ The house is located in Land Park.
Any idea who makes the light fixture shown in the hallway above the old telephone box?
that is so sweet how they preserved the plank with the teenage girl's note. i bet many of us have scrawled a similar "i was here" message under wallpaper, behind fixtures. homes carry such sentimental history...
