I was in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood a few days ago, and stopped by one of my favorite shops: Park Life, a cool and highly unconventional gallery and shop. It opened in 2006, the…

who makes that couch?
What a lovely home. It was a pleasure to be a part of this project! My favorite is the neon sign at the top of the stairs. Cheers!
I renovated and live in SF and I have no idea how they got a sign off with stair railings. Especially with kids.
Taylor - I want to know too - it is quite luscious with the fabric and colors. I read this as I sit in Michigan on a frigid but sunny day. This is a beautiful home that is filled with windows and subtle yet interesting design elements. Thanks!
Are the kitchen cabinets walnut? It's a nice looking wood whatever it is.
Fabulous kitchen, love how it fits seamlessly with the rest of the house without screaming "kitchen." The the FSC certified Henrybuilt cabinets are gorgeous!
I love the dark blue bed frame in the master bedroom. It's lovely, unique, and slightly reminiscent of a booth cushion from some sweet old diner. Anyone know who made this?
Fantastic!!
Who makes the chair in Deborah's office? A beautiful environment and a well written article. Thanks.
I didn't realize all comments show up on every page. To clarify...does anyone know who makes the blue velvet couch on page 9 of the photo gallery? :)
Thanks for recommending the Big Green Egg, that sounds rad. Few flavors beat the taste of food grilled over a wood flame. (and grilling always means less mess and fewer dishes!) And did you decide not to replace the dishwasher? That always seems like the ugliest appliance in the kitchen, not to mention using power and water.
Hi everyone. Thanks for all the interest in the story. The couch and headboard were custom designed by the architects, Charles de Lisle Workshop. The fabric on the couch is mohair, from Maharam.
Hi, thanks for all the lovely comments. A few clarifications: The playroom couch and bedroom headboard were designed by Charles de Lisle; the couch fabric is a mohair from Maharam and the blue leather for the headboard is from Moore and Giles (in Mountain Spring). The office chair is just a garden variety Aeron from Herman Miller. Kitchen cabinets are walnut. There is a Bosch dishwasher next to the sink; it blends in fairly seamlessly. We fill it to the brim before running it for maximum efficiency and it's blissfully quiet, I must say. Regarding the questionable stair railings and their suitability for children: these did meet the code at the time the house was built. However, until last year (when the duo turned seven) all of the railings were lined with sheets of plexi (affixed with zip ties) in order to prevent the insertion of tiny heads betwixt the wires, so please, don't call CPS! We also put plexi below the risers because I had horrible nocturnal visions of a child slipping through to the foyer below.
I Adore your home! What is the back-splash in your kitchen and who makes it?
Can you tell me the brand and shade of blue on the wall in slide 8? Thanks! It all looks great!
I really like this house and enjoyed reading about it. Great article.
Hi Kari, to learn more about the backsplash have a look here: http://www.emeryetcie.com/en/what/ And to Heather, the blue on the living room wall is a custom-mixed Venetian plaster, which was created and applied by Chris Stefano: csvartisanwall.com Deborah
I love the sconces hanging beside your bed. What brand are they? You have a beautiful home. looks like it is fun to live in!
I loved the house - the simplicity and elegance and warmth. Would be very, very grateful if you could tell me where the bedding for Sasha's bed came from? For whatever reason, I have been haunted by "La" and "Nuit" from this picture.... Many thanks -
Hi Karla and Aida, the sconces were designed by my designer, Charles de Lisle, clearly with a bit of a Jean Prouvé influence. The bird bedding in Sasha's room is by Dwell bedding (no relation to the magazine), but the 26" cases to which you refer -- the ones that spell out La Nuit -- I've actually had for about twenty years! I cannot recall where they came from, or if they are even available anymore, sigh. Deborah
What a beautiful home! I love the bird bedding in Sasha's room. I just bought the shams for my daughter's room. What is the brand and color of the lavender/purple paint in Sasha's room? Thanks!
Bobbi, I can get you that paint color; I just noticed your comment. I'll post it in a day or two. Deborah
Hello Bobbi, That color in Sasha's room is Benjamin Moore, Enchanted (#2070-50) Matte finish. Cheers, Deborah
Hi Deborah, Your home is very lovely. I too saw the gorgeous Moroccan tiles in WOI a few years ago and wanted to use them but was never able to find a California or US distributor. Would you mind sharing your supplier? Thanks very much.
I find myself keep wandering back to this slideshow. Your house is beautiful and so family friendly!
Hello, I was wondering where your art work is from that you have in the dining area? I saw a picture of your Dining room in the D.W.R catalog from a few years back and I love the art of the ladies that you have hanging. .
Can you tell me where I can find prints of these lovely woman for my apartment. Thank you so much!
Great Design! I love the open loft feel with the railing, and the large window that flood light into the space. Cable railing isn't the best choice because of the maintenance it requires (they get loose), but over all Great job!
Hello Dave. I can't believe you recognize the dining room from dwr; well spotted! The paintings are from all over, flea markets (from the pre-eBay era), junk and antique stores, a few from eBay, and a couple gifts from people who know of the mania. Really, there are a lot of old portraits about once you start looking, but road trips away from urban centers are especially good because the pieces are not deemed to be as "precious" and can come very cheap. They are often in ratty condition, which is, I suppose, part of the charm of good "bad" art. Deborah
I am after similar 'floating' shelves like you have to the right of your beautiful kitchen, any chance you could let me know where you ordered those? Thank you!
No word if any furniture manufacturers will start using Velikov’s new design or not, but if they do, we’re pretty sure they’ll blend perfectly with any modern environment you put it in.
I was wondering what color you chose for the bit of green that was painted on the wall?
Very nice home. What kind of stone is used for Kitchen counter? That is contrasting very well with the dark wood and complimenting well with the wall / celling as well.
hi what is the color of paint on the wall that the picture of the painted lady is on...it looks like a white/green color? thanks!
hi I meant to add the painted wall is page 2 thanks
Hello- i love your house and was hoping you could tell me what the kitchen countertop is...thanks!
Michelle, thanks for your question! The countertop material is Calcutta marble, which the owners describe in the eighth paragraph down: "The warm brown veining in the Calcutta marble is more compatible with the wood than cooler Carrara, and freckles of mineral deposits set the stage for the mottling to come."
