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?

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
