Hidden Treasures
"The pieces told us what they wanted to do on the wall," Cadena says. The menagerie of bones, including pieces from boar, turtles, and even a whale's vertebrae, are deliberately off-white, so it doesn't come across as too pure. The tables and chairs are separated from the walls, so diners aren't too distracted by the details of the elaborate, hand-made murals, which include silverware, serving utensils, and pieces from books.
Out one of the large windows is a view of the old power station building and tower.

Container Store: Since the first floor is mostly transparent to the outdoors, built-in storage for hiding detritus is crucial. In Blake’s playroom, just off the entryway, floor-to-ceiling drawers with simple Sugatsune pulls are labeled with every kind of bric-a-brac, from Legos and Playmobil to action figures and stuffed animals.
