Beth! So, so beautiful. I love your bold use of color - I never seem to be able to quite pull that off.

And that outside space is to die for. Everything feels just right!!

Leslie M:
- In the kitchen, the Health tile is Canvas Sage; in the bathroom, it's Dark Grey Blue Whale ... or something like that. That remodel was about 5 years ago, and memory fades.

Sherinola & Evetr:
- On the bedrooms: My grandmother would agree with you on the IKEA furniture! But one room at a time, my friends, one room at a time. We'll get to that project some day. Maybe we should start a movement called "Slow Renovating." :)

Hopnick:
- The dimensions of our island are 42 x 64", and the distance from the island to the counter is 37". On the long side of the room, the cabinets to the wall is 104". Hope this helps.

Shauna:
- The steel planter in our garden was designed (along with the rest of the garden) by the amazing Ron Lutsko (http://www.lutskoassociates.com/). Probably not a route I would take in a rental.

Thanks again to everyone for such nice comments!

Suzee - Yes, you are right to think twice about the fir floors. Since it's such soft wood, they do scratch quite easily ... Possum has definitely made her mark! And, of course, the unevenness in an old house does open a can of worms. BUT, since we love the look of the old wood, we decided to let the floor do it's thing and not worry about it. We kind of like the old stains and imperfections. Clean up isn't a problem, just the scratching.

We have mad love for our orange creamsicle pup.

Thanks for all the nice feedback! The kitchen window has been a puzzle for all 8 years we've been in the house. Yep - that's our neighbor's wall about 18 inches away. We've had a shade there for years, but it just felt dark, and closed in. When I saw these plant containers - Woolly Pockets (woollypocket.com), I thought that might be a good solution! They were SUPER easy - just two small screws (thanks to my nice neighbor for agreeing to this) hold each planter. Flora Grubb carries them in SF. Cheers, Julie
