The vintage sewing machine table, that is.

Cool! I even spot some Ikea in there.

I love them all too, especially the vintage suitcases and ironing board!

Yes, you can! I painted the wood trim and laminate on my cabinets, and they look brand new!

Gorgeous home. Especially love the architecture and all the quilts/throws.

Let's see a full tour!

That tile...Wow!

I've lived in 15 different places, and I'm 39. I bought my first home 10 years ago and still live here. So, I guess I was at 14 when I was 29. Since I've owned my home, I rarely think of moving again. I love it just as much, if not more, than I did when I first bought it.

I had to laugh when she described Irvine as a "big city." I grew up in Irvine and have been back for the past ten years, after many years living in real big cities like Boston, Manhattan, DC, and LA. I initially feared the move back to Irvine because of what's been called "soullessness" in other comments, but I have grown to love it because it is quieter and slower than the other places I've lived, and because it feels like home. It's also so centrally located that you can be anywhere in SoCal in no time at all, if you're bored of staring at the beige. As a single woman, I value the safety of it, too. And, as an animal lover, I have to say kudos to the Irvine Animal Care Center...I think much of the perception of Irvine is exaggerated and comes from those who have never really spent much quality time here but, instead, criticize from afar.

Fun! Constance (picture 5) is especially charming.
