I want to be your cute girlfriend..but alas, I live in Frisco.

Beautiful house, and I loved your comment about spontaneous gatherings. People just don't "stop by" here the way they do elsewhere.

I love that under the headline "Biggest Indulgence" she states, "I have a few..." .

Irony aside, very beautiful if not meant for this audience.

Lighten up folks, its a home decorating site.

I love this place and love that it looks like real people live here. Beautiful art, beautifully placed. Homey, artsy, bright and warm.

Wonderfully minimalist yet inviting. The art really pops. I love the way you've incorporated family "finds".

This looks like its close to downtown and the baseball stadium...I'm guessing most of these micro apartments will be rented to corporations for short term employee and executives to stay, or people who work in downtown SF but have homes elsewhere.

As for Portlandrules' bigoted comments, millions of people move to California every year for economic opportunities, better quality of life, etc. To say that Californians shouldn't be allowed to move to the sates mentioned for the same reason is ridiculous.

Beautiful!

Ikea used to have a (very) inexpensive version of your dining room silver "bubble" wall art...I have oft cursed the day I didn't buy one!!!

I think registries and wedding gifts are tacky, period. Most couples I know get married after they have been living together, or at least away from home, for a very long time, and they have plenty of STUFF. If you don't know the couple well enough to know what they may want or need, why get them a gift at all? I love the no gift trend, especially for couples who have lived together. Wedding gifts were originally meant for couples just starting out in adult life, now people just register for stuff they want. TACKY!

I live in San Francisco about three blocks from the accompaning photo. I say you get what you pay for. You make compromises to live here, such as renting instead of owning but I wouldn't live anywhere else.

HRHPRINCESSFIONA: Its true, part of San Francisco was distroyed in 1906 in the earthquake and fire. One of the great things about the Mission district is the intact Victorian architecture, and yes, lots of Queen Anne. Not sure if this is an historically acurate term, but it is widely used in SF

Love love love this apartment. Beautiful throughout. I'd love to run into Christophe at Tartine!

Love it when the outside of the house is shown...but would have liked to see a better shot of the exterior.

Very beautiful home! I like the taupe-y color scheme...you've done a great job of bringing in colors elsewhere.

I'm guessing KCKO has not been to Texas in the summer if s/he thinks that awning is going to make the pool water chilly.

Great home, and beautiful pool!

OMG, can't believe that is your fridge! I couldn't figure that picture out as I thought that was a screen. It looks amazing now that I know its a fridge...but after seeing the link did you really cut out and perfectly place every piece of contact paper
!?!

Rest of the house is pretty awesome, too, and I love your sense of humor throughout.
