PEARMELON – Thank you for the kind words:) The theater wall treatment is not original. It is something we are spreading throughout the house.

Dynamite art collection! I really can tell the negative space around your objects is just as important as the objects themselves. Really, really awesome.

COOKSMARTS – Thanks! Yes. There was a full wall when we bought it. It was the first demo project:)

LWENSKI – A couple friends and I feathered in all the oak in the kitchen area. In front of the fireplace was oak, the kitchen was tile. The sanding and staining we had done because 1300 of the 1700 sq. ft. is the same oak floor. We had to move 3 bedrooms and EVERYTHING in the kitchen/dining/living room into one room. The stain is a custom color build. If you would like a fax or PDF or the color build, just email me through my photography website. All the best! Jonathan

INNEEDOFMAKEOVER – We very much appreciate your response. Thank you so much. We know comments like this, probably wouldn't come from a Buddhist. We are definitely focusing on the positive:) We have been responding because we want people to know what they commenting on so that they don't make the same choices in the future. Have a wonderful night!

CLAIRENY – Thanks for your positive comment. Much appreciated. This is not a Buddha, it's a temple protector. It's in our house to keep bad spirits out, and possibly 'bad spirits'. Peace and have a pleasant weekend.

WOW. Thanks everyone for your positive comments and constructive criticism. Putting this out there has been a interesting experience. For us, designing and curating a home is about trying things out. It's usually the only physical, "living" piece of artwork we have and therefore always evolves.

Giant typography and artificial taxidermy – We happen to agree with most of what was said. We question many aspects of what we are doing to our home. We still appreciate the use of typography – played out or not. We used to have actual animal taxidermy. We've made choices about our diet and it's just a little reminder of something we used to take for granted.

AA Book – For a casual observer, we complete understand how it could be perceived as irony. We mean absolutely no disrespect to any person who suffers from the disease. We have/had family members that are/were alcoholics. We all know someone. We politely ask that we all question our pretext before we pass judgement.

This is pretty cool community. So many talented, intelligent people – thank you for including us. We look forward to sharing more as our giant art project continues.

Peace,
Jonathan and Jessica

RURAL AND RUEFUL – I think you may have misunderstood. I've never been to a religious site where there hasn't been an "offering". Sometimes, it's actually alcohol. Most of the time, it's money. I appreciate your comments!!! Peace, Jonathan

Not an idol, per se. And, would a pile of money make it appropriate?

Hey Folks!
Thanks for all the wonderful comments. I started to get emotional – it's been a lot of work! I just wanted to answer a few of your questions:

DUANE HILL: Cabinets – oak. We didn't want to throw them out, so we had them painted and coated. The countertops are a now discontinued, acrylic product from Formica.

E.I.F.: Birds – To my knowledge there are 4?! Maybe there is an uninvited guest?

ALL: Guest Bedroom, Nursery and Bathrooms – these are current projects. I didn't feel comfortable showing them, yet. Exterior – the front of the house was bricked in the 70's (actually doesn't look bad). However, we are restoring it back to the original Eichler siding and adding 2 pocket-fences (15' fences that will slide into the front of the house so that the landscape is one continuous flow around the house). Xeriscape – Colorado native plants in a Japanese garden manner, maintained by Godzilla.

Looking forward to sharing updates with you all.

Peace,
Jonathan
