This house is so sweet and dear, a true home sweet home. I have fallen in love with this house. Indoors and out (and that perfect porch in between) it looks like a place where you could gain inspiration by just being in it, where you would just have to sit at the desk, or the porch or the lawn, take a pen to paper and write or draw and everything you create will magically be a masterpiece. Ah, what a house.

It's delightfully daring and fresh in a vintage way. Go team green! I love that it doesn't look like anything else, they took a risk and it looks playful and fun. Well done.

While I like the interior, I didn't quite get it until I saw the view. Such a serene, beautiful place. I agree with the son who wants to live in a small house on the lake, instead of a big house in the city! Me too! Looks like a wonderful house to live in. Enjoyed the tour, thank you. (Can't wait to see more of the outside!)

I love it all, even the swamp fish! How the gold detail emerge from the industrial grey and the beautiful red comes at you like a matador's cape. This house is amazing! Yes, it must be a great party house. Thanks for some great ideas!

It is a sweet, serene retreat get away house. So beautiful to not be distracted by too many colors. The warm wood details and the green touches are just enough.
I love it.

Oh, stop.

It is beautifully done, absolutely perfect. Great job putting all of the toys and clutter with dogs and a baby.

I am not in love with the willow branches, the pebble tile on the wall and the view of the street traffic from the pool area, but it's certainly not a crap factory.

Get some more plants, maybe some palms or a big potted jade inside and outside needs a privacy wall or at least a hedge.

I am keeping these wall patterns in mind for my entry and a living room wall. It is absolutely sumptuous and elegant. Well done.

Alice Cooper would be proud! (particularly of that shockingly scary bathroom) The exterior is absolutely stunning. The snake on the wall actually fits in the space, if only for the rocker party theme.

The Incredibles house is incredible! I love everything about that house, yours is a wonderful real life version of it! It is an inspiration house for me also!

I thought it was just me too! 13 years, 13 years nothing but a wonderful vegetarian life then it all ended with peperoni! Now I wonder how I did it before, I am such an omnivore now, but I think one day I'll go back and give up my bad meat eating ways. I did feel better then, not as tired.

Abuelita used to make these, but we called them chorizos...mmmm.

I've always wondered how to do this, thanks.

My questions are: how do you make the sausages with out casings is that what you mean when you say find something sausage shaped to mold them. What do you suggest?

What a wonderful result for something that is usually so hideously ugly! Those are my least favorite chairs but so comfy for nursing or cuddling. Great idea.

Beautiful, intricate, delicate design that does surprisingly work in a modern context because of its crisp clean edge. Put a candle in it and it glows like alabaster.
