@brooke.slabic Thanks! the Stikwood worked out great! Just a note make sure you do leave a tiny bit of space for the wood to expand b/c we had lined up some of the boards flush tight together and with the hot weather and then cold weather, we had some boards bubble out. But we were able to fix that. I believe we used "Morning Mist" - they have a variety of finishes to choose from that are all different, you can go to their website to see! Hope that helps!

Thanks everyone for your feedback & kind words! We're just happy to be able to share our home b/c we've enjoyed reading all the other House Tours on here! And just to answer some of the questions:

1. @Gipper @dezandseth - The green color of the bathroom is actually from the previous owner, so unfortunately don't have the info on that. We had this great print from LA artist Parvez that had various shades of green & matched perfectly in the space, so we just kept the paint color!

2. @ElaneB the yellow rug is from Chiasso.com

3. @sweettina the vanity unit is existing, I believe the previous owner had probably updated. Along with the flooring & most of the paint color - it's all existing from the previous owner.

4. @cbear22 that's one of our proudest DIY - the fireplaces! yup its Stikwood.com which we did discover at Dwell on Design 2012. It was easy & reasonably priced! They have all the info on their site & how to order.

5. @eIris The photo of my hubby & I on the wall - that's actually decor we used for our wedding a few years ago! We just went to a print/banner shop, enlarged one of our photos onto a matte board. We've had to slice it in half to fit this space. Previously in our loft we rented, we had a large wall that was the perfect space for it, but hopefully now we won't have to move it ever again! (well unless we get tired of it of course) ;)

Hope that helps - Cheers!

Brenna! Love the place and have always been a fan of your style! Sad you'll have to say farewell to it but I'm sure the new home of you and your beloved will be even more fantastic. Congrats on your engagement and I dig the toilet paper only b/c I remember your trials and tribulations at Vogue ;) xox

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Now there is a full house tour just posted! :) But still wanted to answer some of the questions:

- @DY71 The artwork in the dining room is by a Canadian artist which of course I can't recall at the moment (doh!) but we actually purchased that at Z Gallerie a couple years ago!

- @VintageBirthday its 2416 sq feet

- @ASizzle the geometric yellow rug is from Chiasso.com

- @KellyKato the fireplaces - those were actually DIY! Now we're still in the midst of making sure we can actually light fire in there (vs just burning candles) but I did go to allot of contractors and they quoted us pretty high just to add the wooden slats and a new hearth. So for the wooden slats look, we found this company called Stikwood.com, its basically peel & stick application. They manufacture these wood slats in various finishes you can apply to almost any surface (walls, headboards, kitchen islands) and they really stick well! Reasonably priced at around $6-8 per sq ft. So definitely not as an involved renovation as it looks ;) Hope that helps!
