HooteNanny: The shower curtain is by Marimekko and is called the Kaiku Shower Curtain. We blogged about it here: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ny/tubs-toilets-showers-sinks/marimekkos-kaiku-shower-curtain-017156

SherryBinNH: that particular window isn't for the actual house, but the basement, which is at first floor level. The house they live in is upstairs and the windows aren't blocked out.

Sanriofreak: You're right. It's Emeryville.

geoffm: i believe it is a type of succulent called aeonium arboreum

Sneakers: Thanks for the links! I hadn't seen her work before. They are beautiful!

gryt: thanks for the suggestion! done.

I was surprised to read that the bright color scheme of Victorian houses actually came about way before the 1960s. People started painting their Victorians in bright multi-colors after the Civil War. Probably not the day glow colors you sometimes see around SF, but still... the origins go back!

kimg924: I mean that you might expect that there is actual structure behind the false front. Not all Victorians, nor all Italianate Victorians, have free-standing facades like these ones do.

bepsf: Actually, one of the key design elements of Italianates, which were heavily influenced by early Roman architecture, is that they have flat roofs. So it seems that the technology did exist. As lifesized doll says, it was all about appearance.

I believe they told me that the white wall duck was from a thrift store. I found one almost exactly the same (except with colored doll eyes) at a thrift store in Pescadero over the weekend.

Hi guys -- Thanks for the comments. I agree that the top shelf needs some work. I'm thinking of getting doctor's office style glass canisters to store cotton balls and q-tips. Otherwise, I don't really like to put too much stuff out on display, in terms of products.

cmu - the toilet paper/magazine holder can be bought <a>here for $19.99.
