Such great outdoor space and I love the art. That studio... I need to have one.

@Maybe Someday & @kushkush - hipster or not the label doesn't concern me, but listening to vinyl is an experience if you have good equipment. I had a similar experience growing up as Maybe Someday. Although back then my favorite album was Bob and Doug McKenzie... anyway I digress. Kushkush you should check it out. Nothing against iPods and the rest, they've done huge things for music and most definitely have their place - I love them. But if you really like music vinyl is pretty great... you might get labeled a hipster but you'll get over it. Also we definitely don't claim our place is super original - we didn't set out to design something for a photo shoot - its just a collection of stuff we like. Appreciate you checking it out whether you liked it or not.

@Mister B - you are absolutely right. I was describing my style though and this is about bringing two styles together and making each person feel like it is their home. We both live at the extremes and we didn't want either of us to feel like our style got steamrolled by the others. Thank goodness for Tami otherwise this space would be without personality or color. Probably as we are here longer and the space evolves it will become less about two conflicting styles being woven together and more one altogether different style emerging. Glad you liked the space especially the lights. It is one of my favorite parts also.

And @bookster , first rule of being a hipster is you do not talk about being a hipster

PS I am loving how much everyone loves "Sheep". That and the picture in the door were small jokes that made Tami and I laugh; I did not expect others to enjoy them as much as we do. Decorating shouldn't be so serious. I don't want to live in a space that feels like its ready for Architectural Digest to show up at any minute.

Thanks for all the compliments. I'll let Tami give the details about "Sheep" (ok so our creativity doesn't extend to naming things... whatever), but I believe he/she is the Serta sheep.

@slangevar - 1) glad you like the art 2) while that is Vin Scully, it isn't Dodger Blue... Tami is a Cubs fan 3) RIGHT??? she gets that a lot... and 4) ABSOLUTELY!

@thorndale I definitely understand and respect the question. I'm a Schindler fan myself and while I'm sure there are plenty of architectural buffs who would disagree with what we did, the intention was to highlight the things Schindler was very intentional about such as the use light, the communal layout, etc. The windows in the entry way are great and the bar cart and chair were put there to make it more of a social area (like how everyone huddles in the kitchen at a party) as well as a well lit spot for us to read in during the day... unfortunately they stay drawn most of the day since they look STRAIGHT into the house and bathroom from the sidewalk... Excellent thought though. I really appreciate people who consider the architectural intent and features of a house - so great observations.

@SkylarkMelody - I'm sure Tami would love to bring her wand over. Reach out through her blog or website if you are interested.
