My husband and I own this grill. Bought it last summer. I was looking for a counter top grill and this one fit the bill while looking good. It works great, lights right up and the canisters last a long time. Our friends joke that it is the smallest grill in the world and give my husband a lot of ribbing. It is perfect for two people, however entertaining takes some fore thought. We keep it outside and it made it through the winter just fine. The cast iron grate is top quality.

Hi Everybody! This is Kara of Kara and Ken from the post. Thanks for the nice new comments! All the Cabinetry was done by David Swart at Wright Cabinetry in the O.C. He is really great, has done a few friends kitchens as well. Phone number is 714-530-7757.

Also I am selling my bus scroll, featured in the home tour, we have moved from our condo into a great Cliff May Rancho and do not have the wall space for it.

Sorry it's Ray Eames not, Rae.

For Carochan - the print you like above the chest was from Crate and Barrel but I purchased about 6 years ago.
For Centauriuk and others ... the artwork with the place names is a vintage bus scroll that I got from a guy at the Long Beach, CA flea market about a year 1/2 ago I lost his card and I haven't seen him again so I'm sorry I can't help. He gets them from someone in the UK.
For evablue and others you can contact me at cowboyandsapphire@gmail.com

Hi Everyone! Thanks for the comments. I'm about to swoon that we received a positive comment from bepsf! I really enjoy your comments bepsf and Ken would agree that the hallway rug is too busy but I like it! About swagging the light - it is not really possible as the ceilings are concrete and we are not supposed to drill into them. I have been thinking of raising the fixture snug to the ceiling - what do you all think?
In response to the questions - the vertical bookcase is from CB2, not sure if they still carry them but they seem to be everywhere; the hall rug in from Anthropologie, the floors are 1/2 engineered pecan hardwood, this is what is recommended to lay over concrete. They are glued down over felt acoustical underlayment and can be refinished although the floor installer said this is a really good product and should last 20 years or so; the console is a walnut built-in we designed along with the rest of the cabinetry by Wright Cabinets in Garden Grove.

Congratulations Chris! What a great trip!

I have the other apartment mentioned above with the bus scroll along with Matthew. I am amazed to see such a spirited debate about these scrolls. I bought mine a while back at the Long Beach flea market - it is vintage from the UK and has a wonderful weathered quality - I still love it and it fits my big wall perfectly. It is a bit disappointing to see them at Restoration Hardware but I'm not going to worry about it. I agree that outside of the AT world most people haven't seen or heard of them.

Love the lamps. Nice work.

Bed Quilt was Dwell for Target. I saw it on closeout the other week so they may not carry it anymore but there is a very cool grey Thomas O'Brian quilt also at Target.

I have the Fisher & Paykel 17.6 cu. ft. While it is a little larger than the units listed in post it is smaller than a traditional fridge and is counter depth. I like that it has a flat front. Water in the door works great, also can fit party platters. Have had for little over a year with no problems.
