This is a great use of a narrow lot. It's so open and bright. I live in a neighborhood of older homes like the ones pictured, and I honestly don't care if someone wants to build something new and different in the middle of them.

Why must we be trapped forever in the 20s, or whenever those earlier (and actually quite homely) houses were built? Time moves on, life moves on, design moves on.

Gambrel roofs like the ones pictures actually force inefficient use of space on the second floor, and awkward "storage spaces" around the edges of sloped rooms.

The new house is a much more efficient use of space and materials.

Men like baths, too! We just expanded a half bath to a full bath with soaking tub so my husband could have good soaks (of course, I like it, too).

I think a shower-only is better than a shallow tub, though. That's what we have in our main bathroom, and it's pointless.

For a simple, no-cook sauce, I like this Triple Tomato Sauce from Food & Wine that uses fresh tomatoes, sundried tomatoes and tomato paste with basil, garlic and olive oil.

We kept two old doors from a remodel and turned them into desks with the square Ikea chrome legs shown in the last picture. We had tempered glass tops custom made.

I love the desks, but keep in mind that a large sheet of tempered glass can be $100 or more, depending on thickness.

I would prefer to have three gas burners in a V formation, so you could have large pans on all three burners at the same time. Also, I would want all three burners to be able to go from very low simmer to very high BTU for maximum versatility.

I much prefer the bright, informal Usonian houses to the Prairie houses, which I find to be formal, dark and depressing.

These are probably the nicest white appliances I've seen. They look great in your kitchen and contribute to the "zen" feeling.

My family lives out of state, so we've set up a "guest suite" in our basement, and we have two queen sofabeds. We could sleep 6 extra people in our relatively small house if necessary.

In general, though, I would say it depends on the guest.

If you're still checking back here, do you mind telling us the make and model of your refrigerator? It fits so nicely in the space.

Great job! I agree that moving the refrigerator made a big difference. I see a lot of kitchen renovations that make cosmetic improvements, but don't solve layout and function issues. It's nice to see a kitchen that looks beautiful AND functional.

I like all of these ideas. I'm kind of psyched about the table with the non-froufrou skirt. It looks like you could just attach a rectangular piece of fabric that has prefinished edges. I'm down for anything that doesn't require threading a bobbin.

Incredibly beautiful house, but "rustic" is a stretch. This is a straight-up fancy house, and I want it!

Thank you for responding about the fridge. I appreciate hearing about your experience.

Wonderful kitchen. I'm drooling over the walnut countertop.

How do you like the performance of the Summit refrigerator? Do you have room for all of your fresh veggies?

Wow, these comments almost make me feel sorry for Ms. Paltrow.

If she produced a good, useful cookbook, then more power to her.

I'm trying to eat a larger breakfast and a smaller dinner, but it might take a while to train myself to want a larger meal in the morning. I usually eat breakfast at work, so I get distracted and forget to finish whatever I'm eating.

I could try to get up earlier and eat breakfast at home, but I just have no appetite that early in the morning.

"We admit we had to look up just when the kaleidoscope was invented (1814)..."

Only Rain Man would know off the top of his head when the kaleidoscope was invented.

I love that pendant lamp!

Could we have more details on the paint colors used in each room?

Only one paint color (Hazy Skies) is mentioned in the Resources section, and there are great colors in each room.
