Beautiful house tour! I love the patio! Christopher & Natalie's Touch of Hollywood Regency Loft House Tour Flag this comment	10/26/11 10:54 PM
Beautiful photos! I love the first outdoor one with the modern furniture by B&B Italia- amazing! Here are two other great stone walls that I found: Patio: http://www.houzz.com/photos/19913/Taylor-Lombardo-Architects-traditional-patio-san-francisco Kitchen: http://www.houzz.com/photos/19896/Taylor-Lombardo-Architects-traditional-kitchen-san-francisco I think that even though it's stone (that many times can look "cold" ) both spaces are warm and inviting.

I agree with sherryBinNH- you have to have the vault to do that. But it's beautiful. I also like the colorful ones, like this amazing green paneled ceilings that matches the sofa: http://www.houzz.com/photos/16374/Ashford-Associates-traditional-living-room-san-francisco and another view with a matching dresser this time: http://www.houzz.com/photos/16373/Ashford-Associates-traditional-dining-room-san-francisco Apartment Therapy DC \| Details that Make a Difference: Paneled Ceilings Flag this comment	6/9/09 3:24 PM
I like their advice: “Nothing worthwhile is ever easy.” So true! Beautiful house! Apartment Therapy Chicago \| My Great Outdoors: Lauren and Eric's Vivenda Moderna Kansas City Flag this comment	6/4/09 6:13 PM
I LOVE the orange fridge!!! Apartment Therapy Chicago \| Sleeping Loft from a Swedish Apartment#comments Flag this comment	6/4/09 6:11 PM
I still prefer the Dining Al Fresco for the summer but it's not always an option for everyone. In this case I think that huge windows in the dining room can sure help connecting with the outdoors. Here are two of my favorite dining rooms in NY and SF: http://www.houzz.com/photos/19565/Connecticut-House-eclectic-dining-room-new-york http://www.houzz.com/photos/18878/Feldman-Architecture-modern-dining-room-san-francisco I'm actually willing to "live" in each one of them...

Great tips Lily, I can't wait to start my little patio project over the coming weekend. I really like the oasis you had here last week: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/sf/roundup/roundup-creating-an-outdoor-oasis-084242 and I'm going to try to create something similar. I also saved a few other ones that i really like here: http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/3433/list/outdoor-spaces My only concern would be the lights (can't find something that I really like) but I agree with you that it needs to be soft and relaxing. Hope to finish this weekend and to post the photos next week. Apartment Therapy San Francisco \| How To... Create a Comfortable Outdoor Space#comments Flag this comment	6/3/09 9:37 PM
Great idea, I should do something similar with my Twinings Tea Caddies (but i only drink the Earl Grey Tea- should start buying the others too...). Apartment Therapy Los Angeles \| Inspiration: Windowsill Garden Melbourne Flag this comment	6/2/09 12:30 PM
Cool! I like the idea of watching movies under the stars. Here is another beautiful outdoor cinema setting by Belzberg Architects: http://www.houzz.com/photos/13395/Skyline-Residence-modern-exterior-los-angeles http://www.houzz.com/photos/13398/Skyline-Residence-modern-exterior-los-angeles Apartment Therapy Unplugged \| Outdoor Home Theater: Smith & Hawken's 42" LCD Television Flag this comment	6/2/09 12:27 PM
I like the red dresser with the flowers but not so crazy about the rest of them. Some are too small and some just not that great. Another option for a creative island can be a stylish dining table like this one by one of my favorite designers ever, Dufner Heights: http://www.houzz.com/photos/19567/Connecticut-House-eclectic-kitchen-new-york Apartment Therapy Chicago \| Creative Kitchen Islands Flag this comment	5/29/09 6:05 PM

I LOVE the west elm day bed (and btw- west elm sell a new one for $429). Just saw it this week at Sherry and John's beautiful sunroom and thought to buy one too: http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/3142/list/Houzz-interview---Sherry-and-John---s-charming-makeover Apartment Therapy San Francisco \| Scavenger: West Elm Daybed for $375 San Francisco Flag this comment	5/28/09 11:56 AM
I love the look- really cool (but as you said, not very practical and safe if you have kids). Apartment Therapy Chicago \| Floating Staircases Flag this comment	5/27/09 10:42 PM
Like jeffur we also have a secret "everything" closet. It's hidden between the garage and the kitchen and our tools box plus 1,000,000 small home improvment items are stored in that closet... Apartment Therapy Chicago \| Where Do You Keep Your Tools? Flag this comment	5/21/09 9:55 PM
I vote for the right side too- above the drawers. Apartment Therapy Chicago \| Good Questions: Where to Hang the Bookshelf?#comments Flag this comment	5/21/09 9:48 PM
