Where is the shed roof house picture on the top right from? How do I find more documentation on that home? Thanks!

I just love this rehab. What a difference! Great, great job. I hope you're enjoying long dinners in your new space. Great job having the guts to go 2 different colors as well. I could never had done that. Kudos.

To re-state the obvious here: Lighting, lighting, lighting. Couldn't agree more.

Quite surprised at how this house divides the readers. It's LA. It's light. It's airy. It's modern. This house is a home run. The details could not be cleaner or more subtle. You can tell someone spent a lot of time in pursuit of this. Less is more. Beautiful!

Fantastic post! Love the beverage cart and the magazine holder. Fab, vintage pieces. Thanks for sharing!

The 'wooden pallet-type' thing is an old dolly from a furniture warehouse/ plant. We have one and it was a disaster waiting to happen with our 2 year old, but am looking forward to bringing it back out 20 years from now. Restoration Hardware is re-habbing and selling them.

Don't quite get the fake brick wall either. Exposed brick walls are great if they're 100+ years old. Perhaps if they were going for a textural accent wall, a wall of vintage barn boards would have accomplished the same thing while adding a little history? Regardless, the vintage pieces really warm up the space and the dark floors look fantastic! Nice work.

Comme ci, comme ça.

Looks like Home Depot Johannesburg had a sale on cream paint. Nice furnishings, and the hardwood floors are breathtaking. Otherwise, too big/ non-cozy.

Awesome home! Would love to spend the night there!

Um,... kudos to 'quietmouth'. If one doesn't like the idea of trying something out first, or spending $1,200 to test something, then don't do it. Great post. Should you decide to make permanent, then you'll know what to do next. If not, then you have a perfect template for a new planter bed!
