Bright and cheery home!

Also, I love your corgi! I have a 2 year old female tricolor corgi named Ika:

The red wall is great!

oh, open kitchen, how i love thee!

AWWWW! Where is the tiny corgi print from?

A bit too vintage-y for my own taste but quite lovely. I love the bird squares and the overall color combos! :)

Such brilliant use of colour – brilliant sneak peek, I’ve been a fan of Dutch Door’s Etsy shop for a while now. xx

Oooh – what a lovely home!!
…Made all the merrier by the presence of the world’s greatest breed of dog – a little corgi! GOOD TASTE Mara! x

I love the green chair and the dinning room chairs – its is one of the best home previews!

Lovely! I adore their furniture, the dining room set in particular!

I agree with Keyse, something about this home makes it stand out from the rest for me as well… and yes the dog is cute but did anyone see that KID!?!? Named Dottie?? COME ON!!!!! Ridicutelous.

I love the headboard made from candle molds! This is why I love house tours- you get to see people’s creative ideas and usefulness!

Excellent sneak peak!

Corgi! Whereas some women squeal at the sight of a baby, a Pembroke Welsh Corgi does it for me.
Love your home too, especially all the red accents.

what paint color was used in the baby’s room? I am looking for something very similar for my kitchen!

I gasped when I saw that red wall! What a great way to make what might have otherwise been an odd little nook really really gorgeous! Beautiful palette, throughout.

And yeah the dog is cute, but what a beautiful little girl! Mama has a weakness for the same SKR’s as I do. :)

The beige color on the walls (light khaki, I guess) is exactly what I am looking for. Can you tell me the color?

Where did the bookshelf with the metal legs come from? I really like that.

What a great space! Love those stools.

A beautiful warm home. That dining area is pretty close to perfect, in my mind. Really lovely.

I love the kitchen. Mine is sort of like that too with pops of red. Beautiful!

what a lovely home

What is the paint color on the kitchen walls?

Thanks.

Beautiful home, Mara! I’m not surprised to see such a creative haven. : )

Beautiful home!
Isn’t the print over the stove by Heather Amuny-Dey?

so welcoming! I’m in love with the kitchen : )

My favorite is using the antique candle mold as a headboard! Lovely, lovely…

That green chair is my fave.

I love the little bike your daughter is riding, where is that from?

all of the seating in this house is gorgeous. i’m especially smitten with the stools in the kitchen.

That little girl is melting my heart :) What a sweetie! Fabulous home, I love ALL of it.

What a pretty home. I’m with all the green chair lovers — I want one!

WOW! The table and chair set is sending me into convulsions of pleasure! Such a good looking home!

LOVE the kitchen. And the kid’s room. This is an incredible place! (Coveting big time…)

thank you so much for all of your lovely comments! in response to your questions….
the paint is all benjamin moore and dottie’s room is sesame, our main area and kitchen is bleeker beige, and the red wall is brick red. the dining room chairs are from CB2 an the table is from crate & barrel. the corgi print is from swallowtail in san francisco. the frames and bookshelf with metal legs are from zonal in san francisco on hayes street…i’m not sure who made them but i love them! yes, i was wrong about the artist who made the print above the stove….it is heather amuny-dey (the post has been corrected. thank you “orit”). the bike dottie is riding is made by elc and has the cutest little trailor that attaches to it.

Hi Mara – I love love love the pillows, do you know if Lotus Bleu still has them? I am located in Boston….thanks!

-Stacy

this could be my favourite sneak peek! the colours, the brightness, the vintage feel, the light weight furniture, the beautiful original patterns… everything is just so perfect!

beautiful home! thanks for sharing.

Mara, I’m having fridge envy, who is yours by?

Mara has an incredible home… yes, we’d all like to move right in! And ah so nice to see so much beautiful wood celebrated here. Wood purists salute you, Mara! I admit the before/afters here on D*S are killing me. I’ve had to look away, too upsetting seeing so many repeats of natural beauty hidden under chip ready pancake makeup. Argh, a laziness epidemic? Instead look forward to gazing upon a pro wood refinishing project here and again pretty please. (If I have missed these, my apologies.) If someone must have color on their wood then suggest using something like Bioshield’s eco-friendly aqua resin stains and let the wood grain have its day . :~)

Love the open kitchen and clean design of the whole house. Very fresh.

One of my all time favorites. Like a lot of other people, I have a question about something: where did you get the line drawing displayed in the dining room next to the martryoshka dolls? Seriously, your house is all I dream mine will be some day.

What a beautiful home! Love the colors!

You’re home is beautiful! I love your kitchen counters…what are they made of? Thanks!

The house looks so inviting that we would like to visit and stay for several days. The owners, their daughter and dog really look like a great family.

I love the architectural touches..classic furniture pieces.
The white kitchen bucks all the dark wood trends. It’s so light and inviting.. .. Much like Jack and Lulu’s featured home.

I think the bright art work adds so much spark to your San Francisco home. Your home reflects your dutchdoor press style and taste. Very modern with a simple, comfortable Americana twist.

Hi Mara
Love your house!!!
Am in the market for a rocking chair – I love the one in the children’s room – are you able to tell me who makes it!!

I want to melt this place down to a puddle of niceness, step in it, and track it across my floor.

The rocking chair is from Design Within Reach. I love it because it folds up which is perfect when you are tight on space. The kitchen countertops are made of caesarstone. The line drawing in the dining room is a Matisse print that was a gift from my parents last year for Christmas.

Hi Mara! I was just telling a friend this week that I wanted a house that could handle a lot of color in the decor’ (kids drawings, changing artwork, rotating displays of stuff from outside, etc.) without clashing. I was thinking of a black and white rule of thumb for walls, trim, big furniture and such but you showed me how it could be warmed up a bit. You’ve done a truly beautiful job on your home.

Hi Mara! You have a lovely home. I was wondering if you could tell me a little more about your kitchen, in particular where you purchased your cabinets and what your countertop is. Thanks so much and thanks for sharing.

I would love to know where the rocking chair is from in the kids room, we are looking for one for our little girl Iris’s room.

I love your house Mara, I want to live in Dottie’s room, so so cute!

Does anyone know what style the green chairs are? Guessing mid-century modern?

golly…the cabinets are made by pedini and the countertops are made of caesarstone (in the color pebble with a 2″ lip)
sue huey…the rocking chair is from design within reach (love the name iris!)
shashi…our fridge is made by sub-zero

this is fantastic Mara, cool and cozy. love it!
your fans in Kansas City

Mara,
Everything so intereting and artistic–the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree. Now how on earth do you keep it this clean–and NO CLUTTER!

Lovely, lovely, lovely. I like your pops of color. Where is the crib from?

What a dream kitchen. So simple and sleek. I also love the print by Roxy and Winston. I’ll have to check them out.

I’m surprised no one has asked what color green you have on your bedroom wall yet? I’m searching for the elusive grass green color for my living room. What’s the name? and yes, I love your design and am using it as inspiration for my redecorating!

where did you get the great dining room table and chairs. we are looking for a round table and having trouble finding just the right one. Your house is beautiful, clean and fresh. Love your ideas.

Hi! congratulations! your home is beautiful, I was surprised to find the green chairs of the livingroom are a copy of one I have in my house, it´s not green, it is made of a white fabric. I just got it from an aunt´s house. I was wondering if it was made by a designer, the chair is old so we lost track of it´s first owner. I am from Mexico, is funny to find a copy of those unique looking chairs in another country. Do you know if they where made by a designer?

Hello Mara: Since DWR was listed for the barstools, thought it might be O.K. to mention that your great kitchen cabinets came from Spencer Knight who is now with Korts & Knight Cabinetry in San Francisco. We love your work too Mara. The kitchen looks great! Susan Korts Knight

I love the barstools and the green chairs in the first photo. Where are they both from?

I am simply in love with this gorgeous home. What a brilliant mix of furnishings, art and color! I love every room!

What a FABULOUS home!
Mara (or anyone), thanks for all the info as well. I was wondering where you found the faux fur covering for the rocking chair in the nursery? I’ve been looking for something similar for my two Bertoia charis and I can’t seem to locate anything.
Thanks for the great sneek peak! So many wonderful inspirations!

We purchased it at Design Within Reach. It’s called the “sheepskin throw” and wasn’t to expensive!

Hi Mara,

Where did you get the white shelving unit in the nursery? I am looking for something like this for our room.
Thank you!

so cozy place! It´s a house ready to seat and be comfortable!love your house…congratulations.

I’m speechless. This is like my dream home. What is the source/brand and color of your flooring? I can’t tell if its wood or laminate or sheet vinyl, but it’s lovely! I’ve been scouring the web for months to find something similar with no luck.

What a beautiful home. You have done an amazing job with your decorating. I love the crib. Is that made by Oeuf?
