FERRET! i saw that picture and i asked my boyfriend what is that??! he tried to tell me it was a dog. i said it was a meercat just because i couldn't think of the word ferret. haha. that is awesome.

but on to the house. gorgeous. a little too much white for me. but overall it is amazing. love the art work.

that cd shelf inspires so much jealous. i would almost buy a house just so i could do that.

What the hell is on the coffee table? A ferrett? Is it alive or is it a dog toy? It's driving me crazy and it's a little creepy. I see they have two dogs and two cats, nothing is mentioned about a ferrett....

Beautiful home though...very airy. Love the ocean painting or print!

Uh...the ferret is dead and stuffed, right?

That's too bad, they are such sweet little creatures and fun pets.

Like the CD shelf and ocean painting.

Lovely home! Is that ocean wave photo/print/painting from Ikea? I think I saw something similar there. I adore your glass cluster light as well.

It appears as though the wave art is not from Ikea (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10185828/)

Love the credenza in the DR....where did you get that? Is it vintage?

Is the living room sofa from Room & Board? It looks like a wool blend upholstery (cambridge) - if that's the case how is the fabric wear? I've been on the hedge about getting it, vs. smth darker and synthetic.

Nice juxtaposition of living and dead animals.

love this home, it's really nicely done. i especially love that office nook.

Love JM Dry Goods! Happy they've opened an Austin location.

Wow, Ashley looks exactly like Coleen Rooney! (British footballer Wayne Rooney's wife).

Beautiful home. CDs are seem obsolete now...

It's an Ermine, not a ferret.
And pretty sure it's stuffed. Like for decoration (cute/ humorous) not as a dog or cat toy =P

these guys have great style! def. one of my favorite tours ever! love the mod mixed with colorful accents.

Very pretty home. Curious about the ermine too. I read about a trend of freeze drying dead pets and wondered it that was what happened to him, but he isn't named with the others.

Love everything but the annoying color coded books in pic 24. Otherwise, great job.

Wow, people still have CDs?

But really, beautiful home.

Hello, thank you for showing your home! Can you please tell me where you purchased the dining table? I love it! Thank you!

Lovely house! I would love to know the source and material of the bathroom counter tops!

Kyle here.... Just wanted to answer some of the questions:

1. The ocean picture is definitely from Ikea. I cut it down lengthwise by about a foot to make it fit in the space better.
2. The credenza in the dining area is from West Elm. I bought it about 4-5 years ago, and it doesn't look like they carry it any more.
3. The sectional is the Room and Board "Townsend" model in Tetris, which doesn't seem to be a standard choice for fabrics any more based on their web site. The wear has been fine so far, though we've only had it for about 6 months. One nice thing is that our cat isn't interested in scratching it (it's pretty smooth), which has been a big problem with our other sofas in the past.

Surely the Basquiat painting is a reproduction??

A few more....

1. The dining table is the Ventura Extension Table from Room and Board. With its two leaves, it can seat 6-8.
2. The bathroom counters are some sort of stone, but I'm not sure exactly what or where it came from (we bought the house as-is). I just checked the information we have from the builder, and it doesn't have any notes about the countertops.

Hey there guys, Kyle's wife Ashley here! Here's some more answers:
1. Dining table is from Room & Board. It expands to seat 8! We love it.
2. OK OK - so the handsome devil on the table is indeed an Ermine! His name is "King Tears" and he's, sadly, stuffed. We 'rescued' him from a vintage shop in town. People either love him or hate him...

-Ashley

Yep - Basquiat is a reproduction.

you know, there are some people who still buy CD's because they like the artwork as well (there's also that whole ownership of what you do with music thing, yada yada yada). Plus, used CD's are cheaper than MP3's.

I dig the graining on the wood kitchen cabinets.

The animal on the coffee table is an ermine: a weasel with its winter coat. I certainly assume it's no longer with us.

Lovelovelove the computer/bookshelf space!! Gorgeous! And the ermine is pretty kickass too (as a ferret owner, loving ermine comes with the territory!)

Love this home!

Where did you get the mechanics beacon light that is hanging above the bed in the room with the CD shelf?

The knot curtain ties are fantastic! Does anyone know the source for those? Thanks!

Lovely! So light and bright. Can I ask where you got that throw on the couch? I think I'm in love.

Your animals are so cute! Love the house too.

Hey guys, Ashley here - here are some answers:
- The beacon light is actually from Anthropologie :)
- The knot ties are actually monkey fists (a type of sailor's knot). If you look on Etsy you'll see lots of people that make them!
- The throw on the couch was made by Dwell

I'm so glad you guys like it!

Thanks for patiently answering about the sources, awesome home in every detail and I really like the overall aesthetics of the place.

Really like how you set up your Elfa - I'm saving that for reference. Also really like how you modified the Ikea painting, it seems better proportioned now.

I'm struck by how good these Elfa shelves look in the office.

Although Vitsœ is my dream source, The Container Store is a stylish, affordable alternative!

house is amazing love the art it really pulls the room toghter

Fleetwood is completely adorable. So are the other aminals, but that underbite melts my heart.

oh, and that song is freaking awesome. I thought I was the only one who based my decorating choices on my favorite songs!

Who is the artist for the painting with the dog, rainbow and airplane!?

@DecentMammal: While I can't help with source, that bathroom countertop looks like a granite called White Galaxy (though I've heard at least one person call it Milky Way too) --- I have it in my kitchen.

@Kyle and Ashley: Am transfixed with home and furniture envy. Such restraint with both the modern furniture as well the more traditional textiles, so much lightness and brightness, whimsy and practicalilty (those CD shelves! the blinds...) --- it's a beautiful balance. Feels soothing yet conducive to so much activity.

Especially adore the credenza in your bedroom, the chairs on that pink rug, and all your lights.

Lovely place! Thanks for sharing.

@Kyle and Ashley: Your white dog (Fleetwood?) is so cute! Is he a mutt or purebred?

Love the vibe of the place, especially the neutral bases with bold pillows and rugs.

Really, really wonderful. Lots of inspiration, here. Thanks for letting us have a look!

Hi guys! Ashley here. You're the bestestestest. Some answers:
1. The painting of my Chihuahua, Scout, was done by Monica Condict. We lost Scout this past October - and Monica created this piece in her honor. She does lots of cool custom pet 'folk art'. If you're interested in a pet portrait, you can contact her at conmon1981@yahoo.com -- she just did one of Fleetwood & Kate and we LOVE it!

2. Fleetwood is 75% Shiba Inu & 15% magic. When he came into our lives 15 years ago, we were told he was a big yellow lab. He ended up topping out at 25 lbs. and being...the magic you see before you. We recently found out that he's mostly Shiba Inu (the cream color) and something else. He's the love of our life.

The bedside lights are great.

i'd spend all my time removing black cat hair from the white couch and bedding, but it would be so worth it. *love*

Beautiful! Where are the blinds from? I know it says "Window Treatments: Restoration Hardware," but it seems that's just the drapes?

Hey there -
The window treatments are from Home Depot! It's the MyBlinds brant that they carry.

Have you considered buying an external hard drive and saving ALL THOSE CDs to it? Then you could use the space for other things...

Hey there IMD - we're actually total music dorks (I worked at a record store) and that's our *culled* CD collection! We've got vinyl too. We love MP3's, but sometimes we like going old format. :)

Seriously this house is yummy. Love the concrete floors and mix of styles throughout. So simple yet so livable. I'm hoping to purchase my own place soon and hope I can make mine look as effortless and lovely as yours! :)

Love! The house, your PETS, your sense of humor, furniture, bright white, chihuahua painting, etc. Rock on!

Space is nice, pets are cute, but how about one more pic of the owners!
Good Grief..

gorgeous home tour, well photographed and in general seems to be a very pleasant household.

Phew!!! Thought we were never going to get out of the living room!!!

Looks to me like that Fleetwood might be part wizard. I think he cast a spell on me.

Thank you. We too, believe, that Fleetwood is a wizard. Someone asked what our lamps are in the bedroom.
1. Tina Leung Micro Pleat Shade, Large. They're available online at The Conran Shop.

Great place! love the underlying sense of humour, having fun with the decoration.
Do you know where or who made the cement floor? I am thinking of doing a cement countertop for the kitchen and would love a good referral.
Best,
M

Hi Monica,
Our contractor actually did the cement floor. If you're in Austin, I could give you some names. You can shoot me an email @ ashleydewall@gmail.com

I ADORE the Southwestern-style pillows on your couch. I've been looking everywhere for something similar.. may I ask where they are from??

Hey there Evie -
I bought them on Ebay! If you search 'Kilim' you should come across some pillowcases in addition to rugs...

Hi, where are the two wood chairs from?

Nice combo of restraint and edge!

AT photographers: what's with multiple photos of the same view, just shot from a slightly different spot?

I want that Sugar Ray picture.......:)

As usual, the comments are as fun as the tours themselves.......

Hey there,
The chairs are from a place called Mercury here in Austin, TX! They're vintage -- but I've seen 'em around!
