That is phenomenal! It is so great to see the same design concept carried from room to room and so nicely executed. It is a house where the details make a beautiful whole. Congrats!

Beautiful home - So nice to see a kitchen renovation that doesn't involve IKEA

Here, let me take those kitty cats off your hands. *runs away with armloads of lovely kitties!*

Great looking house. I need to get that knife holder for my kitchen too.

I want your house -- and the Carmen Ghia!

Hands down this is the best home tour I've seen on AT! I love the cohesive design throughout the home. Nothing here sits up and screams, "Look at me!" It's a very calm environment and it's given me several ideas for my own home.

Congratulations on a wonderful achievement - and WHERE did you get that knife block?

Frank --

The car is a Karmann Ghia.

"Carmen Ghia" was a character in the 1968 Mel Brooks film, "The Producers"

Why are there three salt pigs in the kitchen?

The knife block is "The-Ex" and can be found on Amazon, amongst other places.

Thank you for the kind comments! We are tickled to have our home featured on AT.

The knife holder is by Raffaele Iannello and is appropriately called "The Ex". We found it at Chartreuse in Seattle, although I've seen it on amazon.

Hope this helps! Thanks again!

What a beautiful home! Thanks for sharing. In images 11 & 12, where'd you get that "roy's" image?

we are embarking on (and blogging about!) a similar project in the northwest as well and this home is an awesome inspiration for us! thanks for sharing.

I love the kitchen! Here is my list of what I like about it:
- Everything
:)

The "Roy's Motel Cafe" image was taken by a friend who was touring Route 66. It's a popular landmark, try google? Maybe there is a website? :)

I want this house! Absolutely every inch of it just as it is.

I agree with an earlier poster - this is the best house tour I've ever seen on AT.

astonishing! can move there for sure!
Great job!

I really love this home. Tastefully done. However, I don't really care for pets on kitchen countertops or any counter for that matter. Kind of grosses me out. But that's just me.

I really like the strong, simple, masculine lines and materials in the cabinetry, both in the kitchen and the bathroom. They suggest understated quality.

The master bedroom (especially the light) is another high point.

Large homes are frequently featured for house tours on this site. People can get design inspiration from anywhere. I don't understand the issue.

It's beautiful! I really love the deck furniture. I hope you got lots of use out of it a couple weeks ago when it was in the 70s. :)

Hilarious... I was hoping to see the responses to my comment, but instead the censors and self-righteous zealots flagged the post.

I never said it was an ugly design, quite the opposite... it's a beautiful home, in a beautiful neighborhood. Saying it belongs in Sunset Magazine was a compliment as well, because I love their architectural and design articles.

I think it's a pretty fair question though: why feature a 2400sqft house on a site for people looking to design in small spaces? Let's see how long it takes for this post to get flagged as well...

Although I did not flag your post, I don't think it was your question that prompted a flag but maybe your tone and remarks around the question that did. As the homeowner I cannot answer why I was approached to be featured on AT. I thought it odd at first as well. But if the aggregate of the previous posts don't validate the benefits of the inspiration received then maybe you should direct your question directly to AT's "contact us" link instead of pulling this thread off-topic of its current context. It's evident to me that there are subscribers who enjoy and benefit from the myriad of larger homes featured on this site. So let them enjoy.

Your previous comment wasn't about the featured home, it was about how bitter you are that you can't afford a home in Seattle and you hope the homeowners enjoy the moss. I didn't flag you, but I can certainly understand why others did. Just let it go. For your information, people who live in Seattle tend to like the weather and the moss that comes with it--otherwise they wouldn't be living in Seattle.

It's a lovely home. But I chuckled when somebody at bepsf's comment about the kitchen not being IKEA. I like IKEA kitchens, I like non-IKEA kitchens. But a cat sitting on a kitchen counter? TIMATOV.

I desire your home, the cats, the location.. furniture is a little too modern for my taste but it's gorgeous nonetheless! Ohhh exposed wood beams <3

I think I may have worked in this home clearing its contents after the previous owner passed away, and it was indeed a lovely, serene place to be - you are indeed lucky and have made it even more beautiful than it was before.

Love your home. Great design. Beautiful environment. Don't like pets resting on kitchen counter..Yuck!

Hello I love your house. Can you tell me where you got the metal organizers in the kitchen in picture 7 and the light hanging from the ceiling in picture 21? Dana you do look like Wonder Woman. A beautiful house for a very handsome couple.

I'd be interested to know the source for the pullouts in pic 7 as well.

Upper cabinets are such a pain because the stuff in the back and up high gets lost. This makes it a lot more accessible!

I seriously love this kitchen.

Doesn't Dana look proud in that photo? She is! Those pullouts have been a lifesaver for both of us. The upper cabinets are a full 27" deep so even a stool that was hard to store wasn't sufficient. I do not recall the make but they were from Lowes. HD does not carry them. Multiple sizes available. Easy DIY project.

The light in the Master is original. I believe they are referred to as 'pull-down' lights. My favorite piece in the house. It is so atomic. I thought it might be a fabric light missing it's fabric but turns out it isn't. The white tube is glass and the light lifts up and pulls down on its cloth cord into the egg just above the light. Wish I had a second one for the carport.

What you don't get to see in the shoot is the magnificent wall to wall, floor to ceiling original teak built-ins in the master on the opposite wall framing the light.

Wondering if you painted the wood ceiling & beams? I have a house pretty similar except the ceiling & beams are natural. Nice house! Sorry can't take the kitty on the counter!!

Roy, I'd be proud too if I could get to the back part of my upper cabinets ;-)

Seriously, thanks for the info on the pullouts.

Again, congrats on a job beautifully done.

I love this house!!! A lot of the elements are similar to my own home which was built in the early 60's and was hardly upgraded since that time. We have been upgrading it ourselves room by room since purchasing it three years ago. Your home gives me some great inspiration!! Thank you for sharing!

Gorgeous! Also love the knife block, tee hee.

Hot dang, I'm old and poor! Good thing I'm happy.

Your home is beautiful. Looks like a wonderful place to come home to.

Mo@mwh: Thank you for your question. Yes, the beams and ceilings are painted in the living/dining/kitchen areas. I believe the original owner/builder painted both the ceiling and the beams white! The 2nd owners, from whom we purchased the home, had the beams painted espresso brown and the ceiling painted in almond. The ceilings in the bath and bedroom have been restored to their natural wood grain and stained. Would love to restore all the ceilings/beams to their natural state at some point....but not sure it's worth the time/money/effort at this point. Maybe if we win the lottery! :)

Wow!!! Love it.

It's lovely - nice work you two.

I have the knife block too - in red.

Also, all the comments about the cats on the counters are silly - cats climb where ever they like...

Fantastic!
