love the closet!!

but side note if I see another keep calm and carry own print im gonna barf

Personally I like seeing the people whose home I'm viewing because it shows a little about how their lifestyle is reflected in the home, and vv. Basically I like a face to go with the house.

That said, I think that it's also a tactic to show that real actual humans live in the home, and it is supposed to deter nasty remarks:-)

I love their eclectic style! That dining room table is amazing!

Emily's blog was one of the first blogs I ever came across...her fashion sense is pretty awesome and now I'd have to say her interior styling is equally amazing!! Love that dining room table!

Thanks for sharing this...the perfect valentine's home tour!

Emily,
shoes on a table = BAD LUCK (just an FYI)

Also, I check out your blog most every day and I just wish you would update more than once a day. I love your style!

This is a very elegant house (great sense of detail).

(Sexy, well-dressed couple too!)

Cute house and while I love C & C, I'm just amazed Emily does this for a living and doesn't update her blog more often. It's crazy.

Cute house--nice vintage feel. I would love to see more artwork, though. I can understand wanting to get stuff you love, but I think the walls look really bare, and there's nothing wrong with placeholders!

I would like to know the source of the bed clothes in the guest room! Love the stripes and pillow cases!

I really love the pink office with the tassle garland. What a great place to go to work every day.

Wow. I wonder what it would be like to have close to no belongings...

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous... love the mix of colours, textures and shapes. And where oh where is that lovely cake stand from? I want it!! I also want one of your globes - if I had one I would put it within reach where I could spin it and dream... they seem so sad and neglected up there on that bookcase shelf. Really fab place though.

I. LOVE. IT.!!

Each room flows nicely together. I'm not a huge fan of pink on the wall, but it's surprisingly nice in your office. Good work!

love the keep calm poster. LOVE. I even got a TATTOO on my wrist that says KEEP CALM (om symbol) CARRY ON. THATS how much I love it. LOL everyone else here bashes it.

This is such a cute place.... I dream of the day my house will be so pulled together and "ten minute to company" ready- but with 3 cats, 2 large dogs, and 2 small kids, and me being the only adult....... it might not happen anytime soon. ;)

Love her website (agree, though, more updates necessary) and I absolutely love her apartment. She really does have great style sense and it helps that her photographer fiance is equally as talented, helping that come across in photos (a lot more difficult than one might think).

Love the pink walls, so luscious. What color and brand of paint is that? Also, love the poufs in the living room, the white mirror in the entry way, the tiled floor in the bathroom and the Anthropologie bowls in the kitchen. It's all in the details.

Sorry, just realized the paint color is listed above!

I love the exposed beams in the living room. Props for not painting them grey ala Young House Love.

doesn't look like they have completely moved in yet...

this couple/apartment is so unnervingly attractive that i feel like i shouldn't be viewing this House Tour on my work computer..

this post is now my Valentine.

This is less home related but still a design interest... Where did Geoffrey buy his glasses? I need a new pair and really like those!

Yes, definitely needs nice art --- a few large standout paintings. Maybe a little less TV...

that orange "bar" cart puts mine to shame...
http://ragamuffindesign.wordpress.com/2011/02/06/finders-keepers/

Needs more stuff on the walls. The dining table bench does not look good nor would it be comfortable. Both the Keep Calm and the regional map of words are so overdone. I am glad that they don't have some sort of a deer head on the wall though.

Cool house!! Great vibe you have going on there! Thanks for sharing. Now...I am off to check out your blog....

Love! Thanks for sharing.

great!

love your industrial bar cart with TWO bottles of Hendricks! and one of my biggest pet peeves is the fake menu/grocery list on the wall, however, you actually have nice handwriting so ill let it slide.

i reaaallyy miss the art on the walls though.

Love your place! Amazing. More importantly I am DYING over those boots. I have to know where they came from....

I dunno. I would rather have awesome clothes and shoes than dedicated art, by which I mean pretty things that do not serve an additional function. Clothes can make me feel happy looking at them as well as covering me up! It is a good deal! Also they have lots of mirrors hanging, where I assume some people would want art. As people have already commented on the attractiveness of the couple.... ;p

I approve of your shoeless ways, Geoffrey! And I really the like windows in the bedrooms. Do windows... often open inwards, actually?

Such a beautiful home and so pulled together after only four months. I love the office.

I wish there were a pop of hot pink or orange in the living room. Would you consider spray painting the greyhound statute? I think it would make a great pop against the white fireplace.

I really like the accent colors but I'm so with tinypuppy on the Keep Calm print...

Your friends are not requesting cocktails because of your bar cart, love (though it is adorable), they're asking because that bar reads like a who's who of alcoholic greatness. I'll have a Hendrick's and tonic with a slice of cucumber please!

First post I've ever seen at AT where the front page picture is of the couple and not the space. ;)

I'm not sure why, but I like this apartment.

AT should just change their name to Keep Calm and Carry On. @Tim B - yes they do also have some sort of deer head - check the wide shot of her office.

Cute place - I like that it is not perfect and it definitely looks like people live here - gorgeous people, but gorgeous human people. I can't stand that West Coast places have such flimsy moulding - I feel like every room would pop so much more if there were nicer moulding around the doors and windows.

The walls do feel bare but if you've been there only 4 months I'm assuming you're taking your time finding just the right art, it's good not to rush these things. Love the chest of drawers in the bathroom...it's the perfect storage solution for everything you'd ever need in there. I've only been able to do that in one living situation and I pine for the days when I can do it again. Great place, comfortable, bright and cheerful!

I am absolutely in love with Emily and Geoff's apartment. So unbelievably gorgeous!

House, nice. Boots- AMAZING. Please tell me where you found those.

I'm with Ornch and tands. Those boots are BEAUTIFUL. Nice place, too.

The pink room seems a bit bland until you get a gander of that incredible red settee - awesome pop of color. I love the bar cart - I saved a picture of it for future inspiration as I've always wanted one. And I'm super impressed that they had their dining room table/bench made, it looks great.

As for the artwork, it's not always easy for people to find art that means something to them and that they love. And that is the only type of artwork that should grace a home's walls, so I think it's admirable that they're waiting and not just hanging meaningless fillers.

chanel shoes= SWOON. And I like the place, too.

i sighed when i saw the first photo of the bedroom with that lushous grey paint, white trim and giant casement windows. then, there was a cat!

so lovely and serene. other than too much gold for my taste, i love their house.

There are just too many things about Emily's house that I love. The styling is superb! The rustic dining table and her pretty pink office are my favorites.

I want (in no particular order):

- the vintage bar cart in the dining room

- the pink tiled floor in the bathroom

- Emily's pink office

- all of Emily's shoes

- all of Emily's big funky rings

- all of Emily's bags

- all of Emily's clothes

- actually, everything in Emily's closet

Love that antler lamp on the white desk in her office. Fab.

My favorite piece is the red settee! It's perfect! I really love the office in general. And the dining room table is pretty much exactly what I want, never occurred to me to get it made custom or do it myself. I also love the bedding, exactly what I've been looking for!

I really like the feel of the entrance with the textured walls. Usually textures is something that is immediately removed and instead they really worked it to their advantage.

I love Emily's blog and I love many, many elements about this house, especially, as has been mentioned, the dining room table; the office; the closet; etc. But I agree with some of the others who questioned the house tour. I'd love to see this place featured again when it's a bit more complete.

I disagree that she should update more, though. She posts five days a week. They are short posts, but coming up with five new topics a week...that's a lot, no?

I love how minimally they live, and their style is really fun. My favorite things are the dining room table and the SF Ork poster. I hope to get a Chicago one some day.

This home feels very fresh and airy to me, and though it is more to the architect's credit than the residents', the windows are GORGEOUS. Those three things: fresh/airy/good windows are what "makes" any home, in my opinion. Nice.

The dining room is lovely and I love the bedroom with its gorgeous windows! I'm also a fan of Emily's blog, she has great taste!

Any word yet on where Emily got the boots she is sportin' in the photo? I keep checking... and hoping...

Oh yeah, and nice place too, ya'll! But back to the boots...

On a typical (weekday) morning, before even stepping foot out of bed, I grab my Macbook and head straight to Emily's blog. I just feel like she embodies everything I love! It's so nice to finally see her home in more detail... and it's perfect! I swoon at the wood beams and the little architectural details.

Her boots are VPL. They are called the cut-off boots.

I have apartment envy! Love it.

Structurally, this is a beautiful apartment. However, I feel like maybe just the office should have been featured. I agree with everyone else, the rest of the house looks a little unfinished (understandably), and the decorations they do have reflect more their ability to spend money on trendy items (the posters, the animal shot glasses, the $200 piggy bank) than they do a real sense of decorating style. Also, I agree with the above commenter on the lack of items in the house that seem to reflect Geoffrey.

I am in love with that kitchen. IN LOVE. I just saw a Craftsman at an open house this past weekend with hex tile countertops and the original cabinets, just like this one, and I wanted to immediately put our house on the market and move in. I could spend ours in this one, too.

The rest of the house is very nice, too.

The Pelican Grey walls in the master bedroom are delicious. What a beautiful what-exactly-is-that-color gray. The flatscreen television is surprisingly high. That's like sports bar height.

I love how they use trays to organize their flotsam. Using bowls and plates within the tray is very clever.

But people put things in their home because they love them, trends be damned! And can't you just feel when it's done out of love and not to follow a trend? Or at least pretend you do? The regional flair and Keep Calm seems totally organic to me.

I love the antler lamp in the office too! My favorite room is the living room. I like how it melds rustic and traditional touches (bookcases, ceiling beams) with more modern and functional things (big TV, iPod speakers). It's nice to see a room that's stylish but also comfortable -- some place you can tell real people actually enjoy spending time.

I moved four months ago too, and their space is way more put together than mine. Bravo!

So strange that people keep saying it seems empty and like they "haven't fully moved in yet." Really? I thought the place was completely filled out. I hate clutter and there is no clutter here. They have a stocked kitchen, a gorgeous table, plenty of places to sit, lay down, relax, a bunch if books, an amazing bar, an inspired work space. What more could they want or need? Or are the haters just looking for a wall-art-collage? Ha!

I think it's important to a) be tactful when you open your mouth with opinions about someones home b) consdier that not everyone designs or decorates their home with an interior designers tastes, eyes or view of what's right in a home c) peoples homes reflect what they want other people to see and know about them...and most importantly what they love. I'm kind of turned off by all the readers who have flooded these good peoples homes with negative input. NOT to be confused with constructive criticism (which is often appreciated) but I am talking about verging on slander of the person and their home. Emily's home is not the first home where people have written rude and hateful things... it's been seen in several homes. And why I ask you to follow the golden rule of "if you don't have anything nice to say... then don't say it at all" I must ask all you negative commenters...Where is your house???

As a representative of Apartment Therapy... I feel you all need to be reminded of the COMMENT POLICY:

We are a community that seeks to help people make their homes more beautiful, healthy, and organized. We believe that graciousness and courtesy are key elements of a beautiful home and therefore important elements of this conversation. Many people have opened up their private homes so we can learn and be inspired, and our rules for comments and discussions honor this sharing.

Our four rules for comments:

1. Be honest and fair, yet gracious.
2. No ad hominem attacks or gratuitous meanness.
3. Stay on topic.
4. Add value, don't take it away.

Comments must reflect the subject under discussion. Do not use the comment threads purely to promote your own site, product, or business.

I'm not talking about censoring opinions. I'm talking about using some tact. About graciousness. About having constructive criticism...not just for Emily's house... I mean anyone's home. Not every home will warrant the same love or hate... but I really think our readers/commenters need to learn how to use their voice more tastefully. Sometimes people straight up slander the home owners, which is completely un called for.

Oh I totally agree. I see people absolutely loving some of the same trends over and over, and though they aren't my style... I may comment that I love something else in the house tour- rather than draw negative attention to something in someones home...where the homeowners obviously loved it enough to show it...

I absolutely agree we all need to adhere to some constructive criticism. I just mean the really tactless and rude comments that people just seem to spout out with any real consideration.

The more I see the Keep Calm poster (more times than I can count on ten fingers and ten toes), the more I like it. I particularly like how people put their own spin on it. And I like the colors. I like it in black, because it makes a bold graphic statement; I like it in pink because it makes a girlie graphic statement. I like how it makes any room seem a little more casual and a lot more fun. And it feels young. No matter how old you are, young is good. Not only that, decorating doesn't have to be so serious! "Cliche"? That's a big serious word for a fun little pop of color with an interesting history and a nice sentiment.

I think I might get one.

The original tiles are the highlight of this house for me. That's my dream kitchen -- the tiles on the walls, counters, and floors. Much more fun and cozy than the modern stainless steel & granite numbers (I have one of those). The beams in the living room are awesome, too. Good bones, good bones.

Thank you, Beth, for making your presence known. I wonder sometimes whether AT is actually keeping up with the comments that readers are giving and whether you've considered taking some repeat offenders to task. If you're going to bother having a policy, you really should find a way to enforce it other than deleting choice comments.

@Hollywood Vision- you are definitely right about the overwrought excitement over the basic pillow and cound on this site. But I have to say- yes, I would shop at Target for my art. Sure,I have shopped at private studios and paid hundreds of dollars for a piece, or had a custom framing done of a poster from AllPosters.com. The framed ABC letterpress picture in my children's room from our local Target is no less valuable to the aesthetic of our home than anything else I've chosen for it.

There is something to be said for the fact that what strikes one person as ordinary, uninspiring, or overdone may be just what another person was looking for to bring their vision together. Period.

And that should be "couch", not "cound", of course!

Um...bump - Does anyone know where the guest room pillow shams and comforter/cover come from?

Every entry ends up becoming a fight about how to comment. Let people express their opinions. Express yours tactfully. Why so serious?

Emily-I am looking around for a new front door and was wondering if you know anything about yours. If it is new could you tell me where it was purchased or what brand it is? Thank you : )

it is okay..

I would really love to see a tour of Emily's home 10 or 15 years from now. I think that she has a lot of potential which is not necessarily reflected in this current house tour.

Love the dining table and some of the vintage pieces, and the pink office is especially lovely. It's obvious that this couple has great taste - and that the apartment has a lot of unrealized potential. Clearly not yet ready for a full house tour. But why the excessive censoring? If you open your home to a feature like this, you should be prepared for a variety of opinions. It's actually kind of funny that the photographer's posts weren't deleted; now she looks like she's having a raving argument. With herself.

I want to be friends with @hollywoodvisions.

It does take a little creativity to critique something without coming off as overly biased, antagonistic or rude. Diplomacy is an art.

Maybe there are some posting hints in the comment policy?

Like every homeowner who showcases their home on AT, I too commend this couple--takes guts (!). In my humble opinion, I think that the entry way mirrors conflict with each other. Gold and white, not feeling it...gold table...not my favorite.
Love the gray walls in the bedrom and how can you not adore the exposed wood beams and arched doorways? Lucky architectural details!

I didn't know her fiance was a photographer. Why not hang some of his photos on the walls?

So beautiful! I love how their home is 'clean' without feeling austere. Warmth and personality everywhere without the clutter. I adore her blog as well :)

i wish we could see the progression of the house. and i love the keep calm poster. i think people who hate on a keep calm poster must be neurotic awful messes themselves. you guys are such an adorable couple. the best of luck to you. hope to see you more here on AT!

I love it, especially the office. I also like the clothing rack out in the open.

Resource for luggage racks in guest room please?

Such a nice mix of texture and color. (I went back for a 2nd look just to oogle your shoes)
You seem to have found the nice half way point between too much and how to edit the things you love. Thanks for the peek into your home.

This seems like a really good tour of an apartment to rent, in that the real star of the show is the architecture, not the design the couple brought to the space. I agree with others who have said that perhaps the tour was a bit premature -- and I'm wondering if perhaps the couple wasn't a bit too eager to show off their space, rather than spending some quality time living in it. There are some lovely elements here and there that show a good eye for design (or, more likely, a good sense of how to copy other people's good design) that make me think they could have a great space in a couple of years. Overall, though, it doesn't show a whole lot of originality.

Oh, and last but not least, the curtains in the dining room should have been opened before the photos were taken. As is, they just look cheap and sad and don't do much to accentuate the windows (which, based on the rest of the house, I'm guessing are divine). They would have added a nice bit of texture and pattern if they'd been opened.

So amazing blog i like your post.
