Ahhhh this tour makes my heart smile! Adorable little Elliot and brother Bear!

Where is the fan in the nursery from? It looks like a floor version of the Hunter retro fan...

I too have an embarrassing number of truly giant antique mirrors. I love them! They’re my favorite design element. The ornate plasterwork is beautiful, and they make any room brighter and larger.

p.s.- your home is lovely and everything… but? That baby!!!!

I would love the color of the paint you used.

I am living in a rental with the same wood panels and I have been struggling over a year with what color to paint it. I want it white, but my partner says no, and I hate the ugly canary yellow that's on it now.

Love the homey but chic feel. Love the curtains in the nursery and the diver triptych

I am most impressed by the DIY diver triptych. That looks professionally done, and so creative.

Lovely -- large for SF! -- home. I lived near Duboce for many years.

Two questions...isn't the leaning mirror on the floor an issue with a baby who will soon be learning to pull herself up on things, and with earthquakes? And why do you keep your adorable dog in a harness?

Hey Omorioala, I think it is the floor version of the Hunter fan... I have one in bronze which I got on Amazon. I love it.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE this house. Real attention was paid to the little details. I love the subtle humor throughout. Thanks for sharing.

I think this is my favorite AT House Tour EVER.

Lovely and the "For Like Ever" poster is in the right spot! I love it.

Super cute.

The dining table looks tricky though - is it hard to actually eat on it? The glass looks as though it's inset kind of deep - how do plate balancing work out? Do you just set them inside the wooden lip? Just curious. Either way, it looks great.

What an adorable chubbo baby! Also, your husband's hot, your dog is hilarious, and your apartment has THE most pleasant atmophere!

Erin, you're not doing too bad.

OMGGGG I love that teepee!!! That is hands down the most unique and creative thing I have seen in a nursery.

Love the rest of the house too. Thanks for the tour :)

very soothing home. love the colors!

I love the wooden wall bookcase- where is that from?

Such a lovely family! I had two quick questions though... One, what is the name of the color of paint in the bedroom, and where did you find it? Also, I LOVE your (Erin's) jeans! Are they J. Crew? ;)

Holy crap! That's a rental...that's one of the nicest rentals I've ever seen. Well done!

I like this house very much! Such an adorable young family!

I also have darker wood trim all over my apartment and am dying to know what the wall paint color is!!

Love this home. It has so much personality, and I can see how I would be asking questions about everything inside this home, "where did you get that", "where can I find this", etc. etc. The dog and the baby are scene-stealers.

Only one comment, which is more of a personal choice and has nothing to do with your adorable home--why do you need to wear shoes inside your own home? The first picture makes it hard to judge if you are the owner or the guest.

Gosh...I like it all!

I'm pretty sure I can't find anything I DON'T love here!! I've been struggling with finding out what my new homeowner style is, and I'm pretty sure I've found it :)

Modern Love...I'm guessing they were wearing shoes because they were having a family photo of sorts taken and maybe that just seemed more logical or comfortable. I don't think it's necessarily a direct reflection of how they live their daily lives at home :)

Love love love everything. Really a beautiful and personal space. As a renter it's definitely hard to personalize temporary spaces and you've really done a lovely job.

My only comment (sorry, have to): Brother Bear's harness is on upside down. They gray part goes under his arms. I bet he'll be much more comfortable if you flip it over :)

the gray part*

Nicely done! Love those refinished IKEA night tables & the Target lamps atop them. It just goes to show a) you can spruce up a rental to make a house a home & b) good design does not have to cost a mint. Elliott is precious -I love her spartan nursery. The kid has a teepee -how cool is that?

What a gorgeous family! My favorites were the tee pee, the framed mirror, and the wall color in the bedroom.

Love it!!

My favorites are... the coffee table, huge fluffy rug, giant mirror, oh and the slat bench in the bedroom... :)

Well done

Good Lord, San Francisco and 1400 square feet! I am SCARED to know how much you pay in rent!
Lovely apartment...Looks like people actually LIVE here...Most COOL bulldog!

Love your home! I was thinking the same thing about the wood molding in the home, that it could have darkened the rooms and made things colder feeling, were it not for your lovely use of white fuzzy things and white fabrics in general. I like the floor mirror in the living room.

It looks like a dog eating a horse head on the bed pillow, and normally I wouldn't comment on something like that, except that if that is actually what is going on in that image, I would want to know. I'm sure it's just the folds in the pillow though :) And how could I forget the teepee. Very unique!

Griffin, you seem like a really happy, likeable person.

I want the dog. (Nice house, BTW).

The dog is adorable.

Word! Cutest family, Ever. Love everything about this flat. It looks like real people with real lives live here. Love the paint color in the dining room. Source? Did you remodel the kitchen or did it come that way? And what is that completely cool thing in the corner of the bathtub?

This is rad! Great job. Btw, what paint color is that in your bedroom?! I've been searching for something similar for my own bedroom.

Thanks

@Griffin, looks like someone needs a hug today.

Family + dog + apartment = adorable.

Adorable family. Love the vibe of the house. And I seriously want some mint-green jeans now ~

I just love this. I love everything about this apartment. The mix of vintage and modern is just right, and I LOVE the woodwork.

very nice! and hey, what's the paint colour in the living room?

geeeeez with all the ikea comments. i think she meant that she wouldn't have to deal with all the insanity that ikea is. obviously she likes it, she credited it in almost every room.

@Griffin, why are you so angry?

re shoes: I cant speak for the homeowners, but any picture of me in my home will also likely show me in shoes because I have a rather common condition called a neuroma and walking or standing barefoot on any hard surface exacerbates it to the point of AGONY.

Or maybe they just have ugly feet.

Nice house!

Great job of decorating and working with the dark woodwork. Amazing rental to find as well. Having lived in SF since '89 I know how hard it is to find a decent looking rental let alone a stunning one like this.

the, dooooogggg is the bomb! Your place is full of light, life and just plain gorgeous!

Floor fan: I have one from Restoration Hardware in black that looks very similar. Love it.
Great tour.

Fantastic apartment and lovely family. Shoes in the house? Not so much. You walk outside in them where people spit, dogs urniate etc, and then you walk around your house and bring in all that dirt and germs which the baby will be crawling around in...

Just sayin...

All the "shoes indoors" stuff... i'm frequently in nothing more than boxers indoors in summer, but bring the cameras round and that would change! so I don't think the photos give a clue on this.

I don't wear shoes indoors because barefoot is the way ahead to protect back, arches, and everything else, and that includes running, but that's another topic for another website.

Love everything! Lovely apartment and lovely family. That pup? Oy vey I want to kiss that face all over!!!! And the baby too :) You guys are totally nailing the whole good life thing. Good job you!

Great house tour. Where did you get the triptych of the diver??? I NEED it... :)

I am so in love with Brother Bear. What a sweetie! Super cute family, love the art in this house.

Great place! And I love the look of trepidation that Elliott has in the first shot. What a cutie!

I too am impressed by the DIY diver triptych... it's in this month's Lonny (source Trowbridge Gallery) for a mere $3,500, if you're not in the mood to DIY. ;p.

Would you mind sharing the etsy seller for the teepee? Many thanks!

LOVE the tee-pee in the babes room. Great touch.

The first photo made me smile. Elliot and Brother Bear are soooo adorable. Beautiful home.

@Jukesgrrl - not everybody goes gaga over babies. That's just the way it is. I don't want speak on behalf of Fromage, I can only speak for myself - it doesn't mean I am a kid hater but I will always find dogs more adorable than kids.

@Jukesgrrl -Yes, that's exactly what I meant when I said the dog was adorable. I meant the baby is chopped liver. How could I have meant anything else? My goodness, you're a pot stirrer, aren't you? Give it a rest and concentrate on your own opinions without making them up for other people, maybe?

@Canadianmango - agreed, dogs trump humans every time, imo. Though for the record, I love babies and go gaga over them too. I guess because I didn't think to include the sweet baby in my comment, it was up for grabs by someone quick to jump on me for it. But I do think the baby is adorable, too. :)

Love it - not at all staged, but still a beautiful home tour. Fun to see a family in SF. Hip, modern, without running into the tropes we sometimes see her on AT. More fun tours like this!

Everything works in this place! From the furnishings to the tiniest details like the books to the dog - it all works wonderfully together!

I prefer how the colour is taken all the way to ceiling in the living room, as opposed to the other rooms where the colour stops abruptly beneath the picture rail. It's just a pet peeve of mine. Otherwise, great job and cute dog!

There are so many elements to this home I love I can't just pick one/ The dog is so cute!

Wow, as someone who supports herself by taking photographs, I am very offended, first, by calling it a DIY project when the homeowners merely printed someone else's creative work and framed it, and secondly, by the fact that doing so is definitely copyright infringement. Not only is it illegal, but it is unethical. If you can't afford to purchase an artists work, try taking your own photo that is "inspired by" instead on just stealing it. (and yes, copyright infringement is akin to theft!)

Hi all!

Thanks so much for all the wonderful comments on our home. I wanted to get back to those of you with questions.

The paint in the bedroom is Ralph Lauren's Modern Loft. We painted the living room/dining room 3 yrs ago, so I don't have the exact color anymore. The paint in the hallway & nursery is Valspar's North Beach.

The floor fan is from Restoration Hardware.

The mint jeans are Zara.

The "cool thing" by the bathtub is a banana leaf basket (for laundry) that I bought at Ikea.

Thank you for all your concerns regarding the leaning mirrors and baby, they are all anchored into the wall.

The teepee is from Houseinhabit on etsy.

@JCBD: First, as someone who "supports themselves by taking photographs" (i.e. a photographer), I'm sorry...you're right. I should have been more thoughtful when saying the image was "found online" as opposed to saying it was obtained legally. And second, I'm completely fine saying that a $3,500 framing job is just a tad ridiculous, especially when I can do it myself. Thanks for your concern though.

1st rule of the internet - haters gotta hate. The rest of us are having happy fulfilling lives with our dogs, bare feet and bottoms, chopped liver, and moose-skin chairpads.

Thanks for asking, though. ;o)

@Erinbr: Sorry, but 'obtained legally' is even more vague than 'found online'. Surely the owner of the image would not allow it to appear online with no watermark? My initial understanding of 'DIY' was that you perhaps purchased the unframed photos from the gallery online, and framed them yourself?

@Thorndale. Thanks, that is very surprising. It is a grey area, and raises the question as to ownership of images people post on image sharing sites - if you don't bother to watermark them, or do not own that particular software, does that mean your images are public property?

I love the shelving in the dining room! Is there a source or are they DIY? (Any hints for DIY-ing those?)

I LOVE the craftman details. The huge mirror / toddler combo freaks me out a little but thats probably my own mamma paranoia. Thanks for sharing....you have a beautiful family!

Right so your apartment is fab... and with a baby too... my apartment looks like a bomb has hit it since I had the little one (four weeks old this week...) I think I will go clean up now!

I forgot to reply to the questions about the shelving in the dining room. They are built-ins from when they apartment was originally built.

@MRS T IN JERSEY: congratulations! and you're are allowed a messy apartment, you have a newborn. in fact, someone else should be cleaning it up...not you :)

Very nice and inviting! Beautiful Babies (both the human baby and the fur baby)!

Here I was preparing myself for our resident nutbags to blow up about the wigwam, and instead they're banging on about mirrors and shoes. I am very disappointed!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! Just gorgeous - love everything about it, you've done a fabulous job. Can I ask where online you sourced the diver image (as per photographic artwork in entry)????

Copyright laws are only enforcible when the infringing product is causing financial loss to the artist by unauthorized production or distribution of said work. You can print a picture off the internet and use it in your home without issue. She isn't selling this to people or saying she took the picture.
As long as she credits the artist or source of the image, its fine.
It's pretty much the same as if she found a poster out on a curb, framed it and hung it in her home. She isn't going to be sued by the artist.

@erinbr Thank you for clarifying that the image was obtained legally. I do wish credit would have been given to the artist or source of the image, as it is a fantastic photo. I do appreciate that it was not just found and printed without obtaining the rights to do so.

@AnnickaJ It is actually still illegal to print and display in your home without properly paying for it, or finding it on a royalty free site. The financial loss in this example is the loss of the sale of that particular print. Printing it on your own without licensing the image is unauthorized production. Most artists would not really take issue and certainly would not sue. In most cases, the amount that they would be able to sue for would not be worth the amount that a lawsuit would cost. The difference in this verses finding a poster on the street, is that the artist that created the work on the poster was compensated for that poster when it was printed if it was printed by a distributor, or at the original sale, if it was printed by the artist.

@pearmelon That is a great question. An artist does not have to watermark an image to own the copyright. There are a couple ways to go about it, but the best, and most legally defendable way to copyright your art is to register it with the US Copyright Office. We register our work in bulk twice a year. So, that, if there was ever a case were a company used our image without licensing it with us, we could easily take legal action. Photographers usually use watermarks, certainly to discourage people copying or printing their images without permission. But, more to just get their name out there. They want people to know that this great image was taken by them, so they put their name on it. Just like a painter would sign their painting.

I am definitely not hating on anyone. I know that there is a lack of information out there, and with the ease of sharing photos online these days, it is often hard to find the original source. I am happy to find out that the resource listed in the article was merely misleading, and not an indication that this artist was ripped of in any way.

nice

You all are a gorgeous couple with a darling little baby! I love the home- everything is clean and crisp- great taste! I really do hope that when your little one starts climbing that the mirrors and large frames are bolted to the wall. Babies are stronger than you might think. Just a thought from one baby proofer to another. btw, i'm in love with all of the wall colors you chose!

not only do i adore your home but i also love that Brother Bear has an easy walker!

I was hoping Erin could share how she created the number DIY posters? I've been trying over and over and am having a ton of difficulty. Thanks so much!!

A lovely home, thank you for sharing! I must say I love the idea of the DIY number paintings. I have been searching for some similar style stencils around various craft stores and have been unlucky so far. Do you mind sharing where you purchased the number stencils or a little more info on how you created the art, size of canvas, etc? Thank you!

I love this house! I am actually about to order the Souk rug and a RH couch. I had a couple of questions I hoped Rob or Erin could answer. 1. How has the Souk rug held up? Is it soft, does it shed? 2. We are thinking of getting a RH couch in that fabric (looks like the Belgian Linen in Sand) how has it held up with a baby/pet?

Again, love love your style!

Thanks so much!
