Where did you get the Portland placemats? They are great!

Beautiful home. Love the quirky details and pops of color. Incidentally, does anyone else think Jamie looks a little like Ginnifer Goodwin?

BEAUTIFUL HOME! This is almost EXACTLY how I want mine to look... get out of my head!! My mother does the same thing; something old, something new... and I've grown to love that. I can't wait to get settled down and do the same thing. Thank you for showing your home.

Cute pups too!! Love the name Penelope!

OMG FAGA BEEFE! It's been a long time.

I love this home. It has the perfect blend of coziness and stylishness. It's neat and tidy without feeling cold. I want my future home to be just like this.

This is an absolutely beautiful place, I love that organic modern vibe. I have to say though.. you work for EA and there wasn't a single video game console under that tv? :)

what size rug is in your master?

This house is sheer perfection! Love it!

i have a big ole crush on the bedroom white washed wall.
i live in an small old austin home and have been thinking about painting our bedroom white but thought it may be too stark. a wall of white washed wood would fit much better with our cozy feeling.

any suggestions for where to get tips on actually succeeding in this diy project? well done jamie.

pretty + light + airy + colorful + tidy

I'd love to live in a home like that if I bought a home!

One of my favorite photos is of the bench in the hallway upstairs - with the books under it...taking a space some might overlook - and making it a cute focal point.

Well done!

I love that bench + books photo, and the whitewashed wall. Gorgeous!

Also, kissing puppies? Precious.

Lovely home! I think you've done a wonderful job de-tracting it! Your "wood wall" is so coo! I also love to see a sectional on a house tour. Yes - people own sectionals! And they can be cute! (I clearly own one). I think my favorite thing is your guest bed. Wowza! Thanks for sharing!

Amazing!! You've done a wonderful job of making the house your own. And I LOVE the Whitney Lejeune painting!! After I saw yours I went to her website and now I'm a huge fan. What dimensions is the one you have? I'm on a mission to own one and the size of yours looks great!

"De-tracting" like that!

Love the pups, amongst other things.

I also hereby summon the anti-taxidermy brigade.

"Duhhhh...Fagabeefe?"

Lovely home. Feels very detailed but not cluttered. Just right. Also kudos for such a lovely guest room. Mine has morphed into a closet. What are the floors on the main level. Concrete? Is it the subfloor or poured concrete? Great touch. And your four legged roommates are adorable!

Oh Jamie, how awesome! I definitely agree with the "detailed but not cluttered" comment. I love how your house overall is very neutral, but you have pops of color in your accessories so everything seems very calm but not at all boring. I want your bethroom kilim pillow and skull over the bed, and maybe a dog.... please!?

Wonderful bright cheery home. I wouldn't change a thing ! Love that sunny kitchen and the dogs are adorable. You've done a great job de-tracting, it looks very homey and real. The textiles are very nice. lots of eyecatching touches.

I like the reading nook.

if the tattooed hottie needs a place to crash visiting brooklyn...

I'd appreciate knowing about the floor on the main level, too. If it is concrete, what kind of finish was specified? How do you care for it? Would you get concrete again? Thank you!

I've been in Jamie's home and the photos are gorgeous and really capture the incredible design sense she has. Her design is always an inspiration for me and my own home. The selection of pieces are carefully chosen and mean a lot to her.

The fact that both Jamie and Apartment Therapy were onboard with the FAGABEEFE reference just confirms that this has been and always will be my favorite website as well as design resource.

Ooh, lovely.

'Detailed but not cluttered' is exactly the look I'm going for in my own place. Hate clutter, love detail. Just wish I was doing it as well as Jamie is!

Somehow the world seems right again with all of the peoples being happy about FAGABEEFE. Excuse me whilst I go back to looking between the two giant melons. Great place BTW.

What a sweet house! I love the minimalist look but the colors and textures really make it feel warm and cozy. The doggie with the different colored eyes (heterochromia?) is adorable and the picture with the kissing pooches is so cute. I really liked the pictures of Jamie being herself in the house - cooking, putting on her earrings, holding her dog. It really gives you a sense of who the person is, which makes the experience of seeing how they decorated their home even better. Wonderful pictures by the photographer!

Thanks for the comments everyone!

To answer some of your questions:

The placemats and napkins are from Nell & Mary - I purchased them at the Renegade Craft Fair here in Austin.

I BELIEVE the size of the rug in the master is a 9 x 12.

Regarding the wood wall, I posted a semi-tutorial here: http://www.leachstreet.com/homepage/2011/5/14/renovation-staycation.html

I would recommend buying cedar fencing, cutting the tops off, and creating a pattern (lay it out on the ground first after youve calculated the pieces you need). I used roofing nails and used a stud finder to make sure I was hammering directly into the studs. Then I did a few coats of whitewashing - basically just take your white paint and dilute it a bit with water. Then use a sponge or rag to wipe it on. The wood will start to soak up the water, so you will need to let it dry and then apply another coat or two.

The flooring downstairs is concrete, and even though it is gray, it is stained. I'm not sure what they put on it exactly, but it definitely gives it character. It was this way when I moved in.

Oh, and I do work at EA, but not on games, hence the lack of consoles ;)

Love the master bedroom! What paint color did you use?? So peaceful. Thanks

i like the master bedroom design. it's so cozy, white, clean, simple.
i like the books on the floor.
i like the use of whatever-you-call-it wooden plank. so simple, clean. yet stylish.

any man would be proud to have as their partner :)

EDIT: you*

You win. Not only is your home a perfect balance between form and function, design and livability, it seems to translate to (or be inspired by?) your personal style. Love your clothes and your hair. You basically live a magazine life 24/7. Too cute!

wow... blown away. my dream home right here!

Nice home and cute pups, but so wish the dead-animal artifact trend would go away.

I love this. I love all of her chairs- the green one in the living room, etc.

I really love the wood paneling on the wall of the bedroom. I want to do something similar to define a dining space in the open concept living/dining/office space in my apartment. Is is flooring?

Great home you have there. I kid you not, my living room in my old place used to look eerily similar. I like all of the quirky touches. I also like the wall color in the guest room. I've been looking for a color like that. Do you remember what brand and color? If so, do you mind sharing, please? :)

you had me at fagabeefee
