The house itself was designed by famed local architect Michael Hsu, and the home's decor furnished by the hip local furniture store Threshold. Yates' pieces fit right in with the styles of both Hsu and Threshold.

For more information about these pieces and those involved, visit the websites of Michael Yates, Threshold and Michael Hsu.
