apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

wooowwww.

I have seen bits and pieces of the apt in other places but the whole house tour??

beauitful & elegance & style all at once....

thanks for sharing your house photos with us

My favorite House Tour ever! I am going home & polishing my silver tonight!

Love the bath. folks always complaining about what to do with "awful" colored fixtures, how to camouflage /refinish/cover/demolish/jackhammer/ the pink toilet. nice to see someone embrace the colors.

yeah, i loved the bath too-- so cute that they drew a bubblebath!

I love it all, but especially the bathroom!

I adore the bathroom--I WANT that jadeite-green tub and sink!

When can I stay overnight?
If I were a guest sleeping in that guestroom I would feel extra special!

Master bedroom rug- I want it! So glad to see someone else with bathroom fixtures the same color as mine!

woah. wow.

i'm a minimalist, mcm sort but even that's gorgeous.

Thank you all for your wonderful comments! I thought I'd pass along some of the source information. The master bedroom rug is from the Thomas Paul Collection. It's the damask tufted pile rug and it's a size 8" by 11." They carry them at Velocityartanddesign.com. I just love the Thomas Paul rugs. They have such great designs and are very plush...great quality, worth the investment. The black and white just makes the room come alive. The blue paint in the bedroom is Benjamin Moore's Blue Bonnet Regal Matte Finish. Thanks again for viewing and thanks Grace for putting the tour on!

Totally not my taste -- but I'd still love to stay there! Owners have a great eye for detail & ability to put things together. And that silver collection -- to die for.
Thank you for letting us into your home!

Scuse me whilst I cry with envy!

Oh my eyes have turned green, what a wonderful place. As someone with no design background or learning, this gives me hope!!!

And how fabulous that you drew a bath for the tour!

This is such a beautiful home! It's like a time capsule - but much better. I wish I had this sort of eye for detail and furniture. It must be so fun to just sit around and say "I live here".

Fabulous home! Thank you so much for sharing.

You have a beautiful home!

I was wondering about the SF bus roll sign - is that a piece of the actual roll sign, or a reproduction of one? It's awesome.

Thank you Ace! That's a a piece of an actual rollsign from about the 1940's.

It's all so chic and elegant and beautiful! I love the architecture of the house, that bathroom is AMAZING!!!!

Congratulations on such a gorgeous home!

I love the home--not a surprise because I'm a big fan of the website but it must be difficult to keep all that hotel silver polished.

I love love love this home!!! so beautiful. And extremely jealous of the antique french crown collection!

I know! The antique crown collection - OMG!!! AND the carving station... The whole abode is so sumptuous and gracious. I am so in love with your place, may I please be reincarnated as your next pet? I'll need a fancy collar, antique silver food dishes... In lieu of that, may I just wear a beautiful dress, gloves, hat, etc. and pose with a glass of Dom for a picture? In the immortal words of Jack Nicholson in As Good As It Gets, "I'M DYING HERE!"

FINALLY....Someting I can sink my teeth into on AT!

Stunning!

This is just wild and wonderful all over itself. I think it's especially kicky that you have a "collection" of French crowns, instead of say, one, like most of us have? Hee hee hee!

But seriously... I'm so glad you've kept your yellow and green bathroom fixtures and tile, because they're just delicious.

I'm speechless... stunning!

There is at least one thing in each room that keeps this from being too-too. Nicely done, beautifully photographed.

But I sooooo want to swap the black leather chairs with the other wood-framed ones in the living room!

The most beautiful home I have seen.

How refreshing to see a home where there are beautiful objects to look at with no regard for al of the cold modern approach to decorating.

I LOVE it

Wow! I especially love your gorgeous bathroom. The color is amazing. And your various collections add real personality and panache.

Thank you for sharing!

Aww! What a cute little dog! I want one!

The dog is the first thing that caught my eye! Adorable!

The rest, gorgeous!

Love the house! Any advice on where I can find a mirrored cabinet like the one in the bathroom?

Just one word sums it up: FLAIR!

Just look at that living room... wow.

I am a minimalist/modern kinda girl but . . . wow. I loved this tour. I probably won't become a collector of much but art and books, but loved her various collections and how she displayed them. Artful.

Lynn has such a beautiful home - just as sweet as the owner herself. Impeccable taste.

What an absolutely beautiful home! This is just the sort of place I like. It fits like a kid glove.

how amazing, what a gorgeous home. you have a very good eye and good taste.

hmmmmm, not 'loving' it...... I think you've been reading too much home & garden /country living/50% (....inching towards 60%) of elle decor.......you might want to pick up some italian or british design mags....Farley's on Portrero Hill has 'em.
I think if you threw in a few modern pieces, edited some of the 'decoration' and went a little more bold on the gold/white stuff...... it would be a super cool space....you're 75% there.
A few shiny black pieces, a big abstract painting, and 1 modern chai rin the living room ....now....that would look cool.

But good job though really ......I know how hard it is to get it all done. And...... we are here to help each other after all. The contest is really...just all in your mind

I agree with last post. You have wonderful taste, but it would look AWESOME if you threw in something modern for the unexpected like some modern art or a mod chair in the living room. ..Its the ying and yang thing.

NO -- no modern. Throwing something modern in would totally destroy what is cool about this.

Keep the abstract paintings and the shiny black whatever far away.

This is so beautiful and put together it makes me sick! Good job.

Fabulous! This isn't my personal style but I LOVE it. So put together and interesting.

I really love this, everything is so interesting to take in.

The elegance is breathtaking. I totally love each and every view. I also agree with the poster who applauded you for embracing the bathroom color rather than changing it. I hope pictures like these will bring great color back to bathroom appliances. The white is getting so very boring.

(really cute dog!)
