Hi John, I put you as my favorite (you will see when they post my entry). I love the shot of the plants--japanese maples and plum trees, beautiful!

Is that some kind of "murphy bed"? How does it work?

It looks like the built in spins 180 degrees and then the bed folds out. If so, that is way cool.

Loving the bed set up...would love to see it in action. Second round pics are fabulous!

Hey! I have that same bust of Lenin. We put a little Santa hat on him at Christmas just to make him spin in the tomb on Red Square.

Love this place!

Oh yes and I want your kitchen!

Ummm can I come over for dinner... the place is great and all but what was that lovely pie thing???

Ha! I also said "ohhh snax!"
I want your bay-shaped built-in hutch and super cool looking hide-a-bed.

I live in the Fremont neighboorhood of Seattle, we have a BIIIIG statue of Lenin in the town square and he gets a red star w/red x-mas lights to tranform him into a tree shape every year.
In April someone made him a purple and green scarf, i thought it needed mittens.

Woah. Super cool china cabinet/hide a bed. never seen anything that cool before.

But I guess you have to scoot the couch out of the way to use it?

Makes me hungry. When's the party?

Love the spinning-secret-wall-cabinet-murphy-bed.

win!

I don't remember seeing this entry, but WOW! Very nice!

it seems like such a crock that san francisco is listed as the northwest.

Wow...venetian plaster for miles and miles...my arms get tired just looking at it....And Lenin is the perfect accent for all that red.

love the color scheme

I wish I could be as enthusiastic as everyone else but IMHO your place looks great because of its bones, not what you've done with it. Further, if you're keeping a fridge in the garage, you should be counting that space too! Maybe it's b/c I'm a NYer, but it just seems like you're cheating to me.
