The Radziner-Cottle home in Venice California was recently featured in The New York Times Magazine and we found it very inspirational. Though the house is large, the abundance of large windows and similar finishes unite the space and achieve a cohesive, warm presence. Walnut is used for the cabinets and ceiling of the sunken kitchen (above) and also as the built-in storage in the children's rooms...

Ron Radziner is an architect and partner in the firm, Marmol Radziner & Associates. Many of the cabinets, metalwork and furniture were fabricated by the firm. His wife, Robin Cottle is a graphic designer. For the complete story: Better Home and Garden and all the photos in the slideshow, see The New York Times Magazine.

Absolutely love your home. Can you tell me the brand name of the paint and the color used in your living room area (the yellow).
