Name: Allison Schmidt Location: Culver City, California Tom and I met in art school, fell in love, bought our home and have been remodeling it ever since. We decided to add a second story and turn a basic 1952 bungalow into our version of a craftsman home. And we decided we could do it ourselves.

It’s my most favorite place in the whole world. But as an introvert, my home can sometimes be more than just a retreat.
