For a Cool $8.9 M…

This could be yours.  Check out the San Francisco pad of One King’s Lane Co-Founder Ali Pincus and her husband (the man behind FarmVille and Mafia Wars), Mark Pincus.
 Beautifully Manicured.
 Loving how bright and cheery the kitchen is.. Didn’t love the yellow tiles at first, but they are growing on me.
 My favorite room of all– the foyer.  Oye….
 Would like to infuse a little more character into the dining room.
 I could take a soak in that Master Bath.
 Love it.
 Wine anyone?
 I would like to change a few things about this room.. starting with the apricot color on the walls… then the chandy.
 The guest bath is pretty simple.  Not to mention pretty awesome.  I would love to paint that trim around the windows black!
 I would love to girl this room up too.  What great bones.  Loving that window seat.
Look at that view, are you freaking kidding?
Yeah, I’d take it.

A Spotty Weekend.

Our living room is virtually empty after Craig’s Listers came and bought our old furniture.

I have spent the last two weekends working on a pair of  DIY Rast dressers for the living room.  After buying a cart full of paint and primer at the Depot, it was time to get started.

See that little Spray Grip in the cart?  Best $2.95 I ever spent.  Last weekend was all about priming.

Every.  Little.  Piece.
This weekend, I froze my a$$ off painting them in the garage.  I hope it wasn’t all in vein.  Due to the cold temperatures, I am afraid the paint job is a little spotty. They still need a few more coats, but I either need to wait until it warms up or get an industrial space heater.  The paint should dry clear and smooth in warmer temperatures.  Keeping my fingers crossed on that one.

In happier news, I received my agate magnets that were on backorder since Christmas.  I can’t wait to show you all what I have in store for them!

Pink and Red.

Using this scarf as inspiration for the design of our guest room, I have pink and red on my mind as of late.  The good news is that color combo couldn’t be any hotter right now.  I am loving this trend, and it’s just in time for Valnetine’s Day.

Here are some of my favorite items in this color combo:
