I think the living room is a fun and warm room. I can see why you enjoy your living room. I bet at Christmas time it is beautiful.

Thanks Judy! The holidays are a fun time in this room. One year we emptied out all of the furniture and put together a kings table. 35 sat around one giant table for Thanksgiving. It was great! I might try that again this year!

Sunday #4

I had brunch with a friend a while back at the California Cafe in Los Gatos. Had the best crab melt ever! I’ve re-created them for my family. And everyone—well, almost everyone loves them. I only changed the bread California Cafe’s version uses brioche. I use sweet french bread. I’ve even used this recipe as [...]

Small Bathroom Remodel: We Need Help!

Ever since my husband took the sledgehammer to the shower eight years ago, the rest of the master bathroom has, like an unhappy housewife, “let herself go.” It’s time for a makeover. We need your ideas!

Kids Room Remodel Starts with Paint

We did it finally – we rearranged our tiny 2 bedroom house + office into a 3 bedroom home. Yes, that means the kids have their own rooms and I lost the extra office. Well actually, my husband lost his office and I gained a roomie in my garage office. Grrr… It was time. My [...]

The french doors on either side open to the front or back of the home. Love those draperies in the [...]

The living and dining room draperies reminded me of elegant ballgowns. But this home felt warm and relaxed not stuffy. The kitchen is spectacular and opens to a great family [...]

Just Listed: Saratoga Dreamin'

As I wound my way up to the top of Bohlman Road, I have to admit my stomach was filled with butterflies. No the drive wasn’t sending my tummy into aerobatics, but the anticipation of what this home was going to look like. I mean 10 acres in the Saratoga Hills. What was this gonna [...]

Ok, I admit it—I’m a city girl. I love the outdoors. It’s just after a day hiking all I want is a really hot shower and a comfy bed when it’s all said and done. Well, this city girl was ready to trade her heels in for cowboy boots this past week. I do own [...]

Can you believe the views??? Nestled at the top of Loma Prieta this home has the most wonderful views. Usually, up in the Los Gatos hills you find yourself in deep shade most of the day—not here. You will find plenty of sunshine and to sweeten the deal lots of flat usable land! You can [...]
