Remember this cool address from my previous post,
Well, it belongs to this house.
You are probably wondering what makes this house so exciting.
has recently undergone a complete renovation from top to bottom by a "green" contractor, (more on that later)
and that my friend Lisa, the interior designer whose home I recently did a series of posts on, has been hired by the new owner to decorate it.
LWhat makes all of that incredibly exciting for me is...
that I get to collaborate in the design process.
I am Lisa's "go to" source for those one of a kind pieces and accessories that bring a design scheme to life.
The owner has graciously agreed to let us document the design evolution of his charming abode.
This is the backyard...
which came with a "ready to harvest" vegetable garden!
Now that is a forward thinking contractor. That would have sealed the deal for me!
I love how they've used this old cement utility sink as an herb planter. I imagine it probably came from the basement.
Let's go inside shall we?
The small, yet formal entry.
The WOW
Looking back from the main living space to the entry.
The gorgeous Dining Room
Does it get any better?
Let's go into the kitchen...
Complete with vintage stove, period cabinets, linoleum floor, modern "green" sustainable bamboo counter tops with green glass subway tile back splash.
Immediately beyond the kitchen lies a space for an eating nook with built in benches. Off to the left (which you can't see in this photo) is a matching built-in cabinet to house the washer & dryer. The french door leads to the backyard.
Lisa plans to add a round table and custom cushions to this lovely nook.
There are 2 bedrooms and 1 bath.
OK, I'm smitten... how about you?
I adore absolutely everything about this house, most of all it's size and floor plan. I can't wait to begin this project with Lisa. This house and my treasures are a match made in heaven! I hope you'll follow along with us as we make this house into a home... room by room!
Check out the progress over at Il Tuo Tesoro.

Oh Wow Terri, I got all tingly reading this post, like when I travel abroad to a new country and I can just feel that things are different. I just love these pictures, I'm so excited about your project. I love the way the house is left freshly painted and impeccable, is that always the way in the states?
I'm so looking forward to watching you two do this up.

Terri, I am in love with this style of home a 1940s bungalow with all the charm of its built ins and that stove is just like my very first stove that I unfortunately sold because I would so have it in my kitchen today, if only I knew then what I know now~!! What a wonderful collaboration, I can hardly wait to see it all unfold, I am soooo excited!!!! Hugs Kathysue
How charming - you are going to have such fun! (and so are we, following it!)
Teri, YOU are going to have so much fun! can't wait to see what treasures you add. looking forward to lots of details and photos!
That's just about the most exciting thing I've read in blogworld all week Terri! Can't wait to see how it all comes together, because it's certainly a beautiful home and I'd move there in a flash!
Just beautiful....just love this style!
I am smitten too with this house. Nothing like a California Bungalow! So many houses just like that here in Burlingame also. Can't wait to see what you and Lisa do with it. What a great palette. Would love to come see the finished home in person!
What a darling bungalow. It will be a dream to decorate. I love all the things they did to it. I absolutely adore that vintage stove and so wish I had one in my own home. Someday....I will. I can't wait to see all that you do to this home.
Dear La Dolfina,
What am I going to do if you make this home even more cooler than our own home? ....lol...can't wait to see it. You and Lisa will create something remarkable I am sure.
Love,
Chris
Yep I like it, like it. I'm looking forward to seeing your treasures in it.
... OOOZ-ING with charm and all of the funnnnnn things you will add!
You'd better be getting the camera ready for round two ... the afters!
Oh my this is amazingly beautiful..I adore the colours. Have fun! I know you will. xoxo
You are sooooo right, this house is wonderful. Send more photos as you progress, please!
When I saw the living room with the fireplace, I realized that it reminds me of the house I have in my mind that I eventually want to have someday. A nice, little beachy bungalow with bright walls, happy ocean colors & lots of light!
Thank you for sharing & reminding me to hang on to that dream! :)
The house is darling! Your role sounds exciting, picking out all the unique accessories! Looking forward to reading more of the process!
What an amazing CANVAS for
you to work your magic with
Lisa, Terri! I love the
more modern fixtures mixed
with the classic elements
of this little jewel of a
home. Can't wait to see what
you add....!
