Cleverly designed, the pool house doubles as a shed and workshop on one side of the building. Raymond saved the shed doors from a job that he had gotten tearing down an old barn. The doors allow the entire front of the shed to open up, while their rustic finish carries on the aesthetic of the rest of the yard. Jennifer's 1963 International Harvester is another great score, and seemed almost meant to be. Found on Ebay, the truck came to her after deals on other vehicles fell through. "All of a sudden this truck was for sale on Ebay, and it was on my street a few houses away; I couldn't believe it," says Jennifer. Although she was initially outbid for the truck, the day after the auction she was notified that the winner had forfeited the sale, "So I am the lucky owner of 'Harvey'", she says with a smile.

This beautiful kitchen was designed by Casa di Aria in San Francisco, The 100-year old reclaimed barn wood flooring is from a farm in Kentucky and stops those who step into this wonderful urban farmhouse in their tracks. Drenched in character, this kitchen is simply gorgeous to look at. The classic Shaw Original Farmhouse sink sits next to the family room, When you wash dishes in this beautiful vessel, you are looking out towards a giant picture window towards an enormous California Redwood tree. The Calcutta Oro marble counter top is itself a work of art. The custom cabinetry has subtle variations in the details like chicken wire under the sink, flat drawers on the top and shaker style on the bottom with different knobs from Restoration Hardware. The glass-front doors in the upper cabinets reveal beautiful dishes with pale green and blue tones reflecting the colors of the soothing pastel by artist, Kelly McCarthy. The Walker Zanger glass backsplash tile looks like mother of pearl and reflects light and color all day long. The kitchen island was custom designed and built with reclaimed wood from Northern California. The library light is from Circa Lighting. The vintage hanging fruit basket is from the Alameda Flea Market. This kitchen is full of intricate details all of which combined make it a showcase room in this wonderful, eclectic home.

The essence of Mediterranean living means living inside and out. You don't have a garden as much as much as you have a collection of rooms inside and outside of a fixed structure. Following the architecture set by the home, the exterior spaces look and feel seamless. Photo Credit: Catherine E Smith, Casa Smith Designs, LLC
