Reader's home - Lucy's four walls and a roof

This reader's home belongs to Lucy, and here's what she had to say about it: We've been living in this house for 5 years. It had lots of, shall we say, 'deferred maintenance' when we moved in - all hidden under layers of cream paint. It's gone from being a vanilla ice-cream-colored box filled with IKEA furniture that we bought in a single weekend (long story - we moved from England and had to start from scratch) through the arrival of our two kids, countless variations of layout and wall color, to finally becoming a family home. I blogged about the process (and other design dilemmas) at fourwallsandaroof.com. The most newly remodelled part of the house is the kitchen, powder room, dining room and family room. Love the mid-century vibe in the newly done rooms. Great job Lucy! (Some photos by Chris Gaede)

Beautiful! I would really love to know where the beige sectional in the first photograph came from.

Looks really good.

You have some amazing lighting!

Where are the white pillowcases from? (That's a real question, they're perfect). And the beige sectional too. Lovely!

Love the light fixture in the dining area, and the powder room. Pretty.

Love this house and how it evolved. The kitchen and dining areas are my favourite- very modern and serene.

Love the way the floral feature wallpaper is echoed in the picture frame in the last bedroom. I also love the nursery really lovely and fresh.

Awesome kitchen, congrats.

Thank you so much for the kind comments.

Molly and Cate - the sectional is from Bimma Loft in San Francisco.
Cate - the pillowcases are from Bed, Bath and Beyond I believe. They'r e ancient but have held up well!

It's beautiful but I wouldn't want to be a kid in this house. Sorry.
