The coffee table is a find from the Alameda Point Antiques Faire, also known as the Alameda flea market, four years ago from an artist who refurbishes wood into new furniture. “I saw him just last month at the same stall at the flea market and we chatted about how wonderfully his piece has held up,” she says. “The wood is beautiful and really makes the piece one of a kind.”
Easy fix: Remove or cover up popcorn ceilings. Not much dates a house like the lumpy, bumpy texture of a popcorn ceiling. Thankfully, fixing it isn’t too complicated, and you’ll soon have a nice, smooth ceiling. The most common method is simply scraping it off, but if there’s any chance that lead and-or asbestos might be present in the paint or the popcorn material itself, you’ll need to cover it up with drywall instead

How to Care for Your Kentia Palm Temperature: 50 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit (10 to 20 degrees Celsius) is ideal. Light: It prefers areas with partial shade, not full sun. It will tolerate a somewhat dark corner indoors. Water: Water only when the uppermost soil layer is dry. Mist the plant to simulate humidity and to prevent spider mite infestation, which can occur with dust buildup. Overwatering will cause root rot, and underwatering can cause yellow tips that will turn to brown. If the stalks and leaves are not standing upright, as they should, try a deep watering, assuming there is sufficient drainage. Soil: Sandy with good drainage, though Kentia is adaptable to a variety of soil conditions. Because the plant is very slow growing, you will most likely keep it in the same container for many years. Replace old, spent soil (above the root ball) occasionally. Feeding: Apply an 18-18-18 slow-release specialized palm fertilizer according to the package instructions once or twice a year, in the summer and spring. General: Avoid repotting, though if it’s necessary, be very cautious when handling the root ball. The Kentia is a slow-growing palm with fragile roots.

The hardwood floors, which were exposed when the couple purchased the home, were drum sanded and given a clear coat of rubberized epoxy to create a durable finish that stands up to heavy foot and pet traffic. The total cost of refinishing the floors in the living and dining rooms was around $1,200.
Nice design ...picture was ugly so the owner dripped white paint over it making it more abstract.
Paneling still looks good.

Ledgestone. This sleek floor-to-ceiling fireplace is constructed from one of the most popular materials currently on the market. Small strips of stone are applied vertically to look like tiny ledges, creating a soft contemporary feel.
Steel. An entire fireplace wall clad in steel has a commanding presence. The industrial feel goes hand in hand with minimalism for those who love the less-is-more look. Design idea: Applying texture to this common material during fabrication ensures a unique visual depth.

Details you can pick up between different pieces include color, material (such as the general type of upholstery or a metal finish), tufting or pleats, leg styles, straight versus rounded lines, and design period. Using a few of these connections will help pieces relate, so you can be confident that they coordinate
