sneak peek: see jane work

seejane1.jpg
today’s second sneak peek comes to us from kelly osborne of see jane work. located 45 minutes north of l.a., it’s home to kelly, her husband jeremy and their two kids, george (4) and charlie (2), along with their twelve chickens (believe it or not, it’s not the only sneak peek with chickens!). when they first moved in the place was a dump and took a year to remodel - impressive turn-around, wouldn’t you say ?!? [thanks so much, kelly!] -anne

Jen said:
September 22nd, 2008 - 1:45 pm

Jackie said:

Kelli said:
September 22nd, 2008 - 2:12 pm

What a beautiful home and rich source of inspiration! My hubby and I moved this past January into a house built in 1948. Needless to say, there is much work to be done! Amazing to see what can be completed in only 1 year. Thanks for the inspiration!

maggie said:
September 22nd, 2008 - 2:19 pm

oh my. that bathroom is unreal.

I do like laundry in the kitchen—good for multitasking! Though possibly noisy.

j. said:
September 22nd, 2008 - 2:25 pm

LOVE this house! I live in Ventura County as well and keep meaning to pop by See Jane Work. LOVELY home as well! Especially the soft grey kitchen.

Kathlyn said:
September 22nd, 2008 - 2:56 pm

Wow! I will buy it! :) I was also wondering if you might have any great ideas for nurseries? I am having a design block and would love any input!

carrie said:
September 22nd, 2008 - 3:00 pm

Fabulous. Would love to know the color of the brownish-gray paint in the living room.

Katie said:
September 22nd, 2008 - 3:06 pm

WHERE are the chickens?!

Dee Young said:
September 22nd, 2008 - 3:16 pm

Could you please get the name of the kitchen paint? It’s lovely.

September 22nd, 2008 - 3:30 pm

I wanted to comment on the gorgeousness of that bathroom, and then I realized that everybody else did as well. I love the odd numbers above the kitchen sink, too!

Renee said:
September 22nd, 2008 - 3:33 pm

These are so inspirational! I love the colors and the simplicity. That’s how I like to have my living space and design my client’s websites! :)

Thanks for sharing!

Judith said:
September 22nd, 2008 - 4:03 pm

Chickens, please.
(But the house is great too.)

Abby said:
September 22nd, 2008 - 4:29 pm

Love the bathroom. In one shot, it looks like a mirror is reflecting an interesting painting or poster…is it a marimekko? And/or where can I get it?

Kristan said:
September 22nd, 2008 - 4:37 pm

Oh my god. I ADORE this house. Especially as I am currently spazzing about purchasing items from Craigslist this week in a half-@$$ed attempt to redecorate my condo, this just makes me go, WOW, you CAN have an awesome home.

To be honest, the blue bathrooms are a bit much for me, but the rest is absolutely. to. die. for.

skye said:
September 22nd, 2008 - 4:38 pm

truly invigorating. seems as though so much can be accomplished in these spaces.

September 22nd, 2008 - 4:54 pm

Oh wow! I am just speechless. That is one gorgeous house!

Jenny said:
September 22nd, 2008 - 4:55 pm

Ellen said:

Lovely home and excellent palette. Can you share source for lighting fixture in the dining room? Many thanks.

sharine said:
September 22nd, 2008 - 10:16 pm

BATHROOM! I’m sleeping in there tonight.

September 22nd, 2008 - 10:54 pm

I would like that orange rug in the kitchen, please. Thank you.

September 23rd, 2008 - 12:27 am

Don’t you just love that bathroom? I could stay in there aaaalllll day. Thanks for showing it, just gorgeous.

Diana said:
September 23rd, 2008 - 2:36 am

Where did you get the giant ruler?

Stacy said:
September 23rd, 2008 - 5:49 am

Wow. That looks like a show home. Gorgeous! How she keeps those white sofas and chairs clean with kids is a mystery, however! :-) BTW, It looks to me like the laundry is in a “butler’s pantry” not in the kitchen proper….

September 23rd, 2008 - 7:40 am

That bath looks so inviting :)

Erica said:
September 23rd, 2008 - 7:51 am

Wow! Love that bathroom.

September 23rd, 2008 - 8:36 am

wow!so beautiful and.. i love the kitchen and tohse numbers on the wall

September 23rd, 2008 - 9:48 am

Stunning! I love it! I would love to know the living, dining and cabinet paint colors, they all work so well together.

Norine said:
September 23rd, 2008 - 10:25 am

Wow! It was kind of spooky (in a good way) to look at pictures of this home and see all the things I have been thinking about buying. And a few more that I have been looking for desperately! In the living room - the faux bois lampshade — I NEED that. Also in the great last picture — the plates with the power line across that - I NEED that. Any hints where to get?

lucy said:
September 23rd, 2008 - 10:45 am

i think the plates used to be at anthropologie?

Lynn said:
September 23rd, 2008 - 10:56 am

I’m into my own renovation right now and this so looks like what I’ve been aiming for. I love the midcentury modern lighting with the friendliness of cottage style furnishings. Terrific colors, terrific style, updated for sure, without being ridiculously edgy! Great-Great-Great!!

Jill said:
September 23rd, 2008 - 11:22 am

I believe the plates are from Rosanna’s “Party Raffle” line–I have the matching wine glasses–but it looks like the line is discontinued.

Jill said:
September 23rd, 2008 - 11:23 am

(Sorry–I mean the number plates, not the power line plates.)

Anna said:
September 23rd, 2008 - 12:18 pm

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this sneak peak. my favorite sneak peak so far!

Lauren said:
September 23rd, 2008 - 12:36 pm

Yes the bathroom is fantastic, but I am positively FIXATED on the orange rug/mat in the kitchen. When I first saw it I thought it was a custom screenprinted gel pro mat (www.gelpro.com) which would be an incredible idea since standing on a hard kitchen floor cooking and cleaning hurts the body, but the current gel pros hurt the eyes.

Melisa said:
September 23rd, 2008 - 12:37 pm

Just Gorgeous! Can you tell me if your kitchen cabinets are custom or what line? I love that color. We are remodeling the end end sees so far away. Thanks for giving me hope :)

lulu said:
September 23rd, 2008 - 12:42 pm

can we see bigger pictures? more pictures? amazing house!!

September 23rd, 2008 - 1:16 pm

That floor tile in the bathroom is gorgeous…and so is that front room with the brown, lime green and white. It would be awesome to have a few sources for the beautiful things in her house. : )

Kristen C. said:
September 23rd, 2008 - 1:55 pm

WHERE in the world can I find that clock in the kitchen?!?!

brandy said:
September 23rd, 2008 - 1:59 pm

The Plates (with the power lines) in the Kitchen are from a line called Snowden Flood. I just worked a trade show in london and saw her stuff there.
They are so great!

Bri said:
September 23rd, 2008 - 2:10 pm

I LOVE this one because not only does the house look fresh and modern with some fabulous design elements, but it feels homey. So many times I feel like featured homes are beautiful looking, but I could never imagine living there. This is the exception!

Ann said:
September 23rd, 2008 - 2:23 pm

Wow, it’s just amazing. And also so my style.

September 23rd, 2008 - 3:36 pm

I don’t know what is more drool-worthy, her home or her shop! I might have to lean more toward her home…lovely!!

Ruth said:
September 23rd, 2008 - 4:17 pm

De-lurking for the first time to say that I, too, love this house. Hands down my favorite entry to date. Thanks for sharing!

Mary said:
September 23rd, 2008 - 6:48 pm

Does anyone know the name and brand of the color used on the cabinets and the brand of the bathroom tiles? They are gorg!

Andy said:

September 23rd, 2008 - 10:34 pm

I’m so in love with this house… perfect.

September 23rd, 2008 - 11:27 pm

I find it discouraging that the photographer didn’t get credit in this blog.

Chris said:
September 24th, 2008 - 10:36 am

This is the kind of house where you’re afraid to use the restroom if the host feeds you some bad salmon. where do I put my feet? can I touch that? Thanks for sterilizing me Mom.

alexis said:
September 24th, 2008 - 1:01 pm

the orange kitchen rug looks a lot like the Kaley Bloom rug from Pottery Barn:

I just simply love it all. I think the gray kitchen is my favorite. What great use of colors in every room!

julia said:
September 24th, 2008 - 11:06 pm

does anyone know the source for that fantastic green coffee table in the first pic? wonderful use of color and scale. Is this a ranch? Cottage?

Amanda said:
September 25th, 2008 - 2:26 pm

I love the brown on the walls in the first photo. We have been searching for the perfect brown for our dining room… anyone know the color/type of paint??

Susan said:
September 25th, 2008 - 2:50 pm

that brown is definitely perfect! yes, does anyone know what color/brand it is?

Juliet said:
September 26th, 2008 - 11:23 am

Every room is wonderful!!!!!!

Willi said:
September 27th, 2008 - 11:08 am

I really like the paint color in the living room. Any chance you could find out the name and brand? It’s such a pretty, rich brown.

Christina said:
September 29th, 2008 - 7:28 am

Best sneak peak I’ve seen, is your house always so clean & tidy, I’m jealous!

*le sigh*

Melissa said:

I adore your house, it is absolutely breathtaking. So airy, and just relaxing to view. You and your family have done a beautiful job!

Lauren said:
October 27th, 2008 - 8:58 pm

The dandelion print looks to be discontinued. It was sold a few years ago by a company called amenity. They have since come out with some new prints.

Linda said:
October 29th, 2008 - 5:36 pm

LOVE the bathroom and love the idea of a pendant light over the tub. But I wonder: Every electrician I have asked to install a chandelier over my tub — and I have asked several — says that this is against code, and they can’t do it. Does anyone have experience with this?

Snakes said:
November 3rd, 2008 - 12:03 pm

I would never ever leave that beautiful bathroom.

Chere said:
November 6th, 2008 - 11:17 pm

What a beautiful, inviting home! I really LOVE the pale blue bathroom!

Bethany F said:
December 24th, 2008 - 1:49 am

My favorite color combination to see in my “fruit bowl” is avocado, granny smith green apples & garlic. And those 3 colors together are her living room! I LOVE it.
