It's pretty obvious some very creative souls live here. Homeowner Lindsey Cheney is the <a href="http://thepleatedpoppy.com/blog/" target="_blank">blogger</a> and handcrafted <a href="http://shop.thepleatedpoppy.com/" target="_blank">accessories</a> designer behind <a href="http://thepleatedpoppy.com/" target="_blank">The Pleated Poppy</a>, something to definitely check out. I'm loving the colorful and open family room and kitchen–especially the collection of globes! The family actually spends 90% of their time in the playroom though. It's Lindsey's sewing, crafting and blogging room, and her husband also runs his business partly from it. Their 3 kids not only play in the room, they are homeschooled there too! No wonder it's so organized!! Read an article about the home <a href="http://www.sanluisobispo.com/2011/06/22/1652828/theres-no-place-like-home.html" target="_blank">here</a>, and see lots more pics of their home and get answers to source questions on Lindsey's <a href="http://thepleatedpoppy.com/2011/07/house-tour-playroom-studio/" target="_blank">blog</a>! <br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Love turquoise?

I'm loving all the color and pattern in this beautiful home designed by Los Angeles interior designer <a href="http://www.jennfeldmandesigns.com/index.shtml" target="_blank"> Jenn Feldman</a>. What I love most about Jenn is her ability to mix flea market finds with custom pieces and cherished family antiques, not to mention bargains from Target! The fabulous wallpaper is the real standout for me in this home though...Kravet in the living room, Schumacher in the bathroom and Osborne and Little (my fav!) in the adorable nursery! The comfy window seat is total perfection too...love all the pillows!
