, an online community of more than 25 million homeowners, home design enthusiasts and home improvement professionals, recently featured
the top ten Houzz articles of 2014

The Houzz decorating tip this room embodies?
Vary the scale. What looks good in the store may look like an elephant in the room when you bring it home. Or it’s too tiny to be of any significance. So always vary scale and proportion.

Steven Sutro was the architect for this project, and Clayton Timbrell was the contractor.
