New Modern Farmhouse | Master Bath
We pulled the color palette and high contrast from the bedroom into the master bath, and pushed it one step further with a beautiful botanical wallpaper.
New Modern Farmhouse | Master Bedroom
We used some of the Coates' favorite New York City hotels as inspiration for the bedroom.
New Modern Farmhouse | Kitchen
The kitchen was an exercise in flexibility. We all wanted the kitchen to be defined by its own color palette, and to have some soul but the details changed as the room developed.
New Modern Farmhouse | Living Room
The main room of the new house was a unique challenge. It was large, but the client wanted it to feel intimate. The client wanted it to be bright, but not sterile. And like most open plans it contained three zones: living, kitchen and dining, but in this house they are all visible from the front door.
Elsie's Guide to Local Fall Destinations
While the Bay Area may not have the stunning foliage of New England or the chilly mountain air of Colorado in the fall, we have our own gems that make this a beautiful place to live at this time of year. We love pumpkin hunting, apple picking, and cozying up with autumnal treats to get us in the spooky spirit.
Friendsgiving Makes a Comeback
We were all keeping our circles small last year, and for the most part Friendsgiving went by the wayside. This just may be the year Friendsgiving makes a comeback. But let's not over do it. The important thing is to enjoy the company of our friends, not to sweat in the kitchen.
Cookies and Bookies
Fall and winter certainly feel like the seasons of tradition. We're a nostalgic group and love the idea of creating new traditions as well as keeping old ones alive. At Elsie Green, we've started a new tradition for the team that marries two of our great loves - baked goods and books.

Photo Essay | Yosemite on Film
| photography by andie furber |
A couple weeks ago, my parents and I finally made our very first trip to Yosemite together. After 20 years of living in the Bay Area, not a single member of our family of five had made the trip to see the most magnificent valley on Earth. We figured it was about time to do so, and we were not disappointed.
