Other things to note
While many families stay at the house, the upstairs loft has vertical railings that are only a few inches apart. But we like to mention for families with children that it is a loft overlooking downstairs main floor so parents should provide supervision with small children or infants.

Born in the 60s
My work: Maison Reve
My life is about celebrating ordinary moments everyday. I am a local designer who loves french vintage flea market finds. You can read more about my lifestyle and vintage products online at Maison Reve. I am half french (born in Montreal, mother from Switzerland) and my Australian husband and our two children (Finnegan and Delphine) live in town. We love to go to farmers markets and cook, check out farm-to-table style restaurants and take the ferry into San Francisco to visit art galleries. I am writing my first book right now which I hope inspires others in our American culture to slow down and enjoy simple moments all around us.
