Hey friends! It is SUCH a HUGE honor to have an amazing blogging friend and talented gal here with us today to show off her house with a home tour you are NOT going to want to miss!
Meet Jessica from Stay at Home-ista!

Hey all you Crafty, Scrappy, Happy readers, I’m Jessica from Stay at Home-ista. I was so excited when Jaime asked me to share a house tour with all of you. I *might* have gone a bit exclamation point crazy on her!!! I was also so happy that she asked me to share a home tour (I can’t wait until her lake house is home tour-able!) instead of a craft. I’ll leave all the crafty-goodness to her:)
Here’s my quick story. I’m a Harvard-trained architect, now staying home with 3 small children (all under the age of 5 (I also have a love of parenthesis!)). I was lucky enough to be able to buy an empty plot of land, only 2 miles form where I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, and I designed and built our dream home. Throughout the process I acted as the Project Architect while my husband acted as the general contractor, so I probably know more about every nook and corner of our house than I would ever need to know! Now I’m in the decorating stage, spending my days mommy-ing, blogging, baking and occasionally craft-making. I’m putting my passion for design, food and family to work. I built the dream, but I still live in reality.

I have finally cleaned up my Living Room enough to be able to take “proper” pictures of it, you know, ones without children racing through the frame or a pillow fort on the couch.
Jessica is one of the sweetest bloggers ever and a total doll~face =)
Oh, yeah…. and her house is pretty too.
LOL
I LOVE the kitchen!! It looks amazing and is so spacious!!
Ummm…Jessica? You actually LIVE there???? It’s like the inside of a magazine shoot!!! What an absolutely gorgeous home you’ve created…heading over to your blog right now to see more…
Thank you, Jaime, for featuring such an amazing talent!
This house looks great and the kitchen is amazing (I’m drooling right now)!! You can come over and give my house a total makeover!

Oooh, it’s so exciting to see pictures of my house up on another person’s site, it feels so “real”, ya know?

Wow what a gorgeous house! I especially love the white kitchen (plus the changing table in the powder room is brilliant).
I love Jessica’s house! The kitchen and the fabulous views make me swoon!

I just love how bright and light the spaces in Jessica’s home are! You’d never know she had three little ones racing around, would you? Gorgeous!
Happy Friday, ladies!

I never tire of viewing Jessica’s beautiful home. I have a secret fantasy to shower with a view of Alcatraz, so I’m getting myself an invite over.

(ok just kidding about the fantasy!)
Absolutely gorgeous! stunning views and beautiful furnishings combined with calming, retreat like colors really make this a stand out home. Thanks for sharing.
