Cottage comeback.

The article features the remodeled home of designer couple Catherine Bailey and Robin Petravic in Sausalito, California. The house they bought is a pre-1900 cottage on the hillside above the harbor. According to Bailey, it was a challenge to modernize an old house, thus, they decided to mix their modern and functional items and old ones. For example, they warmed rooms with fir floors and filled spaces with modern furniture whose clean lines made the most of small quarters.
