Artistry is just the beginning.

Vannessa Gonzalez's Outer Sunset house tells a story. An old pinball machine lives in the living room, alongside numerous plants, woven textiles and surfboards. Paper garlands float above the dining table. The kitchen is a hodgepodge of spices, pots, knickknacks and fresh fruit. Then, there's a "relaxation room" in which excellent lighting lends itself to painting and the kind of eclectic, charming chaos that is impossible to re-create. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
