        <media:description><![CDATA[Christa and Kurt Johnson of Conifer, Colorado, work in high-class, high-tech industries: She does marketing for resort real estate like the Four Seasons; he’s a software developer. But when they’re on vacation, they don’t call down for room service or complain about the Wi-Fi. They hit the road hauling a 44-year-old Serro Scotty trailer, in search of mountain lakes where cell phones can’t find a signal and starlight serves as the entertainment. A couple of years ago at a fly-fishing show, Christa saw a display of vintage trailers. Taken with the idea of a wilderness vacation that wouldn’t involve a tent, Christa fell for the iconic Serro Scotty trailer—a brand once common on Western highways. “Kurt thought I was a nutcase,” says Christa, who spent a lot of time online, searching for a not-too-expensive model (used Scottys can range from $500 to $2,500) that wouldn’t require too much work. “The morning I saw the ad for ours, I knew we had to go see it—even though it was two hours away.” ]]></media:description>

        <media:description><![CDATA[After a clever and functional remodel, the kitchen for two artists (Christina is a designer at Heath Ceramics in Sausalito and her partner, Cathy Lo, works as an art director in San Francisco) has charm to spare. Collaborating with designer Jon Norton, the couple came up with a layout that worked for their creative lifestyle: the key addition being a new island. "The island isn't a barrier between the kitchen and the studio--it's just a part of the studio," says Christina. ]]></media:description>

        <media:description><![CDATA[Besides adding (finally!) a dishwasher and a garbage disposal, the Pauleys upgraded other appliances (including a refrigerator that opens, sensibly, toward the sink). They also introduced such innovations as concrete counters. Using decorative serving platters, the Pauleys now keep kitchen items handy. “Before, we had to store some dishes in the basement,” says MaryJane, “and we had serving platters under our bed!” To keep the kitchen from feeling too new, MaryJane installed era-appropriate fixtures and fittings  (pendant lights from Omega Too,   omegatoo.com ; cabinet hardware from Belmont Hardware, 510/548-5757).  A new color palette softens the look. Creamy whites brighten the earth-toned Craftsman palette while greens keep it tied to nature. Cabinet paint is Acadia White #OC-38  ( benjaminmoore.com );  the island picks up the dining room’s Cleveland Green. In addition, glass tiles add subtle pops of color: Lucido in Coal, Ivory, and Chalk, plus Satinato in Papyrus  (all from   italics-stone.com ).   The breakfast table—its top is salvaged madrone—triples as a prep station and a desk for doing homework. Bonus: One end of the table has three drawers for still more storage. ]]></media:description>

        <media:title>A favorite era</media:title>
        <media:description><![CDATA[Walking into the 1920s West Hollywood bungalow owned by Heather Taylor and Alex de Cordoba, you’re entering a home filled not with Jazz Age glamour or sturdy Craftsman charm, but with the spirit of an era not universally beloved by those who lived through it: the 1970s. Maybe it helps that the 30-something couple view those years with the affectionate nostalgia of early childhood. “Stylis­tically, it’s one of my favorite decades,” says Heather, who co-owns an art gallery  ( taylordecordoba.com )  with Alex and designed their home’s interiors. “I love the films, the fashion, and the look of the whole era—those warm, earthy, funky combinations of colors and shapes, the handcrafted vibe.” And the house demonstrates how the best principles of that time—mixing old with new, heirloom with handmade, patterns with more patterns—can look just as fresh today.   ]]></media:description>

        <media:title>Backyard</media:title>
        <media:description><![CDATA[The listing read something like “adorable fixer-upper,” but the 1890s house hidden in the middle of a block in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles barely qualified as habitable. There was no heat, no insulation, no foundation. The bathroom floor was a few layers of linoleum over dirt, and holes in the walls were patched with cardboard. “It had been built by a family of adventurous—or desperate—pumpkin farmers on the outskirts of what was then the city,” says Alexandra Angle, an interior designer who back then (2009) was living in downtown L.A. with her husband, Eliot, and their baby daughter. The house was small—just 900 square feet—but the yard, covered in cinder blocks and tile, did have a handful of old citrus trees and a grape arbor, and the whole property was shielded from the street by a neighboring duplex. “We’d just adopted our daughter, so we wanted the feeling of a real neighborhood, but also some privacy,” Alexandra says. “The inspectors said we were crazy, but we went for it anyway.” “Given how small our indoor living spaces are, we tried to make outdoor living spaces,” Alexandra says. With the cinder blocks and tile ripped out, the yard is now home to a grapefruit, a persimmon, and three kinds of orange trees; a California oak; jasmine and bougainvillea; and lots of bamboo and ferns—as well as an outdoor living room, a dining room, and a tub. ]]></media:description>

But when they’re on vacation, they don’t call down for room service or complain about the Wi-Fi. They hit the road hauling a 44-year-old Serro Scotty trailer, in search of mountain lakes where cell phones can’t find a signal and starlight serves as the entertainment. A couple of years ago at a fly-fishing show, Christa saw a display of vintage trailers. Taken with the idea of a wilderness vacation that wouldn’t involve a tent, Christa fell for the iconic Serro Scotty trailer—a brand once common on Western highways. “Kurt thought I was a nutcase,” says Christa, who spent a lot of time online, searching for a not-too-expensive model (used Scottys can range from $500 to $2,500) that wouldn’t require too much work. “The morning I saw the ad for ours, I knew we had to go see it—even though it was two hours away.” ]]></media:description>
