The Story

Kelly Finley may be a designer, but she’s also a parent who has to contend with fingerprint-y surfaces, juice-splattered upholstery and toy-scratched floors. When she and her husband, Delvecchio, bought and renovated their 2,900-square-foot Oakland, California, home, Kelly was determined to make it super family-friendly and super stylish. “Just because you have kids doesn’t mean your place has to look like you run a day care,” she says. The couple worked together on plans to take down walls, vault the ceilings and overhaul the layout. Then Kelly ushered in the glam with gold touches and dazzling wallpapers, and the fam-tastic with performance fabrics and sturdy pieces that have a playful side. Even 7-year-old Zoe weighed in on decisions. “Each one of us helped put this home together, which makes it even more special,” says Kelly.

Living Room

When the family purchased the home, the fireplace was covered in dated ceramic tile with crumbling brick beneath. A simple wood surround and black tile in a herringbone pattern brought it back to life. The shelves of the bookcase are painted black to play off the tile, and art (from a Brazil trip) covers the TV.

Living Room

A navy channel-tufted sofa by Room & Board is fab central, while a rattan hanging chair by Serena & Lily conveys that this space isn’t just for grown-ups. Few kinds of furniture are a bigger hit with kids — except maybe a swivel chair, which this room also has. (It’s from Design Within Reach.) The vintage coffee table is a Paris flea market score.

This pretty spot has a practical secret: It’s all totally cleanable, including the custom white vinyl benches and the plastic chair from Design Within Reach. Purple paint, a wall hanging from Mexico (the couple have reminders of their travels all around), and a Shades of Light pendant boost the drama.

Kitchen

Going off the black window trim and white oak floors throughout the house, Kelly went for a black island and white oak cabinetry. She fancied it up with a marble herringbone backsplash that extends over three walls, showstopping counter stools and brass elements — the pendants, cabinet pulls and faucet.

Dining Room

Recognize the drapes? They’re the same pattern as the ones in the living room, but in a different colorway — a great trick for an open floor plan, where everything is visible at once. The prism wallpaper on the ceiling, by Cole & Son, is a fun touch that has made Zoe’s virtual learning space a little more exciting. The gold light is by Arteriors.

Kelly gave it a luxe retreat vibe with a richly colored rug from a trip to Morocco, which sparked her color choices for the custom maroon velvet bed, the navy bedding and the yellow pom-pom throw from Bon Ton Studio. Cream and gray grass cloth wallpaper by Thibaut and striking art add texture. The painting is by Kader Boly, an artist Kelly discovered on Instagram.

Guest Bathroom

Soft light green grass cloth wallpaper by Phillip Jeffries brings color and texture to an otherwise black-and-white space. Although moisture can leave watermarks on grass cloth, it’s great for a guest bathroom since it doesn’t get steamed up often. The mirror is by Noir.

Zoe’s Bedroom

It was a collaboration: “Zoe and I had a ‘client meeting’ where she gave me design direction,” says Kelly. The floral shades, in fabric by Caitlin Wilson, and purple ceiling, are Zoe picks. Kelly dialed up the glam with a custom pink bed, spotted wallpaper by Thibaut and sky blue window trim (Cloudburst by Sherwin-Williams).

Gym

To create their dream space, they finished the area below the garage. Inspired by pictures of rainbow floors she had saved, Kelly used Flor tiles to get the look, placing them on top of a rubber floor for support during workouts. Zoe kinda sorta pitched in: “She worked for 10 minutes, then left to play Legos!”

Deck

The Finleys added this deck, which has become an extension of the living room — Zoe paints here and practices archery with toy arrows that stick to the glass doors, and Kelly and Delvecchio make work calls. A pair of Galanter & Jones heated chairs by the firepit are the place to sit on a cool night.
