About the House

“Everyone thinks our house has been here for 100 years — exactly what we were going for when we built it (in 2016)," say homeowners Emily and Micah Baginski of their 2,956-square-foot house. "The standing seam metal roof and cedar-stained Douglas fir beams remind us of old California farmhouses, while the smooth stucco column bases give a modern touch.”

“Most of our yard is under the cover of a Japanese zelkova tree,” says Micah, “so I spent a lot of time scrolling through Pinterest for shade-tolerant plants.” He landed on patches of shaggy Japanese forest grass and spiky foxtail fern. Fortnight lilies border the concrete path and bloom ivory flowers from spring through fall.

Fir Front Door

Emily and Micah designed this extra-wide (40 inches, to be exact) Douglas fir beauty to fit with the rest of the home’s architecture. The triple-pane window and dentil molding emphasize the Craftsman style.
