She and her family just moved into this 1916 traditional-style home four months ago, but the place looks impeccable — not a cardboard box to be found. She and her husband Jordan scored the two-floor Berkeley home thanks to friends who had to suddenly moved to London.

I love the way Shira complemented the dark woods with natural, neutral interiors to bring more light into the cozy 1300-square.-foot space. Her light fixtures, some sourced from Schoolhouse Electric, had me drooling, as did the abundance of outdoor space (especially appealing to a city girl like me). Home envy on this end for sure.

Take a look at the modern and inspiring home, and please give a shout to Shira for sharing.

My Style: Streamlined, airy and comfortable. I love the simplicity and beauty of Scandinavian style and love a space that feels calm, open and relaxed. My philosophy is to try to buy less, but to invest in a few high quality, thoughtful pieces. I also think that fresh flowers keep a home feeling pretty and cared for.

Inspiration: The usual suspects (Pinterest, design blogs, books, travel) but also my super talented friends and my favorite local boutiques — Good Stock and Atomic Garden in Oakland and Erica Tanov and The Gardener in Berkeley are my current favorites.

Favorite Element: I love the layout of our two-story house. Oddly enough, I have always dreamed of a home where the bedrooms were all upstairs and the living space and kitchen were below. I love that we can have dinner parties downstairs while our kids sleep upstairs and not worry about waking them.

Biggest Challenge: My style is light and bright, with lots of open space and sunlight. Since we bought a 100- year old house with tons of dark wood, I had to work hard to bring in a lot of balance. I used white linen cafe curtains and cool, crisp paint colors to brighten the space. We also opened up the doorway between the living and dining room to improve the flow. I like a home where my kids can run around without crashing into walls!

What Friends Say: "Where is all your stuff?!" OR "Please don't paint the wood white!"

Biggest Embarrassment: Our TV stand, which is an old kids' bookshelf. We literally sawed a hole in the back with a kitchen knife to weave the cords through.

Proudest DIY: Hmmm...We do not win awards for this category, but we are proud of our herb garden outside the kitchen. We planted tomatoes and lots of fresh herbs, and our girls love clipping off sprigs to use when we cook.

Biggest Indulgence: The light fixtures. We bought our house from a good friend who took her amazing light fixtures with her, so we needed to start from scratch. I convinced Dana, the owner of Good Stock in Oakland, to sell me some her unique vintage finds right off the boutique floor. I also found some great factory lights from Schoolhouse Electric and collaborated with Omega Lighting to design my own globe pendants for the kitchen.

Best Advice: Fill your home only with things that you use and love. I edit ruthlessly and frequently. My career is helping busy families to streamline and simplify their spaces, so I am often inspired to do the same! Life has dealt us some tough personal blows in the past few years, and having a home that feels streamlined, calm and pretty has been a saving grace. I try to make my home a sanctuary where we can unwind after a busy day, cook, play and relax.
