Thank you for inviting us into your home! Tell us about the place! How would you describe your home— the design, the feel?
MINI |
Our home is midcentury but our décor is very eclectic. We have a lot of art (much of it made by family members!) and tons of textiles that we have picked up on our travels. I also collect what my husband calls “ugly pottery,” although he’s now on board!

Do you have a favorite room in your home or place where you spend the most time?
MINI |
Our kitchen is open so we spend quite a lot of time there. We can watch the kids play and make dinner at the same time. We also have stools around the island so friends can gather around and sip wine and snack while we cook! RACHEL PALLY |
What do you love most about raising your kids in LA? Would you ever want to live anywhere else?

How do you feel about kids toys or gear taking over the house?
MINI |
We definitely try to keep the toys contained to the play area in the living room and also the boys’ bedrooms. We resisted all plastic, noisy toys for a long time, but now our living room is covered in Hot Wheels tracks and we’re OK with it. It makes the boys happy and keeps them busy! We all have to live and play there so we try to get the kids to clean up their toys at the end of the day, but we really aren’t very uptight about it. RACHEL PALLY |
I can’t imagine living anywhere else! My husband and I are both from LA (so are our parents!) and both sets of our parents live here. They are such an important part of our lives and our childrens’ lives— we aren’t moving away from family! That said, last summer we were in Portland and I got all dreamy about it. I also fantasize about living in Kauai, but it won’t happen unless the whole gang joins us! RACHEL PALLY |
