About the Space
Welcome to our house; my name is Joanna. I do background work in movies, TV, commercials and industrials. I enjoy the excitement and creativity of being on a set so much that I thought why not turn our house into a set? Our house is a traditional home with a varied style. There’s both a mix of antiques and new furniture. You’ll find interior barn doors and an old red wall dial phone. Overall, the feeling is both warm and inviting, comfortable, and updated. Our front parlor gives the impression of stepping back in time. The gourmet kitchen is colorful, bright and whimsical. Upstairs we have three bedrooms. We’ve lived in our house for 25 years and my husband’s love of gardening shows. We're minutes away from freeways, restaurants and shopping. There's street parking and a dead end cul de sac just 200 feet away. The Basics Style - Two story house SQ FT - 1896 Lot size - 5,500 SQ FT #Bedrooms - 3 #Bathrooms - 2 ½ Built in 1956 Remodeled in 2011 City - Santa Clara State - California Exterior Features-The front yard has a mature Magnolia tree, green grass and lots of flowers. Front porch has Craftsman-style columns. The backyard has green grass, lots of flowers, fruit trees, meditation garden, fountain, trellises, redwood deck, hot tub, and a vegetable garden. The house was remodeled in 2011. The gourmet kitchen is a joy to cook in. The island is a beautiful walnut with it's own sink. The countertops are done in granite. A focal point is the 48” professional burgundy stove/ovens with a whimsical flower backsplash. There are white cabinets and hardwood flooring. The windows and french doors open up to the lush backyard. The kitchen and dining areas are 375 SQ FT. **We recently updated our backyard. We put in a patio area with a fire pit table, chairs, an umbrella and a garden shed. The rest of the backyard remains the same. Here's a well done Vocolinc commercial that was shot at my house https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziPIjSlbnAQ This is a fabulous commercial that was filmed here for AutoX. You'll see my house in any of the shots that feature the mom and/or daughter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoSU3F9lXKM Get a look at our backyard in this Tech CU commercial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkR-D8VmLdM

The kitchen and family rooms don't have any curtains so there is plenty of natural light. The front office room has heavy curtains and is a dark space with low lighting and darker paint.

Equipment loading description
We move our vehicles for shoots which allows production to use the driveway and garage.

Productions tend to use either our family room or the front office/parlor for staging, makeup and wardrobe. Depending on how big the production is, upstairs bedrooms have also been used.
Some rooms are off-limits for shooting
Typically I shut off one of the bedrooms upstairs for my animals and I put a note on the door to let people know not to enter.

Just finished a video shoot and we can't say enough great things about Joanna and her beautiful home. Everything went great and Joanna made it easy, helping with every detail. I would highly recommend this as a go-to Peerspace property. We look forward to our next shoot here, it's the perfect location, and Joanna is the perfect host!

Hao W. booked a production for 25 people
Producer
Yes, I would book again.
Joanna and her family are such a wonderful host! They let us scout location before booking. Joanna cleaned house before we start shooting. The house looks so perfect, clean and tidy, we event don't need to do much on art direction. Joanna was very thoughtful! She printed out Wifi info and her phone number, sticked on the wall. She also prepared trash cans and helped us clean them during the shooting. Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to rent your space. It was such a nice experience. Highly recommend！
