For tech entrepreneur Trevor Traina and his wife Alexis Swanson Traina, a historic Napa Valley home provides an ideal respite from city life in San Francisco. The Victorian-style Oakville home was built in the 1860s by H.W. Crabb, a Napa Valley pioneer who founded the To Kalon winery.
The home is full of heirlooms and antiques selected by Trevor’s mother, Dede Wilsey (tour her gorgeous San Francisco home here). “We have a number of family portraits, of my grandparents and my mother, and pieces of furniture I grew up with in various houses,” he said. The result is an inviting and eclectic mix full of warmth and charm.

So sweet!
Read "The Glory of it All" NY TIMES best seller by Sean Wilsey for a real eye-opening inside look!
Gorgeous home! I'm a sucker for chinoiserie panels and lattice work. And who wouldn't want that divine butler's pantry for all of their china and crystal? That bamboo TV set is a first. But I couldn't find Trevor's mother's secretary mentioned in the photograph. All I see is a rather interesting flip-top console table. Or am I being pedantic again? They put it all together in a spectacularly pretty way. I want to stay in that guest room!
Another beautiful post of a beautiful home. I especially love the chinoiserie.
Thank you again, Andrea.
The shades of pink and green are beautiful with such an elegant and vintage feel throughout the home.
When can I move in? I love their style, not typical wine country style, even better!!
You can move in right now. They're currently looking to hire a live-in Estate Manager couple, through Aunt Anne's agency listed on http://www.estatejobs.com.
Not what I would expect from Napa, but stunning nonetheless! That butler's pantry – complete swoon! Hugs to you Andrea! xoxo
Wow what a beautiful home. I love how antiques were used throughout the home. The interior design flows great from room to room. You guys did a great job on this old home, thanks for sharing your pictures for us to enjoy!
