Arlington family blends different tastes to reach 'in yo'

The Arlington County home of Michael and Deborah Sauri reflects the couple’s contrasting personalities. Michael Sauri, an award-winning remodeler, is a rock guitarist with a free-flowing persona who has been featured on HGTV’s “Curb Appeal.” Deborah Sauri is a graphic designer who guards her privacy and enjoys the Zenlike simplicity she learned growing up as a Japanese-American.

Together they created a home tranquil enough for Deborah, yet bold enough for her rocker husband. Their style can best be described as “in yo,” the Asian equivalent to the balance of yin and yang.
