  procrastination by johnny kelly…

  09.20.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  Ok, this is not really house&fig relevant; unless you count the fact that there are 50 things I should be doing with the house today (Joe is outta town) and instead I’m watching short films on the internet. But if you have ever procrastinated even you over-achievers out there, watch this. It’s a really beautiful, [...]

  a few quick finds…

  09.19.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  I’m posting a few local finds from The Apartment and some vintage pins bought at X-21 Modern in the Mission. I wish we had room for a few of these things, especially the locker. It would make for a nice place to display an awesome show collection.

  2008 Architecture and the City Festival…

  09.12.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  If this isn’t on your radar already, perhaps it should be. The AIA Chapter of San Francisco is hosting the 5th annual Architecture and the City Festival. Lots of great programs have passed but there are still plenty to attend, including this weekend’s (hugely popular) home tours.
  Joe and I went last year and enjoyed it [...]

  GrassrootsModern, read it.

  09.10.08 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  For as long as we’ve had this house and probably even before that Joe and I have followed the Salt Lake City based blog, GrassrootsModern. It was created by Creede Fitch and his wife to document their modern house renovation (on a budget) as well as super-cool products for home and baby. We admired their [...]

  Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing Maxine Siu’s store called Stem in the Mission District of San Francisco. Ruby, Maxine’s daughter was the perfect photo assistant, making the shoot easy and fun. Thanks, Ruby!
  If you’ve never been to Stem, go now. Maxine has an incredibly well designed store, with lovely and unique flower arrangements, [...]

  mini kitchen renovation

  09.08.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  I love typing ‘renovation’ into the flickr search to see what I can find. I haven’t done it for a while and was delightfully surprised to see this seriously mini kitchen being renovated by icklemissus. I’m not sure if it was ever finished since the last image was posted nearly a year ago. Nonetheless, the [...]

  Le Creuset in Slate…never wanted something so badly

  09.08.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  Well I guess that’s not true. I wanted my driver’s license so badly that I was convinced I would die some tragic death just before my 16th birthday. Did I mention I was a dramatic kid?
  Seriously though, it’s been a while since I’ve truly yearned for something in my kitchen and now I can’t stop [...]

  09.03.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  I’ll confess I saw this on Oheedoh (apartment therapy’s kids’ edition) but I had to highlight it as well. Studiomama a London-based designer named Nina Tolstrup designs furniture and spaces. I love the Kids’ House (show below). It includes a sleepy area, lego wall, and exterior blackboard wall. I built forts of all kinds as [...]
