What a difference a few months make…
I think I’ve officially forgotten what it felt like to live in our old, neglected house. It’s transformed in such a short period of time. So long old house. You served us well. What do you think of the facade? xo
Construction images from the last few months
Hello there. Here are a few relatively recent photos of the project. In the next week or so I’ll have a much more updated post. The weather is simply gorgeous here in San Francisco (it’s not a typical Summer for us). I hope you are enjoying lovely weather wherever you may be. The pocket park...
progress this week
Here are a few recent images to catch you up on our progress. See the descriptions below. This architectural glu-lam beam will be exposed in our kitchen. It marks the transition from ~11 foot ceiling at the entrance to ~8.5 foot ceilings to the living room (despite it being one big room). I really want...
moving quickly
It’s hard to believe we were sleeping in this house a month ago. The construction is moving faster than I imagined. So far we’ve had lots and lots of demo, footings/foundation poured, grade beams installed, initial sewer lines installed, retaining wall poured, and the start of the framing (more updated images to come).

making palettes

We need to make some quick decisions. We love the warmth of wood. It’s a big theme throughout our house but it’s rather hard to balance that with...
old images
While cleaning up the blog I have been stumbling upon some old images from the first time we tore some walls down. I love the look of these images – all shot on film. This was forever ago. We will have some new construction images going up soon. Stay with us.
…and we’re back
Hello there. We took quite a long hiatus from the blog. I’m happy to say though that last Fall (2011) we had permits issued and this week construction started again on our house. We are excited and a little scared. Please join us again for some updates on our progress and hopefully some DIY projects...
