wall decors galore…
The last few years in interior design have really gone overboard with wall decors. By way of i.d. magazine I found domestic.fr and I’m pretty amazed at the amount of wall decors they have produced as well as the cost; most seem to be under 100 euros. I want to put most of these in [...]

for sale, glass coffee-table
Joe and I are selling this modern glass coffee-table on craigslist. It’s a pretty nice table that was originally purchased at dwr. Unfortunately, I don’t know the original designer but it’s a nice table nonetheless. If you’re in SF and interested, lemme know info(at)houseandfig(dot)com.
And no, the dog and the cowskin are not included. See the [...] -

modern design auction at wright, chicago
A few years ago when I was living in Chicago, I attended a Wright auction. Wright is located in an nondescript warehouse, just southwest of the loop. I’m sure I stuck out like a sore thumb in the relatively small crowd but I enjoyed the auction nonetheless. It was pretty thrilling to see so many [...]

heath ceramics for kids…
I am a huge lover of Heath Ceramics, and when we moved into our make-shift house/campsite I was determined to use all of the excellent Heath products we received from our wedding. I have to say that despite the price and the initial trepidation of breaking or scratching them, everything Heath produces is extremely durable. [...]

procrastination by johnny kelly…
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…
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.
$1 each

2008 Architecture and the City Festival…
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.
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 [...]

stem.
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, [...]
