  In August of 2007, my husband of exactly 45 days and I purchased a very old, very dirty house in San Francisco. This blog will document the process of us attempting to transform it into a place we can call home.

about

houseandfig.com is Sarah & Joe Hebenstreit. Joe is a ‘Maker’ in all meanings of the word as well as a Product Design Lead. Sarah spends most of her time photographing very cute kids Sarah Wert Photography. We got hitched in July of 2007 and about a month later found ourselves tearing down walls in our new home. You could say we're newlyweds living in a construction zone.
