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 [...]

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. [...]

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
vintage locker, $375, The Apartment

another shed but this time I mean it…
Ok, so there’s lots of talk on h&f about backyard sheds. This time I’m serious. Joe sent me this link via apartment therapy SF to a shed on Bowen Island in Vancouver. Well, it’s more than a shed. It’s a hotel-shed and it will set you back $175 a night.
Joe and I are definitely going [...] -

The Pan shows mastery in multiple trades…
He’s known for his cooking but this internet-famous chef can also build. You might recall last fall when Brett Mackie of Cooking with the Pan flew out to SF from Chicago to help as Joe’s trusty assistant. He also grilled up some of our figs. Three days into his trip and moments before he had [...]

Joe and I have needed more storage in our make-shift kitchen for some time. Pots, pans, and plates can be found stacked on our desks or [...] -

11.13.07 | Permalink | 2 CommentsI’ve had the luxury of traveling to New York City twice this fall. It is most certainly one of my favorite cities in the world, next to Berlin and you guessed it, San Francisco. And now New York just got even better…
