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 [...]
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. [...]
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.

Joe and I are definitely going [...]
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 [...]
Whether you’re in need of more storage in your kitchen or want to install a library for your books a wine box shelf may be a good (and cheap) solution.
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 [...]
I’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…
