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 [...] -

mega-dwr sale, fort mason
I hate posting about dwr sales. It’s the ulimate yuppie embarrassment to get up early on a saturday morning, coffee-in-hand to wait in a long line full of other suckers. However, this looks like a colossal sale and probably worth attending. I don’t mind scratches at all, especially when it knocks $2K off the price [...]

farm fresh to you…organic produce home delivery
07.08.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsSo this isn’t quite renovation-worthy but it is a great Bay Area service that Joe and I just discovered. Since the days I lived in Chicago, I’ve wanted to sign up for a produce delivery service that comes straight from an organic farm. In those days though, I was living alone and would have had [...]

sunset house
01.21.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsWelcome to 2008 everyone. We took an unexpected hiatus from posting to the blog, mostly because we’ve both been so busy with our respective jobs and not doing much with the house. We’re back up and running now so check back for new posts every week…

Inhabitat holiday party tonight…
Inhabitat.com is one of my favorite blogs about sustainability in architecture and home design. Joe and I are headed to their holiday party tonight. If you’re in San Francisco, there’s still time to RSVP. If you’re not SF, at least you can read the blog. It’s an excellent resource. More about the party here.

’scientific-industrial’ architecture in Bernal Heights
Joe and I have officially begun the design phase of our project, which means we’re looking for other renovation projects that catch our eye, rummaging through our stack of old Dwell magazines, and soon Joe will be throwing our current layout…
