  for sale, glass coffee-table

  10.07.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  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 [...]

  procrastination by johnny kelly…

  09.20.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  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…

  09.12.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  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 [...]

  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, [...]

  mega-dwr sale, fort mason

  08.04.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  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 Comments

  So 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 [...]

  decorating without walls

  12.03.07 | Permalink | 4 Comments

  As you may have noticed there hasn’t been much renovating going on at house & fig. Things are moving slowly here (believe me, we’re just as disappointed as you are)…
