Jul 2, 2014 • Thanks for all the recent comments on some of our other posts. We appreciate all of the helpful tips and suggestions. We just had our downstairs flooring installed and it looks beautiful. I’ll do a post on that shortly. In the meantime I wanted to share another DIY that is relatively quick, easy, and an...

Jan 11, 2014 • Happy Saturday to you! I’ve been obsessing over wall galleries lately so I chose a few of my favorite artworks offered by Serena & Lily to throw together. I think repeating the cream and orange tones helps pull this selection together – even the birch colored framed on the seaweed print helps with the theme....

Jan 8, 2014 • Hello there! I hope you’re staying warm wherever you may be. The US is experiencing a frigid Winter. I only feel a little bit guilty that it’s in the 60s here in San Francisco and I’ve been in the garden all week. I’m cheating a bit with the name of this project. It can only...

Aug 1, 2012 • I think I’ve officially forgotten what it felt like to live in our old, neglected house. It’s transformed in such a short period of time. So long old house. You served us well. What do you think of the facade? xo

Jun 19, 2012 • Comments Closed Hello there. Here are a few relatively recent photos of the project. In the next week or so I’ll have a much more updated post. The weather is simply gorgeous here in San Francisco (it’s not a typical Summer for us). I hope you are enjoying lovely weather wherever you may be. The pocket park...

Mar 22, 2012 • Here are a few recent images to catch you up on our progress. See the descriptions below. This architectural glu-lam beam will be exposed in our kitchen. It marks the transition from ~11 foot ceiling at the entrance to ~8.5 foot ceilings to the living room (despite it being one big room). I really want...

Mar 22, 2012 • Comments Closed Hello there. Just a quick note to say that we got our very first, official logo. Everything I’ve used before was made by me and it didn’t look very good. Annemarie of Scout’s Honor Co. made the new logo for us and I love it. I highly recommend her for any design projects you might...

Mar 22, 2012 • Joe has an amazing ability to visualize space. I unfortunately do not. As we walk through the construction site I keep exclaiming, “Wow this is bigger/smaller/longer/different/better than I imagined.” Joe just rolls his eyes because the space has been in his head for years. Thankfully, he is patient with me and super helpful. For instance,...

Mar 18, 2012 • Comments Closed As you know we’ve been living in the Mission during our renovation project. While I love this little adventure of experiencing a new neighborhood (especially all the flat streets and gallery openings) I am missing our neighborhood just a bit. It’s silly because we’re surrounded by great coffee and restaurants here in the Mission. We’re...

Mar 4, 2012 • It’s hard to believe we were sleeping in this house a month ago. The construction is moving faster than I imagined. So far we’ve had lots and lots of demo, footings/foundation poured, grade beams installed, initial sewer lines installed, retaining wall poured, and the start of the framing (more updated images to come). This coming...

Feb 23, 2012 • It’s amazing how fast our contractor is working. We’ve been so pleased with him. The footings went in yesterday and today the first pour of concrete is going in as I type this. I can’t wait to see some framing go up. Forgive the iPhone images. I have been shooting on film and will share...

Feb 22, 2012 • Comments Closed I’m obsessing a bit over facade palettes. We’ve been pretty focused on getting the construction started and therefore haven’t put a ton of thought into the facade. We need to make some quick decisions. We love the warmth of wood. It’s a big theme throughout our house but it’s rather hard to balance that with...
