It’s underway. No going back on the kitchen renovation. The photo above is from Wednesday afternoon, right after the Habitat for Humanity crew finished taking everything out. (I shopvacced the mess first.) Week One. Looking full of promise.

Enjoy the weekend! Our Saturday is bookended by baseball (8:30 am) [...]
Good morning. Where has this week gone? It’s Thursday already, which means an afternoon magazine run. I’ve been anticipating the new issue of Domino ever since Habitually Chic previewed the cover. (In the same post, she talks about the fun John Derian furniture party she attended. I’m just a little envious!) Update: Chicago is Domino’s [...]
Here we go! Today is demolition of the current kitchen, running concurrent with delivery of new cabinets. I think both parties are arriving at 9:30 am. (It figures, right?) The new cabinets are going into the garage for a bit while we clear out the space, and relocate the refrigerator, microwave and most important, coffee [...]
Hello! Hope you had a nice holiday weekend. While I write this, our contractor is laying red rosin paper down over the kitchen floor, to be followed by masonite, in advance of Wednesday’s demolition. We’re down to the basics in the kitchen: everything else has been packed up and carted off to the basement, or [...]

It reminds me of the Carneros Inn, especially the pool house. Love it! You can see more photos courtesy of the Los Angeles Times. Slide show [...]
My head hurt on Wednesday from all of the ducks I’m trying to get in a row before the 28th: that would be “tear-down of the current kitchen” day (courtesy of Habitat for Humanity – we’re donating our current cabinets) as well as delivery of the new cabinets, as well as the start of no [...]
While I don’t have all of the “scoop” that I’d like quite yet from the stationery show, I do have a couple of finds I’d like to pass along. The first is the adorable mailbox correspondence cards from small square design. (click on through: collection/correspondence cards/mailbox) I wish we had a mailbox in our neighborhood [...]
