now you see it...now you don't


after living in this great litttle flat in SF for 8 years and wanting to make a few changes and not spend $$ (since we rent), i decided it was high time to invest a wee little bit.

this little porch off the kitchen houses storage, a door that takes us to the roof top or downstairs to the garden and is also home to the refrigerator.  i have wanted to hide that refrigerator for a loooooong time and just decided this was my next project.

with my budget in check, i asked my friend Kat from StyleKouncil to be on the look out for some swinging doors when she is out and about foraging.  she quickly scored these swinging doors...and for under $50.  done and done. 

the rest is history and the dream never died...now i am just waiting for May West to appear.

not all that bad


so, hillside is still plugging right along, but still far from being complete.  this is the "front of the house..where the outdoor living spaces are slowly coming together" we are finding ways to enjoy what we have and not miss a moment just because there is still so much to do.  living in the moment.

squish, squish



back home after an uneventful weekend..and i came home to this.  it is funny...no one ever sits in the living room expect the MO and me and i feel like everyone is missing out, but at the same time i feel like it is one of my best kept secrets i have.

jump in this sofa and you may never come out.
