Today’s my two year blog-versary. In two years this site has gone from an email I sent to ten friends to…something else entirely. In a good way. Here’s to a spectacular 2011 for all of us – I for one am really looking forward to seeing what’s in store. Read more →

Under foot.
That’s our house. Well, technically we share it with these two lovely Spanish dudes named Reuben and Ramon. It’s a duplex (like a house that’s split in two) and it was built in 1965 by a pair of architect brothers who married sisters and lived side by side in their little slice of heaven in the Valley. The place is… Read more →
Dee’s Nursery: Part Deux
Oh, hi. We totally weren’t expecting you. Come on in. You’ve come at a great time. If you direct your eyes to the bottom right hand corner of the frame, you can see one of the natives making an offering to the beast that lives in her closet. The beast requires {the organic version of} Cheese Nips, and the natives… Read more →
Labor of Love
As of this week, Dee’s Nursery – the one we started over a year ago – is finally complete. Holy crap, right? Okay so maybe finished is a little bit generous. Everything is complete, but I still have to clean and photograph the other side…which is currently stacked with boxes of her 0-6 months clothes, which I finally sorted {sobbed}… Read more →
Finally. Something to Obsess About.
Dee’s first birthday is less than three months away and I’m starting to contemplate what I’d like to do to celebrate. I guess I should probably consult Scott at some point, since she’s 50% his to shower with love and affection {Shanny, if you’re reading this, let’s talk about that, okay?} but I promised Eva that she could select the… Read more →
Meanwhile, elsewhere on the internet…
So, I have some exciting news: I’m now blogging daily on all things art & design at a wonderful little place across the internet called CARGOH.COM. If you’re a lover of art, or fashion, or music, or design…this place is for you. My new home away from home, the Cargoh Culture blog is an eclectic mix of the current, the… Read more →
Sunshine and Rose Bowls
On Sunday we had a lovely stroll through the Flea Market with Randi and Adam. We mostly window [tent] shopped, but I did score this beauty for my vertical garden project: (Until we’re ready for it in the yard, we’re letting it live out it’s final days as a room divider and Dee is enjoying the patterns it makes on… Read more →
Not-So-Easy Chair
Remember when I said that Scott was going to reupholster our Plycraft Lounger himself? I bet you guys thought I was lying because then I never showed you the finished product. But we did actually do it! (Again WE in these situations is Scott, although I held the staples.) A little back story: Grandpa Barry (Delilah’s Grandpa, not our… Read more →
Succulent Green
The arrival of this CB2 Catalog on my doorstep reminds me of two things: 1. Summer is coming. (I’d be more excited if I didn’t still look pregnant in my ass.) 2. Our Backyard is…in even worse shape than it was when I whined about what bad shape it was in last summer. But last summer, we neglected our yard… Read more →
The Plycraft Project (Phase 1)
Having finally recovered from the Crib Hack, and starting to feel the crunch of the final month of pregnancy closing in on us, Scott’s next big undertaking, The Plycraft Re-upholstery Project, has begun. In the past few weeks, we started to doubt our DIY libidos, and thought that maybe this one was better left to the pros, but after having… Read more →
