looking for some colour
we need some colour on the wall of our bedroom patio...
we are looking at a diy project with the girls this weekend. i think something like these would look very pretty hanging on the wall - and would make good use of our large stick collection.

CA Modern
fun little article on home offices that includes ours

CA Modern
the chooks are happy with it.
great article on Fickett as well - who for a while our neighborhood was attributed to.
couple of errors - but nothing major. laughed at the quote about feeling like i am in the backyard (i am in the backyard!) and kind of fun to think of myself as a painter!

10 yrs
we moved into this house over the july long weekend 2001.
i was 6 mos pregnant with our first daughter. and it was so hot.
while there are still some finishing touches to do (and hopefully we will do this summer!) d has really made this house a home. a labour of love growing alongside our family.
we've come a long way baby.

table makers
The Scout Regalia team of Makoto Mizutani and Benjamin Luddy were at Dwell on Design today! So great to get to meet them in person...
:) (I felt like such a design-nerd.)

our other garden
when we are not working on the house we are busy working at the elementary school down the street. our daughters both go there and our community has taken on the task of tearing up as much asphalt as possible, dreaming of a green schoolyard. we are in the middle of a big construction project - including an 8000 sqft edible garden.
"the guys" - neighbors-friends-and-parents - spent yesterday building beautiful 12' x 4' raised beds from 6" x 6" redwood timbers. there will be 20 in all.
my friend john lyons - garden designer extraordinaire - has designed the space - and it promises to be stunning.
**********
interested in learning more about greening schoolyards? i will be on the sustainability stage at dwell on design today - along with david king from the venice learning garden; michelle frier of mia lehrer and associates; and alissa walker from GOOD magazine (and of gelatobaby fame!). i am very honored to be part of this great panel. (and excited to check out all the other great things happening at dod!)
