We do love us some tunes. At our previous house, I wired the office up to the living room and then back to the kitchen to have ”partial house audio”. It was nice, and we’d like to do this at our new house as well. Ideally, we’d like:- surround [...]
zerbebe nursery: odds and ends

We’ve been in a bit of a lull with the nursery progress. With the main pieces complete (or yet to be built), I’ve been focusing on textiles and other odds and ends instead. Lots of decisions to make, but no real progress yet. So, a status update of sorts: 1. Curtains - I still like [...]

Been a busy week for my working and non-working lives, so very little time to blog (I still haven't finished with L.A.!). But we've reached a milestone: (near) completion of the bid set, the set of the construction documents that are hard biddable! To [...]

LIGHTING

Besides fiber art, I’ve also been quietly hoarding a bunch of lighting ever since the dining room chandelier moved onward to a better home. None of the lighting I’ve stumbled on has been perfect and I haven’t been able to find my dream brutalist chandelier – really the closest thing I have found was this [...]
