This is a cozy little space with a great view in 4 directions. It perfectly exemplifies the concept of “prospect and refuge”, which might be a big part of why it is such a great place to live. Thanks to Rona Lee (rona-lee.com)

John made it back over to San Francisco with the trim piece and installed it this rainy afternoon. It might be a little too nice.

John is working in the shop today setting up his router to replicate Pete’s 100 year old exterior trim. Parts of it is rotten and the painter awaits the replicas so he can finish the job. I will post soon with pictures of the trim installed.
Living Architecture

I have been sorting through old pictures today and found some nice pictures of architectural plants that I collected.
Glorious Springtime Wisteria
Vine Curtain
Nice Wall Vines with Wire (I think this one is gone…so maybe not such a good example)
Unintentional Deciduous Living Roof at the Post Office
This bit of fence, with a neat row of cactuses along it, reminded me of the cactus fence at frida kahlo’s house in Mexico City
Curvy Kitchen Shelves in Turquoise

This is the unfinished kitchen of a creative scientist. I helped him with many aspects of the design, including these shelves, but he and the builder are a creative force to be reckoned with. The shelves curve in plan and get bigger as they go up. The cabinet maker will return to rebuild the center three verticals with angles like the end panels. I will post another picture. Still to come a curvy peninsula and new countertop and floor. I will also get pictures of the whole kitchen when it is finished.
