Telling my perspective

June 4, 2018

My neighbor told me to write a journal for the sake of my family. His wife just passed away about three weeks ago and he’s been reading and learning so much about her life. Private thoughts she had that he never knew. He tells me some stories here and there but I’m sure there’s so many memories he can’t even put into words.  

I don’t know if I’ll ever journal consistently but I do enjoy writing my thoughts from time to time and maybe I’ll write them with more intention after our conversations.

Ipe deck

Building an outdoor sectional

July 21, 2015

We have a large deck that we built out of ipe about eight years ago. We have furnished it with a variety of adirondack chairs and dining tables but nothing has felt right. A few months ago we stumbled across the Ana White Simple Modern outdoor sectional and thought it would be a great fit for our deck!

There are two separate designs that make up the sectional, corner units and armless sections. To get a feel for how the design comes together we built one of each out of basic white wood from the Home Depot. Each one took us a day to cut and build and we thought they came out great!

We took these two down to our deck to check for scale and decided on three corner units and six armless sections. We also decided to build them out of an Indonesian hardwood called red balau to play off the ipe deck and also last a lot longer in the hot California sun!

Hello from my corner of California

March 8, 2013

It's March but that means its almost sunny season here in California. I can't wait to spend my Friday afternoons out here with a cold cocktail, my pups and some knitting!

I was almost late for yoga because THERE WAS ACTUAL ICE ON MY CAR. I don’t own an ice scraper or even remember how to deal with this the right way. Should I run the wipers? Do I spray stuff? Gah! #whatisweather #whyamicold
The sky brought its own filter tonight #nofilter #oceansideca
