I’ve been filling up our house with plants, and in turn purchasing many baskets in which to place them. I love the jungalow look my living room is getting with so much greenery around, and the bonus is I’ve managed to keep most of the plants alive for a year or so. But recently I realized one thing […]
Good Eggs Launches in Pacifica
Moving to Pacifica has tons of positives: the beach, the view, the community, the (somewhat) lower-than-the-city cost of living. But it also meant giving up things like amazing restaurants and delivery options. So I get very excited when companies like Good Eggs come to town. The online grocery market delivers fresh produce, meat and fish, […]
2017: The Year of the Home Edit
At home, the year of the edit is going to mean a lot of decluttering. And because we might as well tackle the scariest room in the house first, we’re cleaning out teen HQ. You may recall nearly two years ago when I was preparing to welcome young J into our home. He was only 14 […]
Dark Interior Style for a Dark Year
This year kind of sucked in a lot of ways. And while I’m really into rainbows and light, a dark room feels extremely comforting right now. Lately I’m attracted to black walls, dark wood, deep velvets and the like. And I guess I’m not the only one, because look at all these gorgeous dark rooms […]
7 Things Worth Wrecking Your Stockings
On Saturday, don’t miss My Little Pop Up, especially if you have littles! This Sunday November 20, Peace Industry (makers of beautiful Iranian felted wool rugs) is hosting a Holiday Craft Fair, featuring a few of my favorites including Petel.
Bob Dylan Wins Nobel for Literature
My husband whispered the news to me this morning over the head of our slumbering four-year-old (between us as usual): “Bob Dylan won a Nobel.” It was a meaningful moment that I’ll treasure probably forever because Kourosh knew know how important the news would be to me and had to share it right away, even risking waking the child […]
10 Instagrams to Free Your Inner Bohemian
Something that became clear while preparing for my photoshoot with the Chronicle was that while I’ve tried to fight it over the years, I am a diehard hippie at heart. When Kourosh and I bought our first home together in San Francisco in 2005 (terrible time to buy real estate, btw), I tried to keep things […]
Sad Songs Make Me Feel Better
A few months back, I was picking up Joel, our 16-year-old from basketball practice and I had Sirius XMU playing and Interpol or, I don’t now, XX or Bon Iver or something similar must have been playing. He got in the car and incredulously was like: “Your music makes me sad!!” And I was like: […]
How to Create a ’70s Vibe at Home But Keep It Modern
The process of getting ready for the San Francisco Chronicle (check out the article) to shoot our home involved much anguish over pillow and plant placements, too much shopping, and the rearranging of many pieces of furniture, only to replace most of it back to where it was in the first place. I wanted it to be an […]
8 Things Worth Wrecking Your Stockings
1. Our house was featured in the San Francisco Chronicle. Pretty cool to open up an old-school newspaper and see our digs! There’s a new-fangled online version too. 2. The 34th Annual Fog Fest! 3. Rogue Wave at Bottom of the Hill TONIGHT. It’s sold out but there are some tickets on Craigslist. Also their California […]
