The San Francisco Chronicle did an excellent article this weekend about house bloggers and featured yours truly.
Sadly, we were out of town for the weekend and I wasn’t able to get a post put in place for new visitors, sorry.
The whole experience was pretty cool and the people at the Chronicle were awesome to work [...]
We aren’t having the best luck when it comes to picking out paint samples and then envisioning the color across an entire room. We picked a color called Blue Denim for our master bedroom and bathroom. The little sample made it look really nice and much, much lighter than this. This is what we [...]
My friend Justin, after 6 months of work on his cool new pad in San Francisco, is moving in. He has a handful of great things that he has learned including:
Ray makes a really great general contractor (thanks sweetie!)
An interior design consultant is better than future couples counseling
I now have a really great electrician contact

A city councilman, Mark Easton, lives in this neighborhood. He had a
beautiful view [...]
When we started this project, I was really hoping that we would have cracked open the walls and found a bag of cash, gold doubloons or an original copy of the US Constitution. I think that everyone half hopes that this happens when they work on an old house.
What I didn’t expect was that we [...]
Since we began this project, we’ve always said that we were going to have a big demolition party and let the kids ride their bikes and scooters in the house and write on the walls. Last night we had our gig and, in short, they’ve turned the place into a squatters hollow.

Well, we had the infamous yard sale this weekend. We had a great showing based on the Craigs List post and I think that between all of our friends, the property made about $2,000. Fortunately, our neighbor had a big estate sale on the same day which drove a lot of traffic.
