    Today’s mission: to sew in the zippers and finish my tapestry cushions! Thankfully I was learning from the master, Ruth Morris. They turned out so well! Behold, the (world’s first??) nudie needlepoint cushions! Definitely my best idea yet… 😂❤️

    Happy birthday, Uncle Mike! 🩷


    Exciting #renovation day! Our new bedroom furniture was delivered this morning, and I’m loving how the headboard complements the blue wall. 😍 Then our bar and cupboards came back from the restorer, thoroughly cleaned, repaired, and looking lovely. That meant we could unpack a few more boxes, including our Museum of Obsolete Technology. 😂 And the landscapers have built a form for our floating concrete bench seat!


    “This is the greatest damn city in the world.” Happy anniversary to us! We had amazing Japanese-Italian food at the much lauded @lumidining. Everything was so good. 🍷 Also, I wore pristine white Chucks… just as I did on my wedding day. ❤️👰‍♀️

    Landscaping update! The stairs are finished, and the stone pavers are being laid. They’ve also put in pads that will support the floating deck. Out the back, they’ve built a new retaining wall that will have built-in seating. I was excited to see some of the corten steel planters have arrived too! I just keep reminding myself that there will eventually be a LOT of plants that will fill in the gaps and turn it into a green oasis. ❤️🌱🌴🌳
