Bird House

Our recent weekend projects have been spent trying to fix up the house ... walking around figuring out what are the things we can do ourselves. It's been fun learning ... little by little each day ... the processes and way things are done. Lately we've been getting a lot of inspiration discovering all the beautiful textures throughout the nature and forest all around us.  

As we were exploring the woods the other day, we found some old wood scraps and decided to make some little bird houses.  We wanted to make some little cozy places and help attract more birds to come visit the garden ... maybe even sing a little song sometime ... hehe

It was nice to photograph this inspiration when the house was so empty ... I hope we can continue keeping it this minimal way.  Hope you enjoy the inspiration ... ;)

My Little Corner

We were away over the passed weekend for the anniversary of when we first met...

We were away over the passed weekend for the anniversary of when we first met.  Off to the Lake with a wonderful creative bunch of peeps full of smiles and wonderful spirits.  It's always an inspiring event with many moments that I never want to end ... ;)  It's so nice to be in a place where you can really unplug from the internet ... turn off the cell phone and all the other distractions that typically consume us in everyday life.  Time seems to slow a bit and days are a little more full then normal.  It really makes you focus on being in the moment ... appreciating the simple pleasures that are often overlooked and right around us.  

Playing a little catch up from being away and getting back on track to the regular schedule, we spent our time recently doing some clean up around the house ... focusing on the simple pleasure of a clean home ... ;)

We use to have our dining table in this corner, but recently moved it closer to the window.  It's so interesting how that simple move changes the feel of the entire room ... It has since become my new fav corner of the house.  

Do you have a favorite corner in your house?  I think I have a few ... 

Hope you Enjoy!

I have been looking for a fun storage spot for our pillows and blanket and fell in love with this Ferm Living Wire Basket. They come in a few color options and are very strong and versatile.  I was thinking to cut a wooden cover for the top turning it into a table too.

Wall Art

This week one of our highlights was spending time at home and trying to get things organized and in-place... 

It's always interesting to watch how the weather changes in San Francisco.  I really enjoy when San Francisco turns into such light tones ... calm fog dancing around the city when we have our little cup of coffee and eat our breakfast.  It's also a good surprise when you don't notice that you have a long weekend ... woo-hoo ...

This week one of our highlights was spending time at home and trying to get things organized and in-place.  Our main goal was to finally hang the wall art that's been sitting around the house.  I hope you enjoy it ...

If you follow my instagram, you've probably seen a few of these pics :) This week we also spent some time practicing our gyoza and udon making.  We are excited to perfect our skills and share more often to see peoples reactions and what they like. Udon is one of our favorite comfort foods ... very simple and light, creating a wonderful warm and cozy feeling when you experience it.  I thought I would be good at making gyoza, but wow ... it's not as easy to fold them as they make them seem... getting the perfect ribbon shapes on the edge is really tough.  I can't wait to practice more ... my favorite part is after the picture when we get to taste them ... ;)

Here is my new little buddy ... my hubby has been making a fun mask for our yearly get together at the lake ... I am excited to share once it's done, but for now he's just taking up some caffeine to get ready for the fun weekend ... hehe

:O

There are so many gorgeous homes in the city ... each time I see one, I just have to stop for a sec to enjoy the beautiful details.

Bimbo's 365?  So many years in this city and I've never been there. Wow! ... such a beautiful venue with wonderfully classic details.  Why have I never been there?  I think I just had to wait to celebrate with Brian Sugar for his 40th Birthday.  Well worth the wait ... Thank you Brian for such lovely evening.

A few of my favorite things for this week.  My new Micky iPhone case is at the top of my list.  I feel like I got a new pet that I get to take with me everywhere.  His big ears make it so I could never loose my phone too ... lol
