just a small little project.

after living in (and bursting out of) this funky little house for nearly 9 years, i am finally able to renovate my basement...here are some pictures of the project so far. i will definitely write more about this project later in the weeks to come. oh what an adventure it has been. i can not wait for it to be done.

{future office • before + during}

{trying so hard to be useful.}

{love the new closet space under the stairs. my sweet boy is so smart.}

{hammering in little metal plates over the wires before installing drywall.}

{i had no idea installing drywall would be SOOOO messy...

oh + i have a huge appreciation for those who install + tape drywall. talent!}

mad for blossoms.

i am going crazy for blossoms. they make me unbelievably happy! seriously, just seeing a picture of them makes my heart smile. and now they are bursting open all over the valley...with such perfect timing, as i was starting to get a bit sad about the end of camilla season (another absolute favorite).

{lovely cherry blossoms at martin design • st. helena}

{warm + romantic • san francisco}

{happiness on a gloomy day • napa}

{sweet bee • st. helena}

{no words.}

{i can not get enough of this arrangement • san francisco}

napa flea market find.

{new chucks + old favorite nikes...meeting for the first time.}

sweetness.

{loving these spring blossoms.}

craigslist find: w&j sloane loveseats

my amazingly patient roommate came across these love seats on craigslist a few weeks back and i finally had a chance to pick them up in novato this morning. i was delighted to find them in such great condition as you never know from pictures...

{vintage w&j sloane loveseat.}

{love the linen}

around my garden in february.

{love these delicate little flowers popping out of my rocks.}

{rusty old chair*}

{the vibrant green of the moss makes me happy.}

{they survived the rain!}

{a makeshift chair.}

{empty pots waiting for spring.}

{so happy to see you little primrose.

you are much tougher than i thought.

i was convinced i killed you last summer!}

* to any family members reading this post: no, that is not grandma's old chair sitting out in the rain. i have that one inside + happy. this one i found for free down the street...already in this condition! :)

pablo + uday stare down.

{pablo just wants to get along.}

after a year + a half pablo + uday have started their peace treaty talks. qusay was no where to be found.

yes, my cats are named uday + qusay. a bit sick i know, but fitting since it seems all they do is torture helpless birds, squirrels + lizards.
