Up, Up, and Away Posted by Katie Soon the warm, breezy days of spring will give way to the hot, humid days of summer. Unless you are opting for a Mia Farrow cut, you will need something to keep your locks from going limp....
Touch Base Posted by Lisa & Rena We are texture junkies. Rena is a terror to museum guards, as she is always stretching her fingers longingly toward the art. There's a word for this: haptic. It means “of or relating to the...

A Nice Surprise Posted by Lena I just had a chance to catch up with Andrea Wyner, who photographed our wedding in August 2005. We bumped into each other on the subway, and realized that we're now neighbors, since Andrea splits her time...
Bring Back the Coffee Break Posted by Regan Why is the coffee served in offices so bad? If not weak and watery, it manages to be overly strong yet characterless. And who knows if that giant urn ever gets a good cleaning? It's time to...
Bath and Beyond Posted by Rebecca The bathroom is one of the most important rooms in the house -- a sanctuary. Where else could allow Calgon to take you away? Recently, I’ve started freshening up our bathroom. I started with new towels (from...
Artist in Residence Posted by Lisa & Rena Portland artist Betsy Walton is having a show at our store in San Francisco this month and we couldn’t be more excited. We sat down with her to ask her about art and life.
Made in the Shade Posted by Kerstin I've been looking for the perfect shade to paint my bedroom. However, the fluorescent lighting and middle-school gymnasium floor at the hardware store are making it somewhat dull. I am so happy I found colourlovers.com, a site...
Pimp Ride Posted by Elizabeth I have a love-hate relationship with owning a bicycle in New York City. On one hand, I love the idea of hopping on a bike and riding all over the city until I don’t feel like it...
Start Your Spatulas Posted by Bluelines With much of the East Coast and Northwest in a rainy rut this week, it’s a perfect time to be holed up inside and baking. And what’s better than licking that wooden spoon? Winning something for all...
Tune In Posted by Kerstin So, I'm ready to fulfill a dream I’ve had for a while: learn to play guitar. My first step is to picking out an instrument. A musician friend told me the shape of an electric model might...

See How Our Garden Grows Posted by Shane Last summer, my boyfriend, Addys, and I moved into a garden apartment in a Brooklyn brownstone. We had never imagined cohabitating this kind of space -- but having the garden to ourselves just outside the kitchen has...
Brave New World Posted by Lisa & Rena Every few weeks, we set out through our fine city of San Francisco to discover what’s happening in the world of art, crafts, and design. This past week we found a goldmine at the Luggage...
Gold Rush Posted by Scott The recent string of warm-weather days has not swayed me from finding more great finds on etsy. By now, you all know what a sucker I am for handmade goods. I really enjoy the handmade feel to...
Happy Earth Day Posted by Callie OK, you may have heard the word eco-friendly ad nauseam this month. But we have something to share with you on Earth Day that we would glady support and use any day of the year. The Danish...
Found Treasure Posted by Kerstin There is a well-heeled auction house here in New York called Doyle New York that recently held their estate jewelry sale. I wasn’t able to attend -- not a huge loss, as the prices were a tad...
Change of Art Posted by Bluelines With blooms budding everywhere, we thought it was time to spruce up our space, so we swapped out our logo banners above with some gorgous new artwork. Where did we find such charming,nature-inspired beauties? No further than...
Brooklyn's Finest Posted by Lena It was worth the wait to get a copy the new book Brooklyn Modern by Diana Lind. I wrote about it last week on my blog, but had to mention it again after seeing it in person....
