I fall asleep to the muni bus going by, traffic, random people talking, skateboards, etc. Occasionally we get sirens and car alarms at night, but not often. I don't even hear muni any more -- espec...

Speaking as someone who lives in an updated Victorian in Alamo Square... I think it's fine to do some updating as long as you keep the spirit of the home intact. I agree that perhaps they went a bi...

ltboatshow's idea of making a map is a great one. I've never bought a house before, but I did this for my last apartment search and it was really helpful. There's an even easier way to make a map, ...

Judging from how many dogs are in my neighborhood--North of Panhandle--it's a really dog-friendly area. It's not super close to BART, but you've got the 31, the 5, and the 21 running directly downt...

Here are my standbys: - Hummus and pita - Quesadilla with avocado and maybe some beans - Grilled cheese - Scrambled eggs and english muffin or toast - Toast top...

Seaside, that sounds utterly amazing. Photos? I wish our apartment had the space for a man room, but it's okay that it doesn't: my boyfriend is not particularly masculine and I'm not p...

Bah. I only wish I had this problem. 3,000 square feet worth of stuff to get rid of? Oh noes! Try packing two San Francisco studio apartments worth of stuff -- already pared down to the essentials ...

I'd love a copy of this book because I'm a huge sucker for gorgeous photos of food, and because I love drooling over (and sometimes even making) exquisite recipes!

Last January I moved to an old apartment with single-pane windows right on the 5 bus line. Fortunately we're on the 3rd floor and there's no stop at our corner, though there is a stop sign. During ...

Guinness ice cream with a chocolate swirl!

Hey, I think I know where that is! Near Alamo Square, right? I live a couple blocks away. :)

Oh oh oh! Me!!

Lame. I grew up in Monterey and my best friends' family had a kitchen with terra cotta tiles and it was fine. Monterey is colder and more foggy than Santa Cruzy. It doesn't freeze that much in that...

Aww, what a cutie! :) I have a cat that's that fluffy and let me tell you, the hair management is practically impossible!

Ohh, I would love one of these! When I first saw these I marveled at how beautiful they are, and how I could never afford one... Thanks AT:SF!

Ohboy. I'm sure the anti-gentrification folks will have a few words to say about this. Especially the "pioneers" language. Oof. Cute place, though.

I think it looks pretty good already! My one suggestion would be to get some plants to enliven the area. I don't know much about gardening, unfortunately, but something lush and green and a bit of ...

Dang. That's awesome! Makes me wish our landlord hadn't installed these not awful but not so great new hanging l...

Oops, sorry, I just now reread-- you said no light. Never mind!

I really like this one: http://www.homedecorators.com/P/Orleans_Bath_Fan_with_Light/810/ Tha...
