Am swooning over this kitchen! Ryan, your pad is in my old 'hood -- I was on Landers b/t Church and Dolores and miss the area. Lucky gal, you.

Am now in the 'burbs on the Peninsula and will be using your kitchen as inspiration. It's the perfect compromise for my husband and I (he likes dark; I like light) and the classic style won't be out of place with our 1950s home.

Question on the marmoleum, and linoleum in general: is it bad over time for homes on a hill/slope like ours? I noticed tiny little bulges coming up...possibly due to our house settling.

Thanks again for sharing.

Swoon.

Beautiful! And the floor cushions -- what a cozy corner to cuddle, read, and nap!

My eyes zeroed in on the picture and I quickly recognized the lyrics. How lovely, indeed!

Lovely!

Love it. I (who has no crafty skills) can tackle this!

With some serious decluttering in my room, I might be able have the same clean vibe as their bedroom. *Time to declutter*.

And I can use some interesting bedside lamps.

Love the post and the idea for the modified store bought pinata. Thanks for sharing.

To take a bit of the 'chore' out of rotating water supplies, Slate has an article on Emergency kits and mentioned that expiration dates on water are a myth. The water will have an 'off taste' but is fine to drink. One problem is that sometimes the bottles leak and should be checked for replacement.

Also, a well-prepared colleague clued me in that water heaters are an emergency source of water, too.

I used the book jackets from a few of Miroslav Sasek's "This is..." series for my daughters room. I couldn't bring myself to cut the from the book.
