I have everything but the whisk and the scale. A scale has been on my list for pizza dough recipes, but now I really want that whisk. We will see.

Great list and I agree with all your picks.

That's some nice Eldorado Stone. I think it's Cliffstone, Montecito. I like seeing it used in such a modern way. With a rustic twist of course.

To answer the flea market, thrifting question:

1. The swap meet at Sports Arena on Sunday is hit and miss for vintage, but if you need plants for the house or cheap sunglasses it's awesome.

2. Frock You on Park is awesome for vintage clothes. So much fun.

3. AmVets off the PCH is good sometimes.

4. The AmVets in North County are great for finding newish clothes in great condition.

5. For mid century finds Park has some nice shops. Nest in Golden Hill is awesome. Adams Ave. also has some fun shops.

Other than that you will have to go north and explore.

This thread has cracked me up. My husband and I have lived in San Diego for almost 6 years now and I can completely relate to the negative comments that some people have left.

I have been coming here all my life. My grandmother lived on Coronado. I have amazing memories of the beaches and taking the ferry over to go thrifting downtown when it was super industrialized.

I work in Little Italy and I love aspects of it, but I am a very positive person that would find the glass half full no matter where you put me.

I think the negativity lies in the fact that San Diego and San Diegans act like this is the "Finest City," and it's not. The infrastructure and planning are terrible. The rents are inflated because of military subsidizing, which makes it tough on people who aren't serving. For the same cost you could get a lot more out of a city.

Until we find better jobs we are here plane fuel and all.

I pay $1100 plus utilities in San Diego, CA for around 800 square feet. We are under planes and my neighbors have zero taste. I'm always looking to move.

I'm in love. I used to live in Santa Cruz and before that I spent a few summers in Aptos. I hope those folks that live there know how lucky they are. I miss that beach so much.

Let me just say that getting a dishwasher back in my life was the best choice I have made in awhile. When I entertain I never sweat the mess. My husband and I have much less tension regarding who's turn it is. Even though sometimes he puts in stuff he shouldn't I never want to be without again.

first of all, congratulations, this is a great space. you should have seen the hall i rented. remember to draw attention down. i think white lanterns would work really well (http://www.lunabazaar.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=659) or these http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60150794. i would use this wedding as inspiration http://100layercake.com/blog/archives/1256. tons of candles, lush color on the tables and glass. i can't tell you how many times i have thrown a party and nothing looked right until the glass was on the table. good luck.
