Gentleman on the Move


Literally been moving.  Forgive me for  not posting.

I am happy to report that we are settling into our new digs and more importantly we are out of boxes!  I still have not kitchen counter...therefore no kitchen but what is life without a few bumps in the road.  I do have hot water now which is so nice after three days of cold...very cold showers. 

The micro cottage is a concept in small space living measuring in at a whopping six hundred square feet.  Yes you read correctly.  It is a surprisingly efficient space.  We have found ourselves making quick decisions of what is really necessary and what we can let go.  Interesting how easy it is to simply your life this way.  What you quickly learn to do in a small space is make your daily life tools objets d' art.  From plates to towels these are the elements that count the most because they are the things you connect with on an intimate level....a great closet is also important. 

The home, built in the 1940's by an architect for the park service also has a wonderful garden space which our dogs are enjoying exploring and making their own.  We intend to do some gardening and make it an extension of our living space.

I've also just returned from a trip to Los Angeles having designed and installed an exhibit for the California Gift Show called "California Bespoke".  I will share the details in an upcoming post.  So stay tuned and I will share some pictures as our space comes together. 

Bye for now.
