Sunny space by the windows

In the past three months, our San Francisco studio apartment has been transformed in bits and pieces–one project after another. Each step makes this new space more comfortable, happy, and bright for everyday living and working.

From the very start, this space under the bay windows was destined for coffee drinking and quiet reading–and is perfect for soaking in the late afternoon sunlight. The green armchair is one of my favorite things, an early-LA find on craigslist–and its DIY refinishing and reupholstering was a longggg labor of love.

And there are a few new favorite things here, too. First, a matching armchair tucked under the other window, which is an upcoming upholstery project. And then, the just-the-right-height industrial wooden crate to shelve our window garden. Both were found by chance on the streets of San Francisco. (This city may be renewing my love of curbside finds!)
