New blog every Friday! Become a fan on Facebook.
Living in the bay area is a luxury. From the salty, cool streets of San Francisco to the warm nestled valley of Sonoma, beauty abounds.
Streets of San Francisco. These sweet 1930′s, 40′s pastel homes are located in one of my favorite pockets of the city, the marina. The first marina post office was established in 1919 complete with a general store and a gas pump.

Heading up the highway, we arrive in the sweet little town of Healdsburg. Most of the early cabins and houses in and around Healdsburg were modest structures often “designed” and built by amateur carpenters. In the tradition of the “first come first buy” American frontier, no section of town was set aside for business or public purposes. Many of the early residents came from the deep south. You can see evidence of this in the style of architecture, chimneys built on the exterior of the home with a wide hearth.
