About Us

Thanks for visiting our blog!

We are completely blessed to have our little house and the support of friends and family to put it all back together once we've taken it apart. But if you're wondering about us, here's a little bit more to satisfy your curiosity.

After living in Chicago for two year, we've returned to the Bay Area to Jessica's native home, and Andy's adopted home.




Andy, the head-honcho, man-in-charge, project manager of this renovation, is a talented urban planner that is passionate about a world without cars, community, and his grandma's fried bluegills with mashed potatoes (a meal that can only be followed with blueberry and peach pie).






Jessica, a born multi-tasker, is content with a very full plate of words that sound like: entrepreneur, pending mother, designer, and head buyer. This house renovation may be the first time that shopping has become overwhelming. She's passionate about bikes, vegetable gardens, and her grandmother's plov.









Pili is our border collie/beagle/lab mix who is still discovering what the west coast smells like. She loves water, tennis balls, and playing with friends. Her parents are concerned that she may have a staring problem.
