Iwo Jima Memorial, Washington DC
On this beautiful Memorial Day weekend (well, beautiful here in Southern California, that is) I want to extend a 'thank you' to all of our men and women who have served and are currently serving in our armed forces, protecting our country. We can never forget the sacrifices so many have made in times of both war and peace, and showing us and the world that our country truly is the home of the brave.
Finally, a new design space. I've been looking for a new space to complement the workshop for several months now. It's really hard to do design and clerical work in an environment that's constantly cluttered, dusty (read: dirty) and just hard to manuever sometimes when you have multiple projects in various stages of completion all spread out. In addition, I was sorely lacking additional storage space for not just wood but tools and accessories. It was maddening at times. But today is the dawn of a new age--ok, that went a little off the deep end but it marks somewhat of a fresh start for me. This new space isn't all that big, but it's nice and clean (white walls!) and a comfortable environment to work in when I'm not doing any woodwork.
Well, it took longer than I wanted but our new website is finally live. I'll be importing some of the older entries from the former website/blog soon and making new entries so stay tuned.
Hello everyone! Just want to update you on the progress of the new website and where I go from here. I'm hoping to have the new Pasadenaville website live in about a week. This site you're viewing now will still remain the same although it will revert back to its original address: pasadenaville.blogspot.com.
At the same time, I'm working on some new live edge wood tables while I continue to work on some custom order pieces (which I'm still behind on). Hope to have the tables listed real soon.
There will also be a blog section within the new website, and though most of the posts will automatically be crossed with this blog you're reading, my thoughts and musings on Pasadena and sustainable living will still live on here. So stay tuned!
There's always something on display that grabs your attention at Bonita Interiors
On Saturday, I did my regular routine of afternoon coffee and cookie at The Market on Holly, but instead of heading straight back to my place I decided to do a little walking in Old Pasadena. Since Bonita Interiors had set up shop on Holly I had always admired the beautiful furnishings on display whenever I passed by, and that day I finally walked in. What a revelation--not only do they have a beautiful mix of furnishings but Angela, the proprietor, was just a joy to talk to and discuss all things furniture and design. From the get-go you can sense her passion for design and to share tidbits of our respective backgrounds was refreshing and inspiring. If you get a chance and want to check out some gorgeous furnishings then stop by Bonita Interiors.
