Mission house recap




So, to recap.... its 159 fair oaks st, 3 story building, five units total, ours is the biggest, with two units on each floor above us. located in between 22nd and 23rd, near the j-line muni ;p

4 bedrooms, one and a half baths, we pay gas and electricity, they pay water and garbage.

there are two parking spots available, one underneath the building, and one outside, for 195$ each. It is super clean, still kinda spells like paint, and all the appliances are new.

let me know what you all think! I think Its worth a looksee.

Mission house kitchen, plus details





I realize I didnt get pictures of the bedroom on the floorplan marked by bedroom 2, its next to the first bedroom in the front, divided by what was probably once pocket doors, but is now an actual wall. all the bedrooms have closets and windows.

and....the kitchen! Big,brand new appliances!
And the door in between the sink area and the stove leads to the brand new washer dryer, which is coin operated, but the landlord pays for the water.
Through that door, is a private entrance, gated of course, with a little space between the door and the stairs to the upstairs unit. Everyone in the house is between 24ish and about mid thirties, NO CHILDREN OR OLD PEOPLE.
There are two parking spots, one under the house, one outside, each available for 195$ extra a month. There is no backyard type space, and the parking area is shared with the condos that are on the opposing block, but supposedly they periodically have little dinner parties outside and such.

racoooooooooon print


I love animals. Have I mentioned that? I love them. I hope someday to have like four big dogs and chickens, and alpacas. So I could play with dogs, have fresh eggs, and make my own yarn! I'd teach classes and everything! It would be so fun.

but you know which animals are annoying? Racoons. They get into your garbage at three in the morning, make a lot of noise, make a mess, and steal your dogs food.
That's why he is the bandit king!

a few inspired fabrics



I love fabric, ever since I was a child, I would beg my mother to let me get a pack of fat quarters of a yard from the local fabric store. I would take them home, lay them out, and often make doll or stuffed animal clothes out of them. I keep finding small shoeboxes full of fabric whenever I visit my mother.

Here are two swatches of fabric in my portfolio, one is a hand-stamp printed, painted, dyed and treated cotton duct, inspired by falling leaves. The other one is a discharge-silk-screened print of a weeping willow, based on a ink drawing I did.

hope you like!
