April 21, 2010 by Rebecca
Don’t say I didn’t warn you–I told you I was getting cable. And get cable I did. Naturally, the first thing I did was set my DVR to record the HGTV shows I’d been dying to watch. Top of my list was Selling New York, a new reality show featuring two sets of high-profile real (more&hellip)
Open House Report: A Crooked Street and a Library Make Me Swoon
April 19, 2010 by Rebecca
Hope everyone had a lovely weekend. As I mentioned on Friday, I decided to spend my sunny Sunday afternoon touring open homes in my San Francisco neighborhood. Turns out it’s way more fun to look at the big, pretty homes, rather than just the ones in my price range. And, what do you know, I (more&hellip)
From Putting Out Fires to Inflaming Desires
April 13, 2010 by Rebecca
A breathtaking home is on the market in San Francisco’s Noe Valley neighborhood. The four-story modern wonder used to be a firehouse, and the exterior retains many of the original elements.

Selling New York: A New Show I’m Dying to Watch
I subscribe to the HGTV newsletter (you might as well know – I’m a HGTV slut).

And while (more&hellip)
A Brooklyn Condo Blowing Minds all the Way to Manhattan
March 29, 2010 by Rebecca
In general, living in a new condo building makes me feel like a caged hamster. But Brooklyn’s new development, The Toren, is something I could most definitely get used to. The massive windows would make you feel like you’re suspended in the middle of an industrial post-apocalyptic futureland–in a good way. The common spaces blow (more&hellip)

I’ve always dreamed of having a beautiful house with a separate little cottage that I could rent out (even in my dreams I know how to pinch a penny).
