We're Crushed!




(well, at least our grapes are)






We are making wine with our freinds Robert, Laurie and Paul. Robert, the Master Winemaker, has been making wine since 2003 and has been outdoing himself every year.



We crushed 2 tons of excellent Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, from Stillwaters Vineyards. The grapes were terrific, 25 Brix and 3.5Ph.

The Remodel continues!


Our Home / Studio is celebrating it's 100 birthday this year. We have been lovingly restoring and remodeling this downtown San Luis Obispo gem for quite a few years.

Our latest endeavor has been the library, foyer, guest bedroom and living room. We now have rustic maple hardwood flooring throughout. The original molding has been restored and upgraded. As usual, Melissa's color scheme and finishing touches are both warm and elegant.
