We are building a creative, utilitarian life inside an old Victorian( built in 1898) in the historical "Ghosttown" district of Oakland, CA. This blog chronicles our experiences renovating this magnificent antique home and how we learn new ways to build, plant, create and explore our creativity. We'll share our tips and insights with you on how we rehabilitate, remake and refinish this old house so it will last another 100 years in style.

spider plant...spider plant
George hung our new spider plant from a ceiling hook on the 'new' wall corner.
We put the palm tree back in it's original corner (the other side of the same wall).
We yanked weeds from the cement cracks again and then filled the cracks with sand. For the time being, it looks the cleanest I have ever seen it and I think the backyard looks bigger. And...the snap dragons are doing amazing and the first early girl tomato is turning red!

I like the third pic. Where corner is beautifully decorated.

Thank you for noticing that 3rd pic. That wall came together from many sources. The drawing on the left side is Victorian era ( a gift from my sister) and the digital painting on the right is actually mine. The palm tree is real but the lemons above it are fake. Contrasts between two worlds in that one little corner.
