Creating a garden's journal will help us know what works in our new yard.
The Unplanned Surprises in the Garden
Sometimes nature just knows what should go where.
Naming the House
Naming a home helps to personalize it, describe its vibe and gives it a personality.
Spring is a Reason to Celebrate
For us, as for many, one of the most anticipated times of the year is the first day of spring, or the vernal equinox, which takes place on or around March 20
The Rock Quarry
Finding the perfect rocks to complete the hardscape of our yard. What we learned visiting rock quarries.
Rain Chains are More Than Functional
Rain chains are more than a down spout. They are considered kinetic sculptures, providing water music, promoting peace and tranquility in the garden. They also make an architectural statement on our Rummer home.
The Craft Cubby
When designing the Craft Cubby in the office, the inspiration came from the Møbelfabrikk "ERGO" free standing shelving unit from the 1960's Eichler in Lucas Valley.
Marie Kondo, Thank You
Marie Kondo would have approved of architect Robert Byrd, who designed a place for everything. How these influences helped us downsize.
Extending the Living Space to the Outside
Rummer Houses just invite you to extend your living to the outdoors. We built our out-door living room and she-shed with this inspiration in mind.
The First Snow – the Beauty of the Yard
Experiencing the first snow in the backyard of our Rummer home was magical.
