Home Again

Home Again

Last week, Susan and I were driving to a friend’s house (Hi Larry) and drove past a store I have never seen before. It was a home consignment store called Home Again. There was something about the sign that made me think that we would have to come back some other time. On our way [...]

404 Error

404 Error

It is where it all begins and where anything is still possible, if only in your head or on paper. These renderings, on Kohlers site, depict a pan handle that may or may not ever [...]
