Exploring lean construction and the future of building design | Professor Iris Tommelein, University of California, Berkeley

Whether you’re a seasoned veteran of the football field parking lot, or just starting to think about trying this fun type of entertaining for the first time, Fall is a great time to get outside and spend a little quality time with friends and family, over food of course!

Kennedy provided the artwork.The side of the room where the crib sits is still a little sparse, but I’m happy about that.

It gives me the chance to keep adding to the room if I think of something else I really want or need in here.We’re not really using the room for much yet, other than playtime and storage because Jack’s still in his bassinet in our room.There’s lots of space for me to have a little more fun in here!.

I’m a big fan of the trim work in this room as well.I can take no credit for it, but Chris really should teach a class on making all those angles line up on weird crooked old walls.

I love that we were able to keep what we liked that was already there and then add in some new stuff and have it all look good together too.. We ended up using all furniture that we already had, so that made things come together pretty easily and made it not such a big deal to spend all that money on adding more and more trim all around the room..

The crib was Kennedy’s 8 and a half years ago.I just dip the brush into the hot vinegar water and use that.

Also, if I have any caked on mess, like ketchup that somehow managed to splash up onto the faucet, I take a rag, dip it into the hot water and just let it hang out on the mess for a minute to completely take it away.. Once the water in the sink has cooled, I pull the plug!I like to take my toothbrush again and get into the cracks around the drain and also get any grimeyness out of the drain itself.. I’m pretty sure that all those dark spots are all coffee stains from all the coffee we drink around here!.

The next step is for those of us with old, well-worn sinks.If your sink gets dings and scratches in it like mine does, you can gently buff them out using one of these green scrubbies..
