The Case for Books. (Okay, a Bookcase).

I’m one of those stodgy people who refuses to own a Kindle. I know e-readers are super practical and all, but “I just like the feel of an actual book,” I’m known to say. (“I know an automobile is super fast and all, but I just like the feel of an actual horse, you know?” […]

Before and After: City Balcony Turned Chill-Out Spot

As anyone who lives in a city knows, having a little outdoor space – no matter how tiny  – is a true luxury. When we moved to our Madrid digs in the winter, our 1970s ugly-tiled little balcony didn’t look like much, but I wasn’t about to let an outdoor space to go waste. When […]
