NAPA VALLEY WINTER MUSTARDS

My new Keen shoes from www.Zappo.com, just saw the Zappo team on Oprah. Good company, good ethics in customer service, great shoes for ones closet, hopefully a closet designed by Malka!

These new shoes I wear in the dirt on my walks and on job sites that are under construction with nails and wood under foot.

My shoes here as I am walking through the trenches of Napa Valley vineyards of winter's mustard blooms.

MY CLOSETS IN THE BERKELEY HILLS

Here are several photos of unique homes in the Claremont area of Berkeley California. This is an area of homes that I have some of my most complicated and challenging jobs to design. The older homes do not generally have simple boxes of rooms or closets to design custom home offices or custom closets. The room's walls are often of plaster and are very small. But all are still always quite beautiful because they are unique.
