A Place I’ve Called Home

Home is definitely our 1920s odd split level in the Richmond Annex. My husband and I have done most of the improvements ourselves, from a kitchen remodel to significant landscaping. We built a large garden bed out of reclaimed redwood joists in the backyard during COVID, and it continues to produce amazing tomatoes—even well into November!
