I split my time between San Francisco and the funky Napa Valley wine country town of Calistoga. In July of 2016 I bought a cozy little mid-century cottage tucked on an acre and a half of land on a winding mountain road. The house needs a little TLC, but the setting is idyllic. . . Dragging along my architect (and boyfriend) Lev Weisbach, we embarked on a project to turn this unassuming cottage into a comfortable, modern wine country retreat. This is the story of my adventures in renovation!
