Personality goes a long way!
/
A mid-century modern home is more than just a real estate investment. It's a lifestyle decision that shows you value design, nature, and community. It's about finding a place that feels like home, where every corner reflects a part of your personality and preferences. And it’s also about a vibe.
Rebirth of a restaurant.
/
The former home of Bumble and House on First will open a new chapter in 2025 when the popular Luna Mexican Kitchen opens its third location in Downtown Los Altos. The Michelin-grade restaurant already has successful spots on the Alameda in San José and the Pruneyard in Campbell. Learn more from the Town Crier.
A Century in the Making
/The Olympics are returning to Paris for the first time in 100 years, which got us thinking about all the ways the world around us has changed in the past century, and how it’s stayed the same. Would you prefer to live in the 2020s or the “Roaring” Twenties?

I’m intrigued by the fashion of the 1920s, from hats and flappers to rising hemlines and bob hairdos. Everyone was letting loose in the wake of Prohibition, and women were putting more skin on display in a show of liberation. And from all the photos and films of the era, it looks like everybody was having a lot of fun! If I had a time machine, this would be one of my first destinations.

Tight suits, bowler hats, cigarette holders? A little too stodgy for me. Call me a big dumb guy, but I’m always happier lounging around in a Hawaiian shirt and jeans than getting dressed up for a cocktail party with people who couldn’t care less about the score of the ballgame. And there’s one thing that’s taken a big leap in the past 100 years that I couldn’t possibly live without: power tools!
The Longest Day
/With the summer solstice arriving on Thursday, we’re gearing up for the longest day of the year and debating the best backyard traditions to enjoy with family and friends!
CHIC (Pearl)
If you read our posts regularly, you know I love to entertain. So this summer, you’ll find me setting up the string lights, popping a bottle of sparkling wine, and calling some friends for a backyard soiree. It’s my way of celebrating this place we call home, where you can sit outside at night in late June and not get cold!

I’ll bet you thought I was going to go with barbecue. Okay, so I’m going with barbecue. I mean, what else is there to do when the sun is out until 8:30pm and you have a few pounds of meat in the fridge that somebody (not saying who) brought home from Costco? Clean your grill, fire up the coals, and let the sizzling commence!
