For years, early morning walks past this 1910 Craftsman in Houston's historic Avondale neighborhood left the new owners with lingering fantasies of making it their future home. When it became available, they acquired a home rich with history, but one nearly abolished. The home was once inhabited by Texas Governor (1931-1932) and founder of Humble Oil, Ross Sterling. But, renovations subdivided the home into multi-family rentals and destroyed original finishes. The developer driven modifications were abruptly halted by city red tags in 2018 after original windows were demolished and replaced with vinyl substitutes.
With a nearly clean slate on the interior, the HRDD renovation aims to be respectful to the original context while providing coplimentary modern surprises atypical to the era. One such example is a new opening that punctures through the second floor, extending to a roof skylight. Situated at the transition between formal and informal rooms on the first floor and common space on the second floor, this subtraction is lined with a scalloped wood screen. The screen is one of multiple moments within the home where texture will combine with minimal white surfaces, providing a backdrop to the owners' collection of antique Indian furniture pieces.
Additionally, a new detached replaced an existing dilapidated garage apartment and contains the owner's photography studio. Windows and a skylight are placed to capture coveted north light, ideal for photographing and editing. The main room remains an austere slate, with ceiling vaulting to a single aperture to create a dynamic moment that carries a dialogue to the opening in the main home.

Where collaboration and craft converge, a luminous contemporary home near San Francisco emerges.
This new residence is the result of a deeply collaborative design process between client, architect, interior designer, and builder – a team unified by a shared commitment to craft and precision. Set on a site carefully selected for its ideal solar orientation, the home’s layout balances humility and elegance: a single-story street presence conceals a more private two-story wing that opens to garden views. The design evolved through thoughtful iterations, each element studied and refined, from the sculptural plaster stair handcrafted on site to the interplay between light, material, and landscape. Long white Roman bricks and custom stucco ground the home in its Northern California setting, while Venetian plaster and oak inlays create a tactile, luminous interior that shifts with the seasons. Designed to support both intimate family life and larger public gatherings, the home reflects a thoughtful approach to luxury residential architecture in the San Francisco Bay Area: site-responsive, craft-driven, and built to endure.

This rear elevation organizes a compact two-story massing through a clear play of solid and void. The upper level reads as a continuous clad volume—horizontal lap siding in two tones, with crisp white trim framing the window openings—while the ground floor is partially carved away to form a recessed, roofed outdoor room tucked beneath the second story. That cantilevered overhang shelters the porch and the multi-panel glazed door assembly without adding a separate roof structure, an economical move that keeps the silhouette simple and the footprint efficient. Fenestration is composed rather than uniform: a band of stacked openings and a generous sliding-glass-and-transom assembly anchor the connection between interior and the rear yard, while smaller punched windows handle secondary spaces. The gable roof with deep eaves caps the form, and the elevation steps directly out to a low concrete terrace that mediates between the building and a naturalized, drought-tolerant landscape of grasses and galvanized raised planters. A straightforward, daylight-driven approach to indoor–outdoor living on an urban infill lot.

For independent garden centers, choosing which soil products to carry is about more than filling shelf space. Customers come through the door with different plants, growing conditions, and gardening goals. One may be starting vegetable seeds; another may be building a raised bed, while someone else may need soil for flowers in containers.
The challenge is making sure the soil selection can meet those different needs while making it easy for customers to understand which product is right for their project.
A thoughtfully selected soil assortment can help independent garden centers do both.
Dirty Dirt Soil Company brings more than 50 years of independent garden-center experience to its soil products, with purpose-driven blends for seed starting, containers, raised beds, landscape beds and soil conditioning, along with composted topsoil and high-quality mulch. The philosophy is straightforward: different gardening jobs call for different soil solutions, and giving retailers thoughtfully crafted options helps them give their customers better answers.

Jonathan’s kitchen remodel journey was driven by a need for both improved functionality and a refreshed style. The old kitchen felt confined, with limited workspace and outdated cabinetry that didn’t make the best use of the space.
He envisioned a more open and inviting layout that would enhance daily convenience while providing a stylish centerpiece for family gatherings and entertaining.
Removing the outdated peninsula made way for a spacious new island. Waypoint cabinetry in Painted Linen for the perimeter and Maple Rye for the island and hood added a refined touch, bringing style and function to the kitchen.
At the heart of the kitchen is the new Artisan Range Hood, paired with Arizona Tile Flash backsplash in White, adding texture with a 50% offset/brick layout under the cabinets and a herringbone design around the hood area for a beautiful accent.
The countertops are Arizona Tile Della Terra Quartz in Ridge with an eased edge, complementing the sophisticated new look.
Updating the sink area brought a fresh, cohesive look, featuring a Ruvati Gravena undermount sink in Stainless Steel. The Kohler Graze touchless faucet and matching soap dispenser, all in Matte Black to tie the design together.
With thoughtful design choices and high-quality materials, Jonathan’s kitchen now offers enhanced functionality and a beautifully tailored look that suits his lifestyle.
