Introducing: e-volvedliving

July 26th, 2010 dorothy

Tomorrow marks the 6 week anniversary of being in our new home here in San Rafael, Marin County, CA! We’re pretty excited to be here.  Our home, neighborhood, town, and the surrounding area feel like a good fit on so many levels – and all of the important ones! Words really can’t describe how happy that makes these 4 (Dorothy, Jeph, Sid, and Bazel) road weary former gypsies. So, in that spirit, a new site is born: e-vovledliving.com/living. You’ll find us there regularly, writing about all the elements of living a happy, healthy, holistic life at 120 D Street.

Topics include:

  • setting up our home/office/studio for maximum productivity, comfort, and pleasure; and being positive forces in the world through our daily choices and actions
  • the creative process and what we’re producing in our workshop
  • getting dirty – digging, raking, pruning, planting, composting, watching things grow
  • Jeph’s bike thang – building, repairing, and riding (occasionally I join him!)
  • exploring our neighborhood and connecting with local communities
  • exploring the rest of Marin County and beyond and sharing good times with our friends

Home Renovation Blog – 440

August 10th, 2008 foust

We created this blog to document the major house renovation we undertook. The scope of the project was a full scale update of a mid-century modern (Gropius’ firm TAC designed) dwelling in Lexington, MA with a decidedly green approach.

We did all the designing, sourced the materials, selected the contractors, and put a fair amount of hands-on work into it.  Dorothy served as General Contractor with Jeph as The Muscle.
