"These [pictures] are from our living/dining area with a few glimpses of our kitchen and the rest of our main living area. They feature lots of decor I made (the paper flowers, concrete planters, paintings, coffee mug and hoop of course!)"

Concrete planters and paper flowers by Kristin.

"This is the guest bath and bedroom, which tends to double as a drying room for my letterpress work—that's a set of invites all over the bed!"

Kristin's hoops feature original 622 press designs. Select hoops are currently available in our Chicago storefront and coming soon online.

The guest bath.

The entrance to the 622 press studio offers a perfect view of Bess, Kristin's 134-year-old press.

Saved the best for last! This is the gorgeous view of the Ocean from the balcony.

House Tour: Branch Handmade's Retro Cool California Pad

This week we officially introduced you to Branch Handmade as our Designer of the Month, let you decide which of their new products makes it into the store (VOTE NOW!!!), and picked their brains in our Q&A.  Now it's time to dive a little deeper with a look into the gorgeous California home of Branch Handmade designers Todd and Ashley.

The dining room.  Loving the wood paneling throughout the house.

Have you ever seen anyone make those 80s cabinets look so awesome?!  Loving this kitchen.

If you look between the super cute chairs, you'll see the best little table ever.

Ashley hard at work in the studio.  Like that they added style to the space with the rug.

Their backyard.  Look at the view in the background too.

Catch the full tour of their wonderful home on our facebook page.  Don't forget to bring a bib for all the drool :)
