Project Detail

In 2018, my then-fiance was diagnosed with terminal ovarian cancer. We purchased a home to escape the over-stimulation of downtown SF. The very first time Grace saw (what was to become) our new living room, she excitedly exclaimed “this wall should be a bookshelf with one of those rolling ladders like in Beauty and the Beast!” I never quite got around to building that shelf but as she started home hospice and I was spending all of my time at home during COVID, I felt a strong force pushing me to transform the space into something that captured Grace into our home. The week after her death I spent sawing, routing, and screwing pine boards and cedar columns to create something I knew she would have loved.
