Rockridge unfiltered. The magical hour. Rockridge unfiltered.
The magical hour.
Was thrilled to experience the brand new @saltands Was thrilled to experience the brand new @saltandstraw ice cream shop in #Rockridge at their benefit for the Chabot Elementary School. Gotta support the kids. 🐷

If you're not familiar with this Portland Oregon-based ice creamery, the creativity and quality of their ingredients will be a 🍦 thrill. 

The Thanksgiving season meat-based flavors are a palate-bender!

This weekend they have lots of festivities and events to celebrate their grand opening in the stretch of College Ave near Cole Coffee, Philz Coffee, Safeway and all the places we love.

The homemade waffle cones are delish.

I remember when they were new on the scene, working with the Portland food innovation center's  genius food developer @sarahmasoni 
So it was especially fun to meet one of the company's founders, Kim. They have come so far!

Thank you for coming to Oakland!

When you're thinking of making a quick year-end investment purchase, it's important to commit to a buyer's agent who will go the extra mile to make sure you don't make an expensive mistake. And better yet that you make a decision that's smart for you.

Rockridge home owners tend to invest in high-end kitchen remodels which reflect the average home prices of over $1.5 million here in our neighborhood.

But after checking prices with local contractors for a "traditional" kitchen remodel, this couple decided to assemble an Ikea kitchen on their own with some help from a contractor for gutting, plumbers and an electrician, and a company that fabricated the countertop after they had assembled the Ikea cabinets (while watching TV).

The creative use of upcycled street signs for back splashes was a big hit among everyone who passed through on the Rockridge Kitchen Tour.

As a fan of stick figure iconography, I loved them!

The biggest investment for the kitchen remodel was the "servery" folding window that opens up to the patio. It opens on a rail instead of some folding windows that have a large lip at the bottom. So the maximum amount of space and light is exposed. They said the window was an $8,000 investment (and worth every penny...remember pennies?)

Got questions about real estate, kitchen remodeling to sell, investing outside of California or home ownership? Just ask.
