hello there.

Well, whaddya wanna know?  Here's the plain and simple truth:  My name is Rebekah Tennis and I love design.  I love paper, the way it feels, its weight and texture.  I love extra special touches on little things: homemade tags on gift-wrap, old stamps on an envelope, and twine on nearly everything.

My husband, business partner and all-around solid rock Matt would probably tell you that he likes tools - lots of 'em, finding the perfect way to do something, taking things apart, and precision in everything. 

So you might as well have guessed by now... we are the perfect match for an old letterpress studio. Together we farm rice and have a small but adorable three-year old son, Cameron, and a chubby one year old, Lance.  This keeps us fairly busy, but whenever we have a spare moment, we crank up our 102 year old Chandler and Price platen press and pull some prints. 

There's more, oh yes, there IS more - but that's what this blog is for.  Take a look around, get to know us, our great town of Chico, California and our beautiful presses.

fall decor: { glamorganic }

And here organic refers to naturalness of shape, form and texture, not USDA certification of food or anything else. I’ve been enjoying this style for...

master bathroom {f.a.q.}

refinishing furniture… again.

Once upon a time, there was a girl with a pool (which she has no longer).  A pool which had no outdoor furniture to set by it.  The budget was tight, she needed to find a really good deal for furniture.  Enter Safeway (yeah, the grocery store).  Better known to some of you So. Cal...
