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 two-year old son, Cameron.  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.

there’s a flea on the hair on the wart on the frog…

Okay, enough cheesy flea quotes. Cameron loves that song though, almost as much as Matt does. We left the first Alameda flea market post yesterday with you dangling at lunch time. Back in the game now, you won’t want to miss the junk (i.e. rubbish, odds and ends, jumble, unwanted goods, castoffs, general) that can...

around the house: the nursery.

Once upon a time, I started blogging bits about our home decor and remodel.  I showed you a few rooms from our home:  the living room (in several seasons), the kitchen (and its remodel), the outside, and most recently, our guest and master bath remodels. But we do have other spaces I haven’t shown you...

master bathroom {f.a.q.}

Way, way back when, I promised you details on our master bathroom remodel (remember, the one we started in January?).  Well, it’s been more than a month, and I have yet to produce anything for you.  What’s more, I haven’t even posted the after photos on THIS blog (although I had the joy of sharing...

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...
