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.

master bathroom { before }

Here are the “before” pictures of our master bath!  Actually, they’re almost during pictures, because the tile removal had started and all of the towels etc had been cleared out when I thought “Oh no, I’ve never photographed this bathroom before, and it’s almost gone!!” So, I snapped a few pics in a hurry while...

Howdy to you all on this rainy yet fine MLK day!
I’m back to give you a glimpse of the guest bath plans I alluded to earlier. If you recall (and you should be able to because it was, well, only two posts ago) we are attempting the impossible and biting off two bathroom renovations at...

it’s bathtime.

Happy 2010, folks!!  We’re back, drummed up, ready to go, and have already leapt (WordPress doesn’t think this is a word.  Think again, great blog machine!!) both feet first into the new year.
It’s only the 7th day of this fine new decade, but we are already currently working on: weddings, business cards, a special...

and up ahead we see…

Hi there, folks.  It’s Monday… and Mondays will be Mondays… but a Monday after a holiday weekend, now that’s a real Monday. {huh?} Oh yes, the caffeine is kicking in.
I’m needing inspiration today… we are cleaning the shop, which is ultra-uber-massively messy ever since we moved in our latest press about two weeks ago.  I...

{feels like autumn now.}

Here’s the big reveal!!!
Um, okay it’s not that big.  I moved a few things around, took a couple things away, added other things, and cozied everything in general a bit.  But let’s take a look anyway!
That’s the overview!  Hopefully warm and cozy and bright and neutral.  Now onto my favorite part, the vignettes…

fall decor… the process.

Is it Friday already?  Crazy!  I’ve got three posts to toss your way today… that’s right, THREE, my friends.  I promised some fall decor, right?  And here I am delivering.
I thought it might be fun to give a glimpse of the “in-between” stage – my house looked like this for two whole days.  See, these...
