I took a day trip north to Sea Ranch for the day on Tuesday to see one of my old professors just finished houses. A dream house if I've ever seen one AND I can't share it with you (I know, I know) as they want to submit it to a few high-brow fancy architecture magazines and I think they have a pretty good chance of getting in so I'll be keeping hush hush for now. But while I was in this magical place sharing the day with my professor I learned about a little design shop just north of Sea Ranch in Gualala. A little shop called Placewares with a BIG history. It was unfortunately closed so I could only peek in the windows but I did a little research and it turns out an old friend Andrew Wagner did a little interview with Maynard and Lu Lyndon in Dwell a few years back. So I'll be sending you over there to read it. But it makes me so happy to know this magical little enclave has a little design shop just around the bend. Literally around the bend this is US1 afterall.

Thanks Andrew, I really wanted to chat with them regardless of what was in the shop. But you can bet I'll be back soon enough.
