Last Saturday I attended the last Sunset Celebration weekend at Sunset Magazine's Menlo Park Headquarters. They're in the process of moving their headquarters over to Oakland's Jack London Square. I'm sad to see them go but they did one hell of a job sending themselves off this year! I was looking forward to touring the Sunset New Backyard cottage, the feature home during the weekend event. They partnered with New Avenue for this 400 sq. /ft. home. I was very impressed with the use of space and I got a lot of great ideas for our shed ... Read more...
