Naglee Park Offers A Historic Home Tour

sjwc San Jose Women’s Club is hosting a home tour of historic Naglee Park. This is a wonderful neighbor filled with amazing architecture. There are five homes ready for their close-up this year. On the tour you will enjoy Neoclassical, Arts and Crafts and an eclectic Shingle Style. All of the homes are walking distance from the Women’s Club and there is free street parking for the event. Architect George Espinola will speak at 1:30 pm. Refreshments will be available.

All proceeds from the tour are dedicated towards renovating the original electrical elements of the clubhouse and expanding its capacity to meet the needs of the 21st century. The group’s goal is to make the San Jose Woman’s Club a performing arts venue for the city by upgrading the stage lighting and heating system, and adding air conditioning and wiring for modern technology. You can buy tickets here or Lookiloos is happy to offer two pairs of tickets to see these spectacular homes. So, if you’d love to see these wonderful homes all you need to do is leave a comment. Tell us why you are a “Lookiloo”. The tour is Saturday, April 24th from 10 am to 4:30 pm. We will announce the winner Friday April 23rd at 5:00pm.

Sunday #4

I had brunch with a friend a while back at the California Cafe in Los Gatos. Had the best crab melt ever! I’ve re-created them for my family. And everyone—well, almost everyone loves them. I only changed the bread California Cafe’s version uses brioche. I use sweet french bread. I’ve even used this recipe as [...]

Small Bathroom Remodel: We Need Help!

Ever since my husband took the sledgehammer to the shower eight years ago, the rest of the master bathroom has, like an unhappy housewife, “let herself go.” It’s time for a makeover. We need your ideas!

Kids Room Remodel Starts with Paint

I fell in love with the charm of this cottage home near downtown Campbell. Who wouldn’t? When you can walk to the best Farmer’s Market in the Bay Area (my personal opinion) every Sunday morning.

First off, this garden is amazing. Not fussy at all, but filled with wonderful color and soft lines. I went straight home to figure out what needed to change in my own yard. After two garden shop stops and some $$$ I’m on my way. Don’t worry Joni I’m coming down to Green Thumb later [...]

This cottage is full of classic charm. The wall of windows draws you in. It feels as if you are living in the treetops. The outdoor living areas are beautiful and relaxing. I can easily picture myself sipping on coffee or a glass of wine—depending on time of day! I have been trying to achieve [...]
