Please pardon our improvements! Kitchen Details and Design. Proudly coloring outside the lines. June 24, 2009. Posted by kitchendetails under Just cool stuff. Recently I did an interview on Bathonista. Website. Check it out and tell me what you think! But please, no brick throwing for my unforgiving diatribe about golden oak. Just say no to Golden Oak! Keep your friends and family away from it! Don’t walk, run. White rifted oak.about the only oak worth having. June 20, 2009. Design for a dollar. Let̵...

The High Desert Home Companion: Locals work for a better Uganda (Pt.2)
http://highdeserthomecompanion.blogspot.com/2010/06/locals-work-for-better-uganda-pt2.html
Thursday, June 17, 2010. Locals work for a better Uganda (Pt.2). Continued from yesterday’s post. Ugandan President Musevini sat down with Hornbeck, Rawlins and Clay in September 2008. Hornbeck calls Musevini “an economist by education who understands the farmer-owned concept as long as they have a market.” Janet Storton of Sisters was also at the meeting and presented President Musevini with a quilted fabric bag made by the Kapchorwan women she trained through her Sisters of the Heart. KaBuM boasts a sp...

The High Desert Home Companion: October 2010
http://highdeserthomecompanion.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 6, 2010. New options for rustic cabinet hardware. It's nice to see an expanded selection of rustic-styled knobs and pulls by Top Knob. Any of these have that heavy earthy quality that looks at home in the Pacific Northwest:. Finishes shown: Cast Iron and Natural Rust. Top Knobs has updated their website, but I was disappointed to find it kind of clunky to navigate. Their products can be pricey, but they make solid, rather than hollow pieces. Posted by Kit Tosello.

The High Desert Home Companion: May 2010
http://highdeserthomecompanion.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 13, 2010. Don’t Cry Over Spalted Wood. On a recent trip to the sawdust-laden shop where Ben and Craig turn hunks of wood into fine furniture and cabinet boxes, I peer around. I survey several work benches where carcases in various stages lay like patients on gurneys. I ask the guys, as I always do, “Whatcha workin on? They tell me who they’re making a bookcase for and how they plan to detail a coffee table. We discuss a hutch project we’re collaborating on. 8221; I ask. And the Oak, Tanoak ...

The High Desert Home Companion: Ode to Color Joy
http://highdeserthomecompanion.blogspot.com/2010/04/ode-to-color-joy.html
Thursday, April 8, 2010. Ode to Color Joy. It snowed here on Easter. Egg hunts were moved indoors at the last minute. Yesterday was a sunny 60 degree mood-lifter. Today the ground and sky are a matching shade of white. Another perfect April day in Central Oregon—for scanning old family photos and writing blog posts! A hop, skip and a jump over the Cascades, the Woodburn Tulip Festival. Website for a list of upcoming activities and live entertainment. Posted by Kit Tosello. April 8, 2010 at 7:06 PM. Great...

The High Desert Home Companion: Locals work for a better Uganda (Pt.1)
http://highdeserthomecompanion.blogspot.com/2010/06/locals-work-for-better-uganda-pt1.html
Wednesday, June 16, 2010. Locals work for a better Uganda (Pt.1). John Hornbeck at Testimony School Dedication 2007. Like a great cup of coffee, the now full-bodied relationship between Sisters and Uganda began with fresh water. Seven years ago, a team from Sisters Community Church led by pastor Tim Kizziar in cooperation with All Nations Ministries, ventured to a desolated village in Eastern Uganda to offer clean water and spiritual hope. Hornbeck and Rawlins represent hundreds of church members who emb...

The High Desert Home Companion: December 2009
http://highdeserthomecompanion.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 31, 2009. It's a Smaller World After All. I have two reflections on this last day of the year. First, as I look back on 2009 I'm struck that it's a smaller world after all. It's a smaller world when I can include folks from every reach of the globe in my daily, real-time Twitter-sphere. It's a smaller world when elementary school chums and co-workers from decades ago re-emerge and re-enter my life via Facebook. With strangers and folks from faraway lands. Retrospection makes me feel st...

The High Desert Home Companion: On Blues, Bundt Cake and Benevolence
http://highdeserthomecompanion.blogspot.com/2010/04/on-blues-bundt-cake-and-benevolence.html
Monday, April 19, 2010. On Blues, Bundt Cake and Benevolence. In a barn, on a meadow, in the middle of a pine forest, Sisters locals gathered on a mild April night to help out a friend. Some folks know Gary Oldham from church; others ride with him on the Sisters Cycling Team. Still others were helped into a home mortgage over the many years that Gary has provided that service to the community. Grateful teens, better off for being fed and mentored at the Oldham home, sat front and center. This blogger was...
