James Hubbell House

Day with Lindley

My lovely wife knows me best and being that we aren’t much for birthday presents she took it upon herself to plan a day with me to see the wonderful world of James Hubbell. Located about 90 mins from San Diego, nestled in the hills of Julian/Santa Isabella sits a crafted wonder. James, his wife and small family moved onto the property in the late 50’s and has spent the last 60 years making it a true masterpiece.

Imperfects Store

It all begins with an idea.

I had the pleasure of working with Imperfects in San Diego and creating a few sculptural pieces for there showroom a bit ago.

Being that the entire store was already an eclectic vibe of surf/skate/clothing/odds and ends my stuff fit right in. I created a showroom table in claro walnut and charred , coffee table and few little sculptures. This is one of my favorite stores in town and was honored to be apart of the creative flow. If you’re in Liberty Station, Point Loma, definitely worth a visit https://www.imperfects.co/ photos by the master of the lens https://www.titushaug.com/
