A Tiffany-style stained glass lamp glows with artistry inside the historic Doolan-Larson Building at the corner of Haight and Ashbury in San Francisco. The lamp’s dome-shaped shade, pieced together in a mosaic of golden glass tiles, bursts to life with a border of bold red flowers and green foliage, capturing the spirit of early 20th-century decorative design. Its elegant metal base, with fluid Art Nouveau curves, contrasts beautifully with the handcrafted glasswork above.
The setting reveals even more layers of character: the lamp rests on a worn wooden table near a window framed by Venetian blinds, while patterned textiles and vintage carpets form the backdrop. Together, these details transport visitors into a space that celebrates both the city’s architectural heritage and its countercultural legacy. As one of the many preserved interiors within the Doolan-Larson Building, this vignette speaks to the building’s blend of Victorian roots and eclectic, lived-in warmth. It’s a reminder that history is not only in the walls, but also in the objects that light them.
Soft light radiates from this vintage-style wall sconce, its amber glass shade casting a golden warmth that transforms the space around it. The hand-forged metalwork, elegant curve, and delicate petal form reflect the artistry of classic design—a meeting of function and beauty. The weathered wall behind it adds texture and depth, enhancing the intimate, nostalgic atmosphere. Whether in a quiet inn, an old-world café, or a thoughtfully restored home, this lamp evokes the charm of craftsmanship that endures. It’s not just illumination—it’s a reminder that light itself can be an act of art.

DESIGN DETAILS
I've always enjoyed the shape of the Moravian star, so I have come out with a mini collection in the vein of a more fantasy / vintage look. For Syndicate Sunday I have 4 colourations of this type of style in ceiling pendant form and each pack comes with 12 lights. Basically you are getting 4 chain lengths in 3 overall light sizes so you can choose based on your ceiling height. The lights have an on/off touch function with subtle glow, full brightness, and ambient environmental lighting included to offer more realism. You can mix and match these as well for colour, size and lengths. These are an unique option if you are wanting a different light style in your space.
Tucked away beneath the eaves of the historic Doolan-Larson Building at the corner of Haight and Ashbury Streets in San Francisco, this narrow wooden staircase offers a quiet moment of intimacy within a structure that has witnessed generations of countercultural history. The well-worn treads, smooth from decades of use, tell a story of residents, musicians, and dreamers climbing toward the attic rooms above—spaces that once looked out on the heart of the Haight-Ashbury revolution. The balusters and railings, crafted from dark-stained wood, bear the subtle patina of time: scratches, dents, and sun-faded varnish that together form a tactile record of lived experience.
The Doolan-Larson Building itself, completed in 1903, is one of San Francisco’s most culturally significant landmarks. During the 1960s, it served as a vibrant crossroads of art, activism, and music, housing both the legendary Mnasidika boutique and, later, the offices of the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic. Its Victorian structure has survived earthquakes, waves of cultural change, and even periods of near-abandonment, emerging today as a preserved monument to the spirit of the city. Inside, many original architectural details remain intact: tongue-and-groove floors, Douglas fir trim, and handmade joinery that reflect the craftsmanship of early 20th-century builders.
This staircase, captured in soft afternoon light, embodies the texture of memory that defines the Doolan-Larson interior. The interplay between light and shadow along the railing reveals a quiet grace—proof that beauty in architecture often resides not in ornament but in endurance. One can almost imagine Norman Larson himself climbing these steps to the attic, where records once spun and ideas about music, peace, and social change took form.
Today, the building is under the stewardship of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, ensuring that future generations can continue to experience its layered history. The Doolan-Larson Building is more than a relic; it’s a living archive of San Francisco’s creative soul. And this modest staircase—its surfaces nicked by time yet glowing with life—serves as a silent invitation to ascend, explore, and reflect on the stories still echoing between its walls.

Walking the streets of Laguna Beach early one morning I spotted this industrial looking overhead light inside an unmarked building. I really liked the softness of the overall illumination, especially how it accented the details at the top. I also liked how it reflected off of the inside of the metal housing.

Ruth Asawa’s delicate wire sculptures float like living geometry in this quiet corner of SFMOMA. Suspended in space, they cast dreamy shadows on the white walls behind them, doubling their presence in soft, ephemeral forms. Asawa’s hand-woven mesh shapes evoke seed pods, water droplets, and organic rhythms—a dance between nature and abstraction. The installation invites you to slow down, look closely, and feel the grace in repetition. It’s a deeply human act of seeing: noticing the way light passes through form, the space between gestures, the hush of a museum moment where art breathes in stillness.
The young couple and their two little boys have a really nice and bright Christmas display at their house. Wonderful to see each night!
As per some comments before I added some flash to this but also a 5 exp blend with enfuse. A jaw dropper, meaning holy #@*& how do I pull this off!
And yes, the beams really were green.
An A stock blind box with a bit of history (and in absolutely mint condition). 5090 was one unit of the last Chesham shuttle train.
Loving the genuine Del Monte sticker there. Just adds to the authenticity.
