Notes on homes, objects, memory, and the
beauty of a life well lived.

As we settle into the new year, we’re taking note of a few trends starting to roll back around. At Rincon Road, we’re after the kind of spaces that foster a deep connection with our clients’ past and present – a unique timelessness that doesn’t come and go.

Family heirloom or dumpster dive? If it’s got good bones, who cares! Yes, I have both. And both have history and stories to tell which make them even more fun, am I right?
