Spring Into Renewal: Transform Your Home with Fresh Ideas
Dear Readers,
Spring is in the air, and with it comes the natural urge to refresh, renew, and create spaces that energize and inspire us. This month, our issue is dedicated to all things home, whether that’s a complete redesign or simply adding thoughtful touches that make your space feel uniquely yours.
This month, we’re thrilled to feature interior designer Nicole Salceda on our cover. Nicole owns Eye for Pretty, an interior design studio based in Danville (www.instagram.com/eyeforpretty). She shares her best tips for breathing new life into your home each season. Her advice is refreshingly practical. Whether you’re adding fresh greenery or taking your time to curate unique finds, Nicole reminds us that our homes should tell our story and reflect the people we love.
This issue also features an inspiring story that came about serendipitously. One rainy afternoon, I happened across Elsie Green, a beautifully curated space hidden away near Ygnacio Valley High School. What I discovered was more than just a store—it was a reflection of passion and artistry, filled with vintage treasures from France. From hand-knotted rugs to sparkling vintage glassware, these pieces add warmth, charm, and character to any home. It’s a reminder that sometimes the best finds are waiting right around the corner—you just have to be curious enough to take a peek.
Rounding out this issue, we have an enlightening piece on feng shui, written by my talented friend Janie Basile, who lights up any room she’s in with her own chi (energy). With roots in ancient China, feng shui offers timeless principles that help us create balance and flow in our homes. Whether it’s decluttering to give your home’s energy room to breathe or incorporating the five elements for harmony, these simple adjustments can make a world of difference.
We believe that home is where life happens. It’s where we gather with friends, nurture our families, and create memories. I hope this issue inspires you to rethink your spaces, try something new, and, most importantly, create a home that energizes you every day.

EYE FOR PRETTY'S NICOLE SALCEDA’S TIPS TO TRANSFORMING YOUR SPACE
Nicole Salceda's journey into interior design stemmed from her passion for creating polished yet functional spaces that are accessible. This former elementary school teacher pursued her vision to bring those designs to life. What began with a small client base quickly grew into an impressive collection of homes, each showcasing her signature warm minimalist aesthetic.
ARTICLE PROVIDED BY NICOLE SALCEDA | PHOTOGRAPHY BY JESSICA BRYDSON PHOTOGRAPHY
One of Nicole's favorite projects was transforming her backyard into a space for various activities and entertainment. With a new deck, a large pool and patio, an outdoor fireplace, and a wellness area added, the once underutilized, expansive yard has become an entertainer's paradise.
With over 355,000 followers on her Instagram page @eyeforpretty, Nicole firmly believes that a home is more than just a space; it's a feeling.
"As soon as you enter the door, there are many emotions your space can and should evoke," says Nicole. "For me, it's one of comfort, security, and calmness, especially with our busy lifestyles."
This Danville-based designer firmly believes in protecting sanity and making your home a sanctuary.
However, decorating and designing a space can sometimes be overwhelming. In this issue, Nicole shares some tips to help you start transforming your sanctuary.
"AS SOON AS YOU ENTER THE DOOR, THERE ARE MANY EMOTIONS YOUR SPACE CAN AND SHOULD EVOKE," SAYS NICOLE.
START WITH A CLEAN SLATE
Nicole says taking down everything and putting it away lets you see a space with fresh eyes. This will help you determine what you liked or disliked about the old space and give you a new perspective.
ADD THE BIG ITEMS FIRST
One of the biggest mistakes Nicole often sees in decorating is when people buy lots of little items and wonder why they aren't filling a space or looking right.
"You need a few larger items to ground the space and serve as a focal point,"
says Nicole. Whether it's an oversized vase or a piece of art, start with the most impactful items.
LAYER, LAYER, LAYER!
Don't stop once you've added some seasonal or year-round decor! Step back and see what else you can add.
"Now, I am not suggesting you overdo it. In fact, I want you to do the opposite," says Nicole. "Less is more! But I want you to think about what else would make sense to complete the space."
Nicole says adding greenery to vases or a throw blanket on the sofa can help enhance
a space. You can also add family photos and personalized items to the vignette.
BRING IN SOME LIFE
A little live greenery goes a long way. This could be branches from your backyard or a small house plant you bought at the nursery.
"I think some faux greenery is ok, but be very careful. Most of it can look fake and cheapen your overall home," says Nicole.
If you go the faux route, look for stems with natural tones that mimic the real thing, such as grays, greens, and creams.
TAKE YOUR TIME
Many people buy everything from the same store all at once when they decorate their spaces, but Nicole believes in adding items that reflect their lifestyle and personality. The designer believes things look better when they are "collected and layered."
"If you're going to buy everything from Target, make sure you add personal items from your home," she says. "You don't want it to look like an advertisement. Your home should always be a reflection of you and the people you love who live in it."
Nicole leads a carefully selected team of talented individuals who collaborate to create inspiring spaces. They blend vintage, modern, handmade, and thrifted elements to create simple yet captivating homes. Each thoughtful detail reflects Nicole's unique ability to harmonize a space and showcases her keen eye for design.

a stroll through history
Discover Walnut Creek's Past on a Walking Tour
ARTICLE BY LINDA DITCH
PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED BY
WALNUT CREEK HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Living in an area full of attractions makes it easy to miss the fascinating history around you every day. The Walnut Creek Historical Society has an answer to that problem with monthly downtown historical walks. These tours will show you how to recognize the town's past in today's modern buildings.
The Historical Society's docent, Linda Scotting, has led tours for the past 10 years. She says they started as educational programs for third-grade students studying local history. From there, they morphed into the monthly tours for adults.
She notes tours with the adults enable the docents to get into detailed explanations and statistics compared to the younger participants.
"What's fun is that you get people who remember some of the old businesses and places downtown. But I think everybody who comes on the tour is amazed by the history," she says. "It's like, how much do you really take in when you go through downtown?"
Each tour participant gets a free informational booklet made possible by a Walnut Creek Civic Pride Foundation grant. Inside are photos of the historic buildings, some of which you can still recognize.
For example, a visit to the new Model Bakery on North Main Street will take you to the oldest commercial building in Walnut Creek. The first structure on that site was built around 1861, and it became a mercantile business in 1872. That earlier building was destroyed by a fire in 1879 and rebuilt the following year. Since then, it's been a grocery and liquor store, restaurants, and now, a bakery.
Also, the next time you visit the Havana restaurant at 1516 Bonanza, take a closer look at the building. Built in 1926, it was Walnut Creek's first fire station. Linda points out that the top of the building is precisely the same, even though extensions were added on both sides.
Linda shared her experience about a family that came on the tour a few years ago. "The matriarch of the family said, 'My godmother was the wife of the fire captain, and I had my ninth birthday party in that fire station.'"
The tour also highlights past notable members of the Walnut Creek community. One stop is at the former home of Dr. Claude Leech and his wife, Eva. The house was built in 1873, making it the oldest residential structure in downtown. The couple occupied the house starting in 1904, which also served as Claude’s practice. He was the town doctor for 36 years, including during the 1918 flu pandemic.
"There are two front doors because the doctor lived upstairs, and his clinic was downstairs. So, patients walked into the right door to go to the clinic and not into his apartment. We ask the children, 'What difference can you see between the two doors?' They start counting the windowpanes or think one has a mail slot, but it's more obvious. One door has a brass knob, and the other has a glass one," says Linda.
The walking tours take place every second Saturday from March through October. Each lasts 60 to 90 minutes and covers about six blocks of the downtown area. There are places to sit along the way for those who need a break from standing.
The walking tours are free, but registration and tickets are required, which can be obtained at wchistory. org. Check-in for the tour begins at 9 a.m. at the Liberty Bell Plaza fountain. All ages and abilities are welcome.

Elsie Green isn't just a shop—it's a philosophy. This family-run business transforms homes with thoughtfully curated vintage pieces while championing eco-conscious living. In this issue, we speak to Laurie Furber, the founder and owner of Elsie Green, whose journey from aspiring museum curator to merchandising maven inspired by a business built on passion and family.
This family-run business transforms homes with thoughtfully curated vintage pieces while championing eco-conscious living.
1) TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR BACKGROUND. WHAT MADE YOU LEAVE THE CORPORATE WORLD TO START ELSIE GREEN WITH YOUR BUSINESS PARTNER, JP?
I thought I'd be a museum curator, but after graduating with my Bachelor of Fine Arts, I thought I'd take a year off and make some money before getting my Masters in Arts Administration. During that break, I found merchandising, and now I'm a curator of a different sort.
I worked for three big companies, each started by one man with a passion—Eddie Bauer, Walt Disney, and Williams-Sonoma. Those were all great experiences, and they made me feel like I would like to start
my own business someday to share my passion with a group of like-minded people.
2) WHAT IS THE STORY AND INSPIRATION BEHIND THE NAME ELSIE GREEN?
We wanted the name of the company to feel like there's a real person at the heart of it. Elsie is a derivative of my first and middle initials, LC, and Green is a note to our sustainable ethos – everything in the collection is sustainable in some way.
While working for Pottery Barn, I felt there was a white space in the market for a sustainable home line that was neither too modern nor too rustic. At the heart of the collection would be vintage items collected from France, where sustainability is woven into daily life.
3) HOW DO YOU FIND INSPIRATION IN CURATING A SPACE?
Everywhere! I always have my eyes open when I'm here in San Francisco or traveling the world, looking for ideas that can flourish into something bigger. I like hotels for inspiration on how to arrange furniture, restaurants for inspiration on setting a mood, museums for inspiration on wall color, and how to hang art. And I'm always looking for inspiration for a memorable service experience wherever I go.
4) WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COUNTRY TO VISIT TO FIND SUSTAINABLE, VINTAGE GOODS?
France! I have a small group of French friends who have beautiful taste, so I always find the best things there. It's tricky to find markets or villages where the rest of the world is not shopping, so I like to tap into my network to find new places to visit on each shopping trip.
5) WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE ITEMS YOU'VE FOUND WHILE TRAVELING?
I have a fascination with vintage glassware, so I always dive deep into those categories when I travel. I found a gorgeous set of Baccarat glassware that I gifted a good friend for her wedding, and I have a vintage Baccarat ashtray on my bathroom vanity that holds my favorite red rose soap. I could peruse the different styles and shapes of glassware for hours. And I always add to my art collection when I'm traveling. My favorite new acquisition is a 1954 Jean Cocteau portrait drawing I found in a flea market in Paris. Walking into a crowded market stall and finding the one perfect treasure that I know our customers will love is a real pleasure for me. And it's a treat to find something fun for myself sometimes, too.

“Walking into a crowded market stall and finding the one perfect treasure that I know our customers will love is a real pleasure for me. And it's a treat to find something fun for myself sometimes, too.”
HERE ARE SOME TIPS FROM LAURIE TO INCORPORATE VINTAGE FINDS IN YOUR MODERN HOMES.
Rugs:
Consider incorporating a vintage rug to bring depth and character to a modern home. Beautifully aged Moroccan and Turkish rugs add warmth and a sense of history to your space, acting as a perfect counterbalance to clean, contemporary lines. Hand-knotted and worn softly over time, these rugs offer rich texture and a unique story, making them an ideal foundation for any well-designed room.
Flatware:
Vintage flatware is an easy way to add charm to your table. The unique patina and detailing make everyday meals feel a little more special. Pair it with modern plates for a collected, effortless look that feels inviting and full of personality.
Glassware:
Add a little sparkle to your table or bar cart with vintage glassware. From delicate etching to unique shapes, each piece has its own charm that makes any drink feel a bit more special. Mix and match with modern pieces for a timeless and effortlessly stylish look.
Upholstery:
Vintage upholstery brings a sense of history and texture to your space, making your furniture feel one-of-a-kind. Whether it's a richly worn leather armchair or a beautifully patterned fabric, these pieces add warmth and personality to any room. Pair them with modern accents for a look that's layered, inviting, and uniquely yours.

Gala to Combat Food Insecurity in Contra Costa County
Hunger and poverty continue to affect many in Contra Costa County, where the high cost of living and the end of pandemic relief have left many struggling to put food on the table. Loaves and Fishes of Contra Costa, a community-based nonprofit organization, has been dedicated to fighting food insecurity in Contra Costa County since 1983. The non-profit has been a steadfast lifeline for many, serving free, nutritious meals to seniors, veterans, families, and the homeless.
This year, Loaves and Fishes' annual fundraising gala, Rock Out Hunger, scheduled for March 29, is more than a celebration—it’s a crucial opportunity to raise funds to enable the non-profit to meet the growing demand for its services. In 2024 alone, Loaves and Fishes experienced a fourfold increase in meal requests, highlighting the escalating challenges low-income households face in the region.
Janette Kennedy, Loaves and Fishes of Contra Costa’s Executive Director of Development and External Relations says the non-profit is thrilled to host the special evening.
“It’s a chance to celebrate our shared successes, recognize the incredible generosity of our community, and commit to making an even greater impact in the fight against hunger,” says Janette. Proceeds from the gala, held at the Blackhawk Country Club, will directly support Loaves and Fishes' programs. These include the Karen Introcaso mobile unit, designed to reach underserved communities. Currently, Loaves and Fishes has five dining rooms that serve the community in Antioch, Martinez, Oakley, Pittsburg, and Walnut Creek. Its dining room in Walnut Creek is at 1860 Trinity Avenue.
Apart from providing hot meals, the nonprofit also distributes groceries and offers a culinary training program to help adults overcome employment barriers. Having served over six million meals, Loaves and Fishes plays a critical role in addressing the rising food insecurity. Last fiscal year, it provided 514,639 meals—a 32% increase from the previous year—and distributed over 260 tons of groceries, supporting Contra Costa’s most vulnerable populations.
As Loaves and Fishes anticipates another challenging year, the organization remains steadfast in its mission to nourish lives. Beyond providing food assistance, it acts as a safety net for individuals and families facing economic hardships. By alleviating the financial burden of food costs, Loaves and Fishes enables families to redirect resources toward housing, healthcare, and other essential needs, thereby reducing the risk of homelessness and financial instability.
Loaves and Fishes seeks individuals, businesses, and organizations to attend the Rock Out Hunger gala or support its vital work through sponsorships and donations. This highly anticipated event will feature a gourmet dinner, engaging live and silent auctions, and lively music and dancing, promising an unforgettable evening for all attendees.

the art of feng shui
Ancient Wisdom for Modern Living Spaces
The art of feng shui originated in China more than 3,000 years ago. While an ancient philosophy, it works exceedingly well in modern life. The premise is simple – when you spend time in spaces that make you feel comfortable and at ease, your outlook is typically more optimistic. Feng shui is not just an ancient philosophy, but a practical tool that helps you focus on the energy or chi in your environment. When incorporated into home design, it creates balance, flow, and beauty, all of which enhance your and your family’s comfort, safety, and overall sense of ease.
THE KEY PRINCIPLES
The following four components provide a framework for creating harmonious living spaces: Chi, or life force, is a fundamental concept in feng shui. It is believed to flow through everything – from spaces to people to objects. Feng shui practitioners use several tools and techniques to enhance the flow of chi, as it’s thought to bring positive energy and harmony to a space.
The bagua map is a key tool in feng shui. When laid over a blueprint of your home, it helps practitioners understand how to optimize the different aspects of life, including health, wealth, career, and relationships. Each section of the map corresponds to a specific area of life, and by focusing on these areas, you can create a more balanced and harmonious living space.
ARTICLE BY JANIE BASILE
The five elements – wood, fire, earth, metal, and water – are associated with certain qualities, colors, and shapes. When balanced in a room, they create the perfect recipe for a cozy yet energized space. This balance and harmony can bring peace and tranquility to your home.
Yin and Yang characterize complementary yet opposing forces that create wholeness when balanced. Yin embodies darker, feminine, and smaller qualities, while Yang represents lighter, masculine, and larger aspects of your home.
FENG SHUI TIPS
• Declutter: This is always the first step! Get rid of broken or unwanted items and organize your closets and belongings. Think of it as giving your home's energy room to dance.
• Fix broken things: Replace burntout bulbs, fix squeaky doors, and repair or remove items that no longer work. Broken or damaged items bring your home’s energy down.
• Beautify your entrance: This is where abundance and positive energy enter your home. Make sure your front door opens easily, and your entryway is welcoming and clutter-free.
• Bring nature in: Live plants, especially ones with rounder and softer leaves (such as the money plant), nourish and bring beauty and serenity to your space.
• Avoid sharp angles: Choose flowing, curved lines over harsh angles in furniture where you can, as sharp corners are believed to create negative energy.
• Incorporate the elements: A mix of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water in each room is one of the most effective ways to create balance in your home.
• Minimize technology: When possible, store electronics out of sight and keep cords tidy.
Unsure where to start? Pick one room or space that bothers you the most and dive in. Be open to new ideas, but ultimately, do what makes sense to you. It’s important that your home reflects your personality and lifestyle, so follow your gut and surround yourself with items and artwork you love. And don’t be afraid to change things up regularly to keep the energy moving.
Janie is studying at the Western School of Feng Shui and completing her final projects to become certified as an essential feng shui practitioner.
