The sculpture garden behind the Lafayette Gallery is closing and will be turned into a parking lot to allow for more parking spots for the new restaurant The Cooperage opening this fall across the way. In June I noted that the Twigs Floral building was getting demolished as well. The good news is that the parking lot in front of the Lafayette Gallery is apparently going to turn into a sitting area, and sculptures may possibly be displayed there if they can be bolted down.
Empty sculpture garden to become a parking lot:
This is the final kitchen to be featured from the Lafayette Juniors Kitchen Tour that took place last month in Lafayette. One cool feature I noticed was a shallow space in the kitchen island being used for grilling tools as you can see in the photo below. Great use of space!
This house, in particular the backyard, is an entertainer’s dream and in fact this is where the luncheon took place. There are so many great, shady spots in the back to hang out and enjoy the scenery.
Check out photos of the backyard after the jump…
Parked outside of See’s Candies in Lafayette last Friday during their grand opening was a 1930 Ford Model A and a 1930 Harley Davidson motorcycle. Instead of a trunk in the back check out the additional row of seats! They had a great spin-the-wheel game with lots of chocolate being handed out. For those living in Lamorinda no need to head out to Walnut Creek for your See’s fix.

The Secret Lives of Native Plants and Animals:
Lafayette Library and Learning Center
3491 Mt Diablo Blvd, Lafayette
Sunday, June 23rd, 2013
1:00pm – 2:30pm | FreeGet ready for this year’s summer outings with a slide presentation and a talk highlighting some little known, and sometimes bizarre tidbits about the native plants and animals we can encounter on our warm weather hikes. From “wait a while” ceanothus to “sexy” coyote bush, “stinky” beetles to love struck “blue bellies”, you may never look at our common trailside companions in quite the same way again!
This program is co-listed with The Lafayette Library and Learning Center and Sustainable Lafayette.
Check out the kitchen utensils above the Back to the Table Cooking School sign (Lafayette), very creative!
New location at 1005 Oak Hill Rd.
Last week I noted that Rossi’s Tennis & Running shop moved to Mt. Diablo Blvd. and now P & L Framing has opened in this location at 1005 Oak Hill Rd. next to where Blockbuster used to be. Their old location on Fiesta Lane is being completely remodeled as the former stores vacate to make room for high-end stores due to Cooperage American Grille opening next door.
