Happy New Year from Home Gig

Baby its Cold Outside

Here on Martha’s Vineyard with January’s arrival, so are frigid temperatures. At Home Gig we understand the value of keeping the fire burning in our airtight woodstove during these unforgiving winter months. A steady supply of firewood can help offset heating costs and is a renewable resource.

Ordered locally from Lickity Split Logs, come mid October, our bounty of well-seasoned firewood is delivered  - stacking not included!

Firewood dumped in a heap won't dry and it won't burn well. Stacked properly, a well-built pile provides ventilation and keeps wood from being disposed to molds or fungus.

We know that there is an art and science to stacking firewood; at Home Gig we like to think that there is a spiritual side to it as well.

So duty calls and ‘a stacking we go….

‘"Wood warms you twice ...once when you cut it and again when you burn it." Henry David Thoreau  - He forgot to mention, when you stack it….!

Who wood (would) have thought wood could look so good and keep you warm and toasty?

Assembling wood isn’t our favorite thing to do- but if it looks nice, Home Gig’s creative team thinks it’s worth the effort!

We love the way it looks when we are done and are inspired by the different and ambitious ways that others stack their wood both inside and outside!

Home Gig on the Road!

This past weekend Home Gig saddled up and hit the road to San Antonio, Texas. Our mission was to explore home styling ideas for our clients. During our free time we were able to see the many attractions that this fun city had to offer. Our trip started with our accommodations in the Roy Rogers Suite, a.k.a. “King of the Cowboys,” at the Menger Hotel, one of the oldest and historic hotels in the southwest. Other highlights of our trip included touring the Riverwalk, sightseeing at the Alamo, eating festive Mexican food, and cheering on the San Antonio Spurs, check out the Jumbotron - Home Gig made it! Throughout this short trip we gathered many local artistic and design inspirations to incorporate into our next home styling gig. 

We thank San Antonio for being such a great host to Home Gig! Next stop, “We’ll be keeping it weird in Austin, Texas!”
