Best of 2016: Editors’ Faves

This might be the hardest task we editors do all year long because we generally really love what we publish! That said, Jaime, Gregory, and I did our best to pull just three of our favorites (some of us, >>JAIME<<, just couldn’t narrow it down!), many of which didn’t make it into the end-of-the-year or top 10 best posts. Take a look back as we revisit them now.

Jaime’s Faves

It was too hard for me to pick just three so here is a mix of stuff I did that I loved doing, and posts I loved:

A Renewed Classic Eichler by Klopf Architecture
Eichler homes are housing perfection to me and when someone, like the architects at Klopf, lovingly restore and renovate them it makes my heart even happier.

This combines my love of Audi cars with my love of skateboarding, so it’s like an answer to all my design fantasies.

EarthRoamer

EarthRoamer

The Coolest Modern RVs, Trailers and Campers
I’ve wanted an EarthRoamer for about 10 years and I’m keeping that dream alive until it happens! There’s something about the idea of being able to hop in a vehicle and just driving to any destination knowing you have somewhere comfortable to sleep that night.

Gregory’s Faves

Biased, since I participated in small part, and the video came out beautifully!
