the winner of the debate
If you’re up to speed on my living room, you know that I have been pondering taking down the curtains in the living and dining room. Yesterday, after this photo shoot, I took them down… The sunlight poured in and it was so bright and wonderful. I was convinced that I would go drape-free. […]
updating the living room
It’s been a tough week to get into a groove for me. On Monday, we took the boys to Hershey Park to squeeze some fun into the last days of summer. The boys were home on Tuesday, which was a day filled with cleaning, laundry, packing book bags and getting ready to start the school […]

curtains or no curtains

filming, look books & a gift
Today Kriste, Jeff and I worked on making some more milk paint how-to videos. One of them involved a plume of Tricycle milk paint and some giggles, but that’s the kind of stuff that’s entertaining and shows that mixing milk paint shouldn’t be taken too seriously.
