Running a Creative Business | On Sutton Place
I think that stories are a powerful thing. I love hearing a good story about how someone got from point a to point b. There’s something encouraging about it. If she can do it, maybe I could too. I’ve asked some of my friends and fellow entrepreneurs to share their story and now it’s […]
Chalkboard Trophies
I often have trouble leaving things alone. I like to tinker, tweak and put my stamp on things. The latest case in point – these ceramic trophies I found on clearance at Target. I spotted them a while ago and liked the shape, but they seemed off in white ceramic. I guess others […]
new kitchen rug
I love it when I find the perfect thing after I’ve been hunting for it for weeks (sometimes months or years.) Actually, it’s sweet when I find the perfect thing right away, but I do need to practice my patience, so this was a good opportunity to do that. Anyway, I was shopping for basic […]
Upholstered Chair Reveal

Today is a big day! Not only is it election day here in the US, which affects a lot of people, but it’s a big day for me personally. Today is the official release date of my book, Inspired You. The book has actually been available for a couple of weeks, but now it’s widely […]
Makita Drill Review
If I could only have one power tool, I would have no hesitation choosing which one it would be…a drill. No question. Our drill makes an appearance in many of my projects, like this shelf I built for Cottages & Bungalows… (Okay, my husband helped on that one.) …and you can see […]
