1970 kitchen renovation | what didn’t make it & slow decisions
A final kitchen reveal is coming! The window was trimmed out over the weekend and I worked on sanding and priming today. The sconces that flank the window will be installed on Thursday and then we’re just down to some finishing touches. Jeff and I also need to build a cover for the doorbell and […]
decorating with shells in the garden
I have loved collecting shells since I was a little girl. Anytime we went to the beach, my Oma and mom would take walks and collect lady’s ears, olive shells, whelks, sand dollars, and whatever caught their eye. I remember shells drying on the deck railing of the beach house and we would spend a […]

It’s the post you’ve been waiting for! Well, some of you have been asking about the window, so this post is for you.

I wanted to write this post a few weeks ago, but I kept putting it off because I’ve had so many fun things to share. I am glad this post was pushed back, though, because it gave me a chance to really use our cabinets and to give a report on how we like the […]
thrifted teak patio lounge chairs
When I shared the ironstone breadbox last week, I teased that I found something even better during my next outing to some thrift and antique stores. What I found wasn’t as rare, but it’s something I’ve been hunting for and I scored big time. My mom and I have been enjoying going out together to […]
July 2023 Original Art Sale Preview
It all started with a vote on my Instagram Stories a few weeks ago. I asked my followers what genre of paintings they would like to see more of and animals topped out the poll. I have pressed into still life and landscapes so far this year, so animals seemed like a good direction and, […]
