Since Jeff did all of the furniture moving for me last week I have been working on moving back into my office and studio. Don’t worry! I’ve been pacing myself, taking lots of breaks, and working mostly with my left arm. It’s been slow going (like moving one or two books at a time), but I can’t tell you how … Read More
home office plans
I’ve already shared the plans for two spaces we’ll be working on this winter and spring (the guest room and studio) and today, I’m sharing the plans for my home office. This is a space made up of a mix of pieces, most of which were brought from our last house and my former studio. I bought the shelf second-hand off … Read More
picture ledges
There are some decorating decisions you make that look nice and you think they will function well, and then they don’t. Such is the case with a few areas in my studio. I shared the overall plan HERE and we will start rearranging the furniture and working on those larger projects soon, but I’ve started on some of the smaller … Read More
butler’s pantry drawers & the gardenia topiary

I’ll also be working on my home office to address my … Read More
a lifetime supply of almond extract & honey
This week I’ve been working on organizing our kitchen. It’s one of the spaces that has been bugging me the most (organizationally speaking). I hadn’t moved things around since we moved in and, after cooking in this kitchen for a year and a half, it has become clear that some things were put in the wrong place initially. Everything looked … Read More
half-finished stairs
I always have to fight the urge to wait to post something until it’s completely finished. As I shared in yesterday’s post, I went to a concert over the weekend where Jason Gray performed a half-written song. This also brings to mind that some of my favorite pieces in the Musée d’Orsay and the Louvré were those that were simple … Read More
bathroom organizing & cleaning make-up brushes
Just like everyone else in the world, January has me itching to get organized. I am a driven person and that can be a positive thing when it comes to a to-do list, but it can also be a detriment when faced with an entire house to organize and purge. I want to get it all done all at one … Read More
