Remember my design breakthrough in the master bedroom that I shared a few weeks ago? Well, I’ve been moving forward…little steps to make the plan happen. And it feels good. It’s a room that’s had me stuck for a while and I’m glad to have a clear direction that I’m excited about. It’s definitely been a lesson in patience and … Read More
hanging the antique birdcage
Even if decorating comes naturally and you have a great space to work with, there is still the possibility of getting stuck. It’s just normal and a natural part of the creative process. Some things come easily and others take more thought, time, and discovery. Such has been the case with this corner in my living room. I think this … Read More
Delta H2Okinetic® In2ition® Shower Review
Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Delta. As always all words and opinions are honest and my own. Last summer, I gave the boy’s bathroom a refresh. It wasn’t a total overhaul, but simple, inexpensive changes that made a huge difference! While I would love to do a custom-built tile surround, install a deeper tub, and a few other things, … Read More
“Boxwood” Green Studio Doors
Last week, I took some time to work on the studio doors.

painted checkerboard studio floor reveal
Well, it involved a lot of patience, crawling around on the floor, tape (3 rolls), and dry time, but the painted checkerboard floors in the studio are finally finished! And I absolutely love them! I would say I wished I had done them initially when we first moved in, but I’m glad I had some time to live with the … Read More
painting the other side of the studio floor…
Last week, I was determined to get the studio floor finished. That’s one of the difficult things about doing projects in stages. It’s shiny and new at the outset, but when you only have about four feet to finish, it’s hard to get motivated. It’s not exciting any longer and it’s somewhat anticlimactic. But, it was pretty obvious that the … Read More
