I’ve been “adulting it” since I was 18 years old…meaning living in a place not owned by my parents, paying my own bills, etc. And, over those 22 years, I’ve learned the things I like and the things I don’t like when it comes to setting up house.

hiding ugly office stuff & hanging sconces
Before I go into today’s post, I have some exiting news! Free Spirit Fabrics has been acquired and that means my fabric lines will still be produced!
