I was combing through some photos taken earlier this year while I was working on cleaning up my hard drive and making backups and I realized I had pictures of a project that I never shared! I took the picture right before my mom visited in March, so there were more exciting things to write about, like the guest room … Read More
new pulls for my desk
I just can’t leave well enough alone. That quality is what actually led me into decorating in the first place, so I am thankful for it, but it does mean I’m always looking for ways to customize and/or improve something even when they are perfectly fine as is. Well, one thing I wanted to customize as soon as it was … Read More

That means I need to hunker down and start working on colorways for the second collection again. I’m so excited that Bunnies Birds & Blooms will be available, but I’m even more excited … Read More
