A Fresh Look & New Prints
Notice anything different? I’m sure you do because my site got a complete overhaul! My business has changed quite a bit over the past few years and it was time for the website, blog, and online shop to reflect those changes. In addition, I wanted to make it easier to navigate all of the content […]
Home Stories | book review
Now, I have to confess right from the start that I am a little bit bias about this book. Months ago, when it was still in the works, I was asked by Kim to write an endorsement, which I gladly did. I had a chance at that time to peruse the book and I absolutely […]
five things | quick & easy decorating ideas for spring
As I’ve shared many times here on my blog, I don’t do a ton of seasonal or holiday decorating. I would just rather spend my decorating dollars on things I can use all the time instead of pieces that have a clear theme or window of time to be used. But, I do think there […]

This whole theme thing is going to be pretty loose, anyway, but I loved how we were working on projects together throughout February – my posts encouraging you and your comments encouraging me. It felt like more of a conversation […]
February 2021 Favorites
So far, this year has been fast and full. February seems like it was ages ago, even though it was just three weeks! Does anyone else feel that way? Anyway, February was a busy month, focused on organizing closets, cupboards, and drawers, which led to doing random projects that have been hanging out on my […]
