July 2020 Favorite Books of the Week
Well, here we are in September talking about my favorite books in July! Well, that’s just how it goes sometimes. I’ve been running a little behind lately on things that can be delayed, so I can focus on things that are more pressing or important.

studio chair slipcover
I wasn’t able to get my post up yesterday, because I was shooting a local home in Rochester. It was such a fun day! I love photoshoots, styling, tweaking, etc. Anyway, today I’m going to share about a slipcover I made for my studio desk chair. Remember this desk chair that I got a couple […]
makeover in a month | home office makeover reveal

antique-style mirrors for the master bedroom
