office details
Welp, yesterday was yet another snow day in Minnesota! We didn’t have much snow through December and even into January, but we have been having one of the snowiest Februarys on record and another storm is expected this weekend. I actually love getting snow, but I am getting weary of having everyone home during the […]
the other side of the studio
I showed the right side of the studio in yesterday’s post and today, as promised, I’m sharing the left side. This side is tricky, because of all of the windows, the mini-split (heating & cooling unit), and the fact that it’s the part of the room that’s most visible from the kitchen. From the moment […]
the bookcase & the hardware cabinet
Today, I wanted to show you how the marriage between the hardware cabinet and craigslist bookshelf look in the studio now that the piece had been organized and styled. When I first sketched out the idea, I thought it might work and it was at least worth trying. There was some doubt, though! When the […]

Yesterday, Jeff made the ultimate show of love by moving furniture for me! Since I have only one fully functioning arm, Jeff enrolled the help of a friend to move six pieces of furniture around our house. Most of the pieces were moved from the studio to the office or the office to the studio, […]

five recliners I’d have in my house
As many of you know, I’ve been having issues with my right shoulder for a couple of weeks. At first, it just slowed me down a bit, but then it stopped me in my tracks as the pain intensified and started involving my bicep. My days and nights have been focused on pain management and […]
home office plans
I’ve already shared the plans for two spaces we’ll be working on this winter and spring (the guest room and studio) and today, I’m sharing the plans for my home office. This is a space made up of a mix of pieces, most of which were brought from our last house and my former studio. I […]
