foyer & half bath updates
I think foyer makeovers are underrated. It’s a space that’s often neglected or at the bottom of the to-do list because it’s just a passthrough. You simply walk through it to get to a room where you actually spend your time. The thing about a foyer, though, is it’s the first thing you see when […]
the two gifts
First off, thank you so much for all of the beautiful comments on my last post. Your stories and words were an encouragement to me. There are definitely drawbacks to the online world, but there is also a lot of good to be found and this community of kindred spirits definitely falls on the good […]
a new standard of measurement
It’s that time of year where we get our planners out and start to fill the pages with the goals and dreams and to-dos for next year. And, as I’ve been pondering my own 2019 and all of the promise it holds, I’ve been thinking about the push for more that is so prevalent in […]

hand painted bread sign
Let me start off by saying this was supposed to be a tutorial, but it won’t be. The reason is that I mindlessly deleted all of the process photos!! Ah! I try to keep my camera card “uncluttered”, so I delete all files once they are uploaded. Well, I got a little overenthusiastic in my […]
Christmas Dining Room 2018
I shared my dining room tree early last week, but it was before I really had the chance to dig into decorating for Christmas. Last week, I took a lot of time to slowly work on our main living spaces and, in the process, I decided I wanted to rework some things in the dining […]
