painted porch bench
I spent the day painting cabinets, again! I am really ready to be done with that project, but I’m nearing the finish line. I should have the cabinets around the fridge put back together tomorrow.

studio transformation | part 4
We’re almost there! The studio is nearing completion and I am so excited to be able to start using this space now that it’s insulated, climate-controlled, and the walls are back on!
