the coexistence of projects & dinner
Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Blue Apron. As always, all words and opinions shared here are honest and my own. Would you believe that I made a dinner like this… …when this kind of thing was going on in my house? Well, I did! I had an ambitious to-do wish list while my parents […]

I still have more of the studio transformation to share, but let’s take a break from that and continue the tour of my new house. If you missed it, here are tours of the kitchen, living room, front porch, and my work spaces. Today, I’m going to show you the dining room. This is […]

studio transformation | part 1
Believe it or not, we’re not trying to get the entire house completed in two weeks! We are making a push, though, to get a bunch of big things checked off the to-do list. One of those big things is painting the studio…all of it. The walls, the floor, the ceiling, the trim. Buckets and […]
