the fate of the guest bed

I knew this day would come, but I didn’t think it would be so soon. We’ve always had a full-sized bed in our guest room and it’s always worked just fine, but we’ve had it in the back of our minds for a while that we wanted to upgrade it to a queen. I’ll share more on […]
what I'm working on…

As I shared yesterday, after a week of dealing with a lot of details of doing business, I was really ready to do something creative. So, I headed to the basement to work on some pieces that were waiting for me. The first piece is a great old kitchen cabinet that belongs to Kriste, my online […]

get-out-of the-house-day

Since I work out of my home, most days I’m, well, at home. No surprise there. I’m a homebody, so it really suits me. I could probably stay in the house for a week straight and be totally fine with that. It would drive Jeff nuts, so he’s usually the one who runs little errands. […]
