I debated whether or not to even write about this on my blog…a blog that’s about decorating and starting a creative business and DIY. But it’s about more than that, isn’t it? At the heart, it’s about me. Decorating is just what I do that is fun to take pictures of and talk about. But […]
The Style Shift
As I’ve been working on my home over the past few months, a few realizations have hit me. The first one was that I have too much stuff and I’ve talked about purging, selling, donating, organizing and paring down in recent posts. I find myself grabbing more and more things to put on the sale […]

The new sofa has arrived!
Today was the day! For someone who usually hauls their furniture from a thrift store, yard sale, auction or antique shop, it’s a luxury to have a piece that’s finished delivered right to my home and placed in the very spot I want it. I’ve only experienced that one other time – with the bed […]
