Horse Trade
I found this rocking horse at an antique store a couple of years ago. I had seen it there for a long time…maybe even a couple of years and it always caught my eye, but I never took the plunge and bought it. One day, though, I decided I couldn’t resist it anymore and I […]
Still playing & more for sale…
I’m still “playing” in the living room…trying different things until I feel I’ve hit the nail on the head. I liked the door with the painting on it, but it didn’t feel 100% right, so I thought I would try something else. I pulled the mirror out of my bedroom… …to try it between the […]
Living with what you love
The past few years have been a whirlwind for me. Moving…two baby boys born 19 months apart and a new business right on the heels of that.

When I start rearranging furniture, it’s like playing dominoes. I move one thing and then everything else has to move. As I mentioned yesterday, I’m approaching my house in an entirely new way. I’m trying to be intentional about every piece. Is it functional? Is it beautiful? Do I really love it? Is it perfect […]
What are you doing New Year’s Eve?
New year’s eve has never been a big deal to us. One year I did go to a party with my Opa. My Oma had just passed away that year and he didn’t feel it was appropriate to bring a date and he didn’t want to go alone, so he asked his granddaughter. I drove […]
