pillows, upholstery & a dresser
I had a very productive day today and it felt great. I made three pillows, upholstered an arm chair, painted a piece of furniture and caulked and primed some trim. Whew! There are a few things that are contributing to the flurry of activity. First of all, we have a big photo shoot happening over […]
family room updates
Today between church and youth group, I was working on mundane things like cleaning and painting my front door. On Friday, though, I was able to take some time to get my family room straight after the Christmas decor came down. I pulled out my clay pot caddy from the basement and finally put it […]

Tonight, I am writing this post from a beautiful hotel in midtown Manhattan. We just got back to our room from seeing Wicked from the center of the second row and I am on a musical theatre high. It was amazing. I can’t wait to tell you all about this day and this trip. It’s been very […]
{word of the year}
