So it’s finally happening… our 80s bathroom redo!!! When I say “80s bathroom”, I really mean “80s bathroom.” It’s so bad it’s almost good. (My friend with a fashion line talked about doing a shoot in there.) Don’t get me wrong, I mean this with no disrespect to the owners who built it… because back […]
July 13, 2016I’m so happy summer is officially here!! Our kids are (finally!) out and it’s getting HOT!! If you follow me on Instagram, you might have noticed a post last week mentioning that we’re thinking about selling our place ALREADY. I’ve been too slammed to get a post out on it sooner but finally have a […]

I left a smaller home (2 tiny bedrooms for 4 […]
May 12, 2016{Progress in our front yard kitchen garden & house painting} I cannot believe we’ve lived in our house since September; it feels like it’s only been a couple of months! It’s been the busiest eight months I can remember, but each month it feels like we get a bit more settled and the house becomes […]
May 5, 2016This past fall, we began working with a young family on their soon-to-be-new house. They found a really special piece of property and had an amazingly simple yet spectacular modern farmhouse design done by Thomas French Architects. I’m certain I squealed when I first opened the house plans and the inspiration photos they sent over […]
April 21, 2016A couple of years ago, I started an (extremely!) irregular blog series called “Gracious People.” In my line of work and in my life, I come across lots of insanely talented and incredible people… People whose work I admire and drool over.
