Something about this time of year makes long for warm & cozy things. Felt played a big role in the holiday decor I grew up with, so I love seeing so many modern spins on this classic material. Here…
I’m a huge fan of combining artistry with functionality. Why should we settle for something boring when we could fill our worlds with the extraordinary? Time to rip down that contractor’s special chandelier you’ve been hating on since you…
I am absolutely hopeless when it comes to sewing. Pretty sure I got a “C” on my big sewing project in junior high Home Ec ( a C was pretty unheard of for this nerd ) and my attempts…

As the days get longer and the weather gets…
Once upon a time, I was bored by white. The more color the better. And around age 13, the more purple the better! 😉 But as my eye has grown and matured, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the…
I have a long, ongoing love affair. With books. I blame my grandparents, who were avid readers and every night spent with them was ended curled up in my grandmother’s lap listening to her read. Growing up, books were…
