If this house is missing one thing, it's closet space. Three small bedroom closets, one linen closet in the stairwell, and an odd space built into the wall behind the …
It's more than kind of a shame that my necklaces have been stored in a tangled knot since the summer when I removed the hooks that they were organized on …
I rocked through some seriously satisfying projects around the house in the last few weeks. Some were fixes to new items, most were things that I should have taken care of …
In the midst of the bathroom renovation, routing the new office baseboards, and squealing with joy over the idea of replacing the kitchen floor, I concocted a weird little animal. Back …
Little bit of style, lotta-bit of resourcefulness happening in this post. During one of my Christmas shopping excursions, I happened upon the Anthropologie sale (where it was 50% off already-clearance merch). …
In search of a way to display children's artwork, recreated a collage that would stand the test of time (it's true: we still have this displayed 13 years later). My …
I cleaned up my growing collection of scrap fabrics yesterday in a small effort to cross at least one thing off my January To-Do list. My "Before" method of cramming …
A few weekends ago, my friend's mom thoughtfully gave me a 3D owl puzzle after recalling that I had an unspoken but very real liking for owls (like this little owl that …

Shucks, if this is a problem I had, maybe it's a problem you've had too. My precious IKEA RIBBA frame is shot. Or is it? Brought home all the way from Canada …
I dropped another 10.5 hours into the shaggy bear rug project last week (stopping because my fingers are once again blistered, I ran out of fabric, and to fill myself …
I spent another 9 hours laboring on the bear rug over the last 7 days (if not for holiday wrapping and cookie baking, it probably would have been more). This …
The empty frame in the new office gallery wasn't ignored for long. I had a little design in mind to try, and because it would be totally f-r-e-e with unused materials …
