new paint job reveal!

a fresh injection of color in the living room… It’s the boring, dull part of Winter when all the Christmas stuff is put away and I’ve kon-marie’d every closet and the kitchen already. We’re in full on hibernation mode so maybe we find ourselves sitting on the couch more often. In doing so, one starts…

why it’s OK to have a calm life

Ah yes. The new year is upon us and time, once again, to reflect. Reflect on the things we did well in 2019 and how busy we were. Violet has a babysitter today and is at the Library kid’s ‘NOON-year’s Eve’ party and I’m working on year-end stuff and logging mileage and what-not. And it…

our Holiday Home (a tour!)

This year was a little different when we went to haul up the Christmas totes in the basement… With Christmas falling in the middle of the week this year, we aren’t sure what our plans are yet. We may stay… we may travel… we may be at the cabin?? But one thing I did know…

my favorite strand lights

Love a good Costco find? We are loving these ultra heavy duty strand lights. We have 3 sets and have them strung across our backyard… at the cabin, and most recently in the studio for some pre-holiday season cheer. Check them out here. (and I threw in a pic of our gross dirty patio door…

HALLOWEEN studio party!

This year marked our 7th…er…8th annual Halloween party! (See pics from some previous parties here, here, here, and here!) And what’s a party without a theme?! This year was ‘anyone dead.’ Needless to say it was star-studded…. Marilyn Monroe, Princess Diana, two Freddie Mercury’s. Lots of fun and lots of new friends. We SO look…

a birthday in the studio

Violet turned the big F I V E and here’s how it went down… Cheap and easy was our theme… decorations: streamers and balloons from the dollar store food: spaghetti with 3 sauces, garlic bread and salad craft: a unicorn on a paper plate! Violet had a wonderful time with her friends… parents BYOB’d and…

October is on fire

well…. soon anyway. And not literally. But in leiu of this special month (one of my busiest months because of fall shoots and Violet’s b day) I thought I’d share a Mom hack of sorts. But first, a couple quick questions for you: Where do you keep your printed photos and albums? Your house is…

our home | a tour!

If you don’t know this by now, home interiors/design is kind of a thing for me. I take a lot of pride in keeping up our home and never pass up a garage sale! When I seriously take a sec to look around, MOST of our design stuff has come from vintage shops, garage sales,…

the studio | a tour!

EEEEEE! My studio! My happy place. Here’s a little tour if you’d like to see where I work (and play… let’s be honest!) most days. Thanks for virtually visiting my studio!

our bathroom Reno!

It’s DONE. it’s done. 100% finished. After 8 months of our bathroom Reno project doing most of all of the work ourselves (with the exception of the shower floor base, the window, and the vanity… thanks Dad!) it’s COMPLETE and functional. I didn’t realize I could love grooming so much. Turns out all I needed…
