Finally! We were all settled into our home. It was put back together and perfectly decorated. I even replaced most of the furniture in the rest of the house as well, all while staying on budget. And just as we got comfortable and used to “normalcy” again, we had a major realization – we can […]
Finally. The year that was 2020/2021 has moved on, and we’re already one month into 2022! I hadn’t looked at my website since this summer, so as I just looked back, I am reminded of the excitement and optimism that I had when I started this blog. My intent was to write about my journey […]
If you had asked me what was in my dresser before October 29th, I would have given you a vague list, but I wouldn’t have been 100% sure. I’ve always heard the recommendation to take pictures or a video of your belongings, but how many of us have actually done it? After living through what […]
On the morning of October 28 2020, while I was in the shower, I thought to myself, “I really wish we could get new tile in our bathroom.” Then to really drive it home, I spoke those words out loud. I’ve never read The Secret, but I’m aware of the concept: put your wishes and […]
The creative world – that of designers, artists, stylists, etc – is one in which I continue to immerse myself. These days it may be more virtually than in-person, but I still try to surround myself with these types of people and industries. And since I built my website last year, I’ve discovered another facet […]
My absolute favorite colors – though some may argue they aren’t colors – are black and white. Whether they are technically shades or colors, my love for them is reflected in my closet, and in my designs. For me, the appeal of black and white is that they can be classic & timeless, yet modern […]
The last thing I remember was that it was early March… and then the world turned upside down. A nasty virus changed everything. We were faced with COVID-19 and the lives it has taken; and the lives it has impacted physically, emotionally, and financially. We tried (and are still trying) to work together to stop […]
Where’s your happy place? Not the fabulous tropical destination you love to visit (vacations in paradise make me very happy as well), but somewhere nearby that helps your state of mind and simply makes you happy. It may be somewhere in your home, or yard, or neighborhood… a place you can easily access. A place […]
All we hear about lately is our “new normal”, and how we’re learning to adapt to our world with COVID-19. And I’ll admit it’s taking some time getting used to it all: waiting in a 6-foot-spaced-out line and wearing a mask just to get groceries; searching to no avail for toilet paper; or, most importantly, […]
I’ve never actually celebrated Lent by giving up something for the 40 days leading up to Easter. I’m well aware that many people do, and most typically they give up something like a guilty pleasure (which doesn’t sound very fun). However, I saw an article today on AJC.com that caught my eye. It gave a […]
