In Need of a Refresh
As stated before, I live in a 1865 farmhouse. The decor is more traditional than modern, owing to the trend at the time we purchased our furniture. Those were carefree days: no kids devouring our time or impinging upon our decision making, and two incomes to blow on furniture we foolishly thought we’d be mad about forever. Dark days they were. (Smiley face).
The point is we live in a transient world – wanting always to be moving and exploring, discovering the next great thing, or great look.

Most of the rooms in our home are lived in. Our office, however, has become an avoidance issue. With neither my husband nor myself regularly working from home, the kids now working in their bedrooms, and the desktop computer having been rendered all but obsolete, its only purpose has been that of storage. Until recently. My husband had to take a video conference call from home one day and no matter where he attempted to place his laptop in the room, there was a mountain (or more aptly a landslide) of stuff behind him, in the shot. It was dark, messy, and depressing. So, we’re undertaking an office overhaul – in pieces, to be delivered to you the same way. (more…)
Mother’s Day is right around the corner on Sunday, May 14th. As a mother and someone fortunate enough to still have my own, I look forward to this day each year. It’s a fun time to get together with family and let the kids do the waiting on and cleaning up (sort of!) and generally be the one who is taken care of instead of the one doing the care-taking.
With thoughts of all the good that moms bring to the world, we’ve created a sweet and free Mother’s Day print to share with the mom or mom figure in your life. (more…)
