Her furniture make-overs are continually inspiring, and I’m dying to try her distressed technique on a Craigslist dresser that I {well, G} picked up last week.

Baby you’re much too fast…..
Are you totally lost? Don’t worry, I’m known for random tangents and awkward segue {Case in point – I learned how to spell “segue” while sitting next to G in a COLLEGE lecture. He wrote it in his notes {yes, I was reading over his shoulder}. Previously I was sure it [...]

Lovelies, we’ve made it to February! I’m just going to come out and say it – I am SO over winter. It’s painful to go outside, walking is perilous, and my commute becomes a serious source of stress (I am a nervous winter driver, it’s true). In the spirit of making the best of things, [...]
