I have to admit that letting commenters choose the door color for the back entry of my studio was a very fun social experiment for me. Tallying the votes took a while, but my mom and I sat in Rosa’s Cafe yesterday afternoon and tallied the votes that had come in to that point. It

If you know me at all, you know very well that I have a tendency to become hyper-obsessed with certain decorating and design decisions. Some decisions I can make very easily and quickly, and I can get those things done and move on. With other things, my brain becomes like a car stuck in mud
A few days ago, I shared that if I could do anything I wanted with the bathroom door and the storage closet door in the back entry of my studio, my preference would be for them to be a medium to dark stained wood. Walnut would be perfect. You can read more about that, as

Matt and I hosted my family for Thanksgiving again this year. It was wonderful, and we had such a good day.

Some comments on last Friday’s post made me realize that there may be quite a few people who follow my blog who may not understand why I do what I do. Specifically, why do I continue to DIY and decorate my way through my own house, and sometimes redo rooms and projects that are already
Yesterday, I decided to stop focusing on what I don’t want to do and the tasks that I dread (i.e., cleaning up the studio, putting things away, and organizing things), and concentrate on the rewards of getting those undesirable tasks done. I know that many of you encouraged me to tackle this job in 30-minute

Y’all, I can’t believe that we’re already in the month of November. Not only that, but Thanksgiving is this week! This year has absolutely flown by for me! And now that we’re at that time of year for more gatherings, family time, and down time (I like to take the last week of the year
Yesterday, I shared my decision on what I plan to do with the doors in the back entry of the studio. If you missed that, you can read out it here. Since my idea is a little more complicated than just purchasing a quart of paint and painting a few doors, I’m giving myself time

Yesterday, I painted a couple of test colors on the back French doors of the studio, and then I realized that the process of testing different colors would be so much easier if I’d just use my photo editing software. So I thought I’d bring y’all along on this ride so you can see what
I’ve been talking about gold leafing the light fixture in the back entry of the studio for a while now, but I kept putting it off because I could just imagine the misery of standing atop a 10-foot ladder for hours while applying adhesive and gold leaf to that large fixture. I just couldn’t bring

I absolutely love DIYing and building things myself. And I take great pride in being able to envision something like a piece of furniture, and then take it from concept to completion with my own two hands and a few tools. And example of that would be the six-drawer console table that’s in our entryway.
