I’ve had a change in plans for the big, blank wall in the studio. I’ll share more about that later, but what this change of plans means is that I needed a new idea for the wall next to my desk. I’ve been thinking about it for a few days now, and I kept coming

I should have spent yesterday finishing up the trim in the studio, but instead, I decided to work on the pendant light that will go over my desk. After considering several different options, including both ready-made and DIY lights, my mom suggested that I make a pendant light inspired by a piece of artwork that

I’ve been working on finishing up the trim in the studio, but I’ve been met with some challenges and one of the most absurd roadblocks I’ve ever experienced in all of my years of DIYing and remodeling. I mean, this is seriously one of the dumbest problems I’ve ever encountered. 😀 On a positive note,
We’re almost four months into 2024, and we’re still no closer to starting our addition than we were in December. Part of me is frustrated by that and feels like I need to light a fire under the architect and get him focused on our project. But part of me continues to be relieved that
On Friday, I shared that I was going to be away from Matt overnight for the first time in over a decade. If you missed that, you can read about it here. Well, the weekend was a success all around. Matt and my mom had a very uneventful time, which is a very good thing.

Y’all, this is a big weekend. I’m doing something that I haven’t done in well over a decade, and I’m kind of nervous about it. I’m going away for an overnight trip. I know some of you are thinking, “That’s big? Really, Kristi?” But it is. It’s huge. As y’all know, Matt (if you’re new
The cabinets in the office area of my studio took me so long to finish, and covered so many blog posts, that I thought it would be helpful to condense all of the info into one post with links to the specific posts that you will find helpful if you want to customize IKEA Sektion

Yesterday, I just wasn’t in the mood to work on baseboards or door casings, so I decided to do a fun project. I was determined to figure out the arrangement for the one big, blank wall in the studio. Spoiler alert: I didn’t figure it out, and I didn’t get it finished. But I did

Last week kind of got away from me. Every time I’d try to get some work done on the studio, something else would need my attention. But Saturday and yesterday, I was able to focus and spend quite a bit of time getting some items check off of my studio to-do list. And I finally

I made progress on several items on my studio to-do list yesterday, but the only one I finished was repainting the paint swatch cabinet. Originally, I painted the cabinet black. In my mind, the black acted as a frame for the “artwork” of the paint swatch doors. I do think that the black did exactly
On Friday’s post, I made a list of 18 things that needed to be done to finish the studio. This weekend, I got two of them checked off of the list. I finally got the ceiling and walls painted, which was a huge task. And then the last window shade arrived on Saturday, so I
