Design

Have you ever been working on a big project, and you look around and think, “There’s not much left! I’ve almost got this thing wrapped up”? But the closer you think you’re getting to that finish line, the further away it seems to appear? Yeah. That’s how this studio project has been feeling to me.

I have an almost-free day today, and I’ll finally be able to get more work done on the studio cabinets (for the first time since Monday), so I hope to have some progress to share with you tomorrow. But in the meantime, I’ve become a bit obsessed (again) with our floor plan for the addition,

Y’all really gave me a whole lot to think about yesterday! I’m still going through comments and pondering different ideas, and I feel like I’ve been trying to drink from a fire hydrant over the last day. 😀 Y’all have so many ideas that it’s hard for me to keep up! But I love reading

I know I haven’t really mentioned anything about our addition recently, and that’s because nothing has really happened. Our architect had a pretty major surgery, so finalizing our plans has been delayed. But I said from the beginning that I wasn’t going to get worked up about time lines, stressed out when things don’t happen

Progress is moving right along on my studio office area cabinets, and I now have all of the decorative trim attached. And rather than attaching large crown molding, I kind of cheated and used what I would call a faux crown molding that is so much easier to cut and attach than actual crown molding,

I had a very productive day yesterday! I got all of the basic trim attached to the cabinets in the office area of the studio. I ran out of the time, so I didn’t get to attach the decorative trim, but the basic trim has gone a long way towards making this unit look finished

Yesterday, I had someone ask me, “Are you going to finish painting the ceiling before or after you finish the cabinets?” To be clear, this was not a snarky comment, and it’s perfecty fine to ask questions. She was just wondering about my process, and I certainly understand that. And you want to know what’s

I made quite a bit of progress on the studio office area cabinets yesterday, and it’s getting really exciting to see this area come together. I showed you the other day that I got all of the doors and drawer fronts finished. I installed most of them and took a picture so we could get

I did it! I built the cubby bridge on my studio office area cabinets all by myself yesterday, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with how this section is turning out! As a reminder, here is the goal… And at the start of the day yesterday, this is how the cabinets in that area of

I don’t have any studio progress to share with you today, so I thought I’d get you caught up on how my month of February went with my New Year’s resolution (i.e., no sugar for a year) and my health goals. Here’s the short version. I successfully made it through month two with no sugar,

I’ve had to do some rearranging in our home gym because I decided to keep my treadmill. I haven’t used my treadmill in years. It’s a nice one, but it’s pretty big, and I didn’t think I had room for it. So when I designed our home gym, I didn’t even consider trying to make

The doors and drawer fronts for the office area cabinets are finished! I got all of them done last night, but I didn’t have enough time to install all of them. I was disappointed that I ran out of time, but I was way too excited about this progress to wait to show you. Isn’t
