After last month’s bummer of an update, I’m happy to report that I’m feeling much better! I think in many ways that low was what I needed to let go of some of the things I was holding too tightly to. I’ve had quite a few breakthroughs recently and I know the two are related.
Read MoreI swear this year just keeps getting better and better. Our move into Brown Betty went smoothly, we’ve been knocking down some of the easy fixes and have started the master bedroom renovation, and I went to Alt/Alison’s Brand School (and fell in love with Palm Springs)!
Read MoreAppropriately named for her most prominent feature, Brown Betty is our new home! She’s brown on the outside and brown on the inside – even the yard is kinda brown. While I’m not the #allwoodeverything type, I do appreciate her character and the beautiful wood used in her construction. This house needs LOVE.

Don’t ask me to coordinate a social event, but if you want to know what order you should pack your house in, call me. Some of these may be common knowledge, but here are a few things I’ve loved + learned from this moving process.
Read MoreOur guest bedroom in the townhouse is a really cool room and one of the reasons I loved it right off the bat. Inside the room is a set of stairs leading to a loft. This was the perfect setup back when I had a roommate because she got a little living room area + a bedroom in one! And once she got married and left me, we turned the loft area into our office which was clutch since we now both primarily work from home.
