I have been resisting officially declaring myself open for business because the idea of being responsible to clients AND a baby is kind of terrifying, but I have dipped my toe in and the water is fine. It actually has been super creatively fulfilling. So, ladies and gents, if you want to hire me for [...]
I mentioned last week, to an uproarious response (winks), that I am starting a few work projects again. This particular project is for a “client” I am very close to, and we are trying to turn it around in a month. Which is crazy fast for a complete overhaul. You saw the moodboard, now here [...]
Back into the werk pond. Beginning phases. It is going to be good. Trust.
Not to be braggadocios…But I feel like I can build a pretty attractive piece of furniture. Not, like, you know, with my hands. But with my mind and can direct other talented people on how to make it a reality. Like this couch which I mentioned having in the works awhile back. Candy cane dreams! [...]
I love a good textile and a funky print, so I was thrilled to be introduced to Holli Zollinger’s work on Bryn Alexandra’s blog the other day. I especially enjoy her version of an animal print. Did you know female foxes are called vixens? I did not. Learn something new every day. She also [...]

I think a lot of you Carrot Top choosers didn’t consider that maybe society would consider sweating cheese to be an incredible gift/skill. You could be the patron saint [...]
…Make out with Carrot Top for 27 minutes or sweat cheese for a year? That’s a tough one, no? But our real predicament is a lot less foul and has to do with the seating situation in our kitchen. When Pete and I moved in together, and in Chicago, we had Louis Ghost Chairs around [...]
Look, Caitlyn! LOOK!! There is a way to incorporate Americana and boy stuff into fun design! Those are Lincoln portraits for GodSakes! And MAPS!! Lady…We got this! We still have to get rid of Mombo, but otherwise we are good. For everyone else living with manstuffs and inherited collections, check how fierce and flabby-us they [...]
Our bedroom is the one room we bought new furniture for in George Banks. We got a new bed. Our old bed was really built for the situation at Mr. Clifton, and so it was time to start over. Ta-Da! Yellow! So we were going to do this fly wall treatment, and we had the [...]
