Do you have a weird corner, too? One that doesn’t really make sense and leaves you wondering “what do I put here?” I contemplated a lot of different ideas in this one. Maybe I would build a bench and hooks like a little mudroom, maybe do a board and batten treatment, maybe just a bench to fill with shoes and backpacks? But I felt like this little corner should hold something that wasn’t so angular. It needed something with soft lines so this table (that I didn’t know what I was going to do with when we moved in) was the perfect fit in this space. It’s oddly one of my favorite little corners in this house. It may be because it welcomes you the moment you walk in the front door and is always “pretty”.

Don’t be afraid to try different things until it feels right! Go with your gut in your home and it will feel just right every time you walk in the door!

Home Coming

Remember when everything broke in my home over the course of a few days and I threatened to move? Well, we bought a new house! And I mean we bought a NEW house! Isn’t she cute??

WHY???? Didn’t I JUST move to AZ last year?? Yes, but....I was born and raised in Denver. Our children were born in Colorado. Our two oldest daughters live in Denver and there will be grandbabies on the way at some point. Their business is based in Denver (@balanceathletica )and our close family wants to be closer. And we don’t want to miss ANY of it. We didn’t think it would happen this fast. We thought maybe some day. But we found a great place to settle in so we went for it!

We want to start our high schooler at her new school right away so we will be moving in 4 weeks! 😱I’m totally not prepared and really stressed out, but I got this and THIS IS THE LAST MOVE! #canigetanamen

So, all my DIY, design and project loving friends, hang on to your pants because this is going to be a fun ride that I hope you will stick around for!!

To my husband, the father of my children, thank you for always putting the needs of our children first and for taking care of our family in the best way, even through all the trials of life. Through ups and downs and the tragedy of cancer you have remained the same. You’re a good, good father. And I love you❤️ (for those worried about social distancing, this photo was from before😊).

Hello, friends! I hope you are well. I have been carefully choosing where my time, resources and focus have gone over the past couple of weeks. I have heard the pleas for change and my family and I promise to do what we can to help make that happen.
2020 has been such a strange year so far and it has held me back from accomplishing what I had planned. Have you felt the inertia? It’s been heavy on me and I am trying to UNfeel it. I am a creative and being idle has been damaging to my spirit. Are you a creative, too? Have you felt what I am talking about? I would love to hear ways you are moving forward through this time and space we are in!!
