Hartson House
This feels like old news to me now, but during the summer I decided to laugh in the face of my fear, throw caution to the wind, and make an offer on a house with good flip potential. The offer was accepted. Peep cute house below. These are all “before” pictures so you can get a sense that the house was charming and in decent … Continue reading Hartson House
On the Eve
I’m 29, it’s Christmas Eve, and I just threw up in my parents’ bathroom. I’m in a really good place in life despite the questionable decision to mix wine and whiskey during a particularly intense bout of battling tops earlier this evening. I’m at least half drunk writing this post and the room keeps spinning towards me, but I want to remember this feeling because … Continue reading On the Eve
A Very Sustainable Christmas Tree
Let me be clear, I love real trees for Christmas. I love the smell, the look, the feel. I love and miss the tradition of going to pick one out with my Dad each year, musing over each tree’s personality and imperfections. I even love vacuuming up the needles that inevitably shed all over the carpet. But, now that I have my own home, I’ve … Continue reading A Very Sustainable Christmas Tree
Clay Star Wall Hanging
I’ve seen star wall hangings on Pinterest a few times and thought they were cute. I knew I could easily make my own. For the last few years, I’ve dabbled with oven bake clay to make holiday ornaments and knew that would be the perfect medium. Like my last post, this isn’t really a DIY because it’s such a simple project it’s not worth typing … Continue reading Clay Star Wall Hanging
Homemade Cards – Turkey Edition
Lately, I’ve been feeling pretty crafty and have indulged myself creatively. I’ve done projects with wood, clay, and paper which I’ll be sharing over the coming weeks. It’s really cool to be at a point in my life where I have so many different tools in my arsenal and am now seeing them build off each other. I’ve always been a big believer in homemade … Continue reading Homemade Cards – Turkey Edition
Crispy Prosciutto + Lemony Asparagus Empowered Pasta
What a stupendous weekend! My parents came to visit Saturday and I put them to work cleaning up the yard at my flip house!!! More on that later. Honestly, having 70 degree days in November makes yard work positively dreamy. It was delicious to be outside and active. We also went for a walk around Green Lake and had dinner together. I wish they could … Continue reading Crispy Prosciutto + Lemony Asparagus Empowered Pasta
A Week in Outfits
I know these aren’t good photos, but I kind of enjoy documenting what I’m wearing and don’t overly care about good lighting or feel a need to take the time to edit them. I love exploring my personal style and a quick snapshot to look back on over time is all I need. It’s fun to see how my closet and confidence have evolved. I’ve … Continue reading A Week in Outfits
Wood Framed Mirror DIY
I’ve wanted to make a wood framed mirror for years after seeing different versions of them on Pinterest. The obsession was born from the image below. It is my dream to create something closer to it, but wood like this doesn’t just fall into your lap. Since we happened to have an unframed mirror begging for attention, I decided the time was ripe for a … Continue reading Wood Framed Mirror DIY
Sunday View + A Simple Lunch
It’s about quarter to one and it’s been a delightfully simple, beautiful fall Sunday with no real duties, just the joy and freedom to follow whatever speaks to me. I slept in and then joined a friend for a hot chocolatey walk through downtown. When I got home, I found my self called to stay outside longer so I grabbed Brady and we soaked up … Continue reading Sunday View + A Simple Lunch
