Hello world! After taking nearly a year off to adjust to life as a first-time mom in the midst of a pandemic, I’m back with a living room refresh. Here’s what the living room has looked like for the past few years. The rug was the only thing we purchased specifically for the space, and … More Living Room Refresh with Photowall
Welcome to my home! It’s a semidetached English Victorian, and according to the plaque on the front, it was built in 1895 and named Rose Villas. I just call her our Old Victorian though, because that’s the name we used when we first saw her and I guess it stuck. Anyway, Andrew and I have … More Honest Home Tour – English Victorian Terrace House
If there’s one silver lining to being stuck at home under global lockdown, it’s that I finally have the time/desire to share the finished spaces in our home. We moved into our Old Victorian almost a year an half ago, and though I made plans and took lots of photos shortly after moving in, I … More Minimalist Master Bedroom + Baby Corner

Once upon a time, I asked Andrew to help me hang a canvas print on the wall. It only required one bracket to mount the canvas frame. How hard could it be? Well, the wall was solid brick, and after trying to drill into the crumbling plaster without much success, he told me it couldn’t … More Living Room Progress
Exciting news! I ordered a rug for the living room! I even took measurements of the room before picking a size, so I’m feeling very grown up right now. The old me would see a pretty rug, gasp at the price for the ideal size, and then go for a smaller version. I got away … More Living Room Plan – Decorating On a Budget
Happy New Year! This year truly feels like a blank slate. We’re kicking off 2019 in a new house, new town, and newish job for me. I’m a believer that change can be positive because it brings new opportunities, but it’s also scary. Settling into a new environment is a daunting task, and deciding where … More Getting the most out of your living space after a move
Life’s been a little exciting over here lately. I started a new job, we visited our family back in California for Thanksgiving, and oh, we moved 2 weeks ago!
