The Search for the Perfect Sofa

The Search for the Perfect Sofa

When we quit our jobs and bought a vintage furniture shop, we knew our lives were going to get weird. As in, a lot less stability and money, but a lot more fun and flexibility. Plus, we soon realized there were strange perks that came with this small business life. One of the perks is getting to wear workout clothes as often as we want. Another (more relevant) one is getting to swap out the furniture in our homes on a whim. This perk is perfect for me as I am a self-admitted chronic re-arranger.

Bohemian Modern Nursery

Today, my baby girl is one year old (Happy Birthday, baby girl!). It became my recent goal to have this nursery tour done before her birthday. I tell myself that while it may seem most ideal to read a baby room tour before the child arrives (filled with so much joy and anticipation!), a post with the hindsight of a whole year of parenting has its perks as well.

Risks and Rewards of Bold Wall Colors: Palmer's Green Nook

Risks and Rewards of Bold Wall Colors: Palmer's Green Nook

I'm not afraid of color. In our first home, we had a bright red dining room, and I loved it. I loved it not only because it took four coats to get it that red, but because it was beautiful.

That said, when we moved into our new home I felt the need to switch it up a bit and try my hand at neutrals. 

After painting the living/dining area a very light gray (almost white), I turned my attention to the breakfast nook. The nook is part of the kitchen, but also connects to the living/dining area through doors and a large pass-through. Thus, the nook paint color would affect the entire space. What to do, what to do.
