Plaster Wall Art

I completed this project a few month back and wanted to share because it was so easy and fun! I was looking for some abstract wall art from my living room and came across an amazing artist from the Bay Area, Kaleen Cameron. It was everything I was looking for, for my home decor. It

Dear New Homeowner

Buying a new home is a very exciting process. It can be a rollercoaster of emotions and take the best out of you, at times. But getting the keys to your first home, and the feeling you get when you find “the one” is indescribable. It’s common that the first thing you do once you

Growing from Food Scraps

Weeks ago I posted my process with becoming less wasteful and I wanted to share my progress. I’m amazed that we could grow our own garden from food scraps. It has been so easy! Even someone with the opposite of a green thumb (me!), can grow from food scraps. I have been saving scraps from

Patina-ing a Painting

Let me preface by saying that I am not an artist in any way, shape, or form. I haven’t painted with acrylic since high school, and that was more than a reunion ago. That being said, this was a pretty easy and fun project. I found this large still life printed painting from a staging

Did anyone else do this during the Marie Kondo purge?

While everyone was saying goodbye to all their items that no longer sparked joy, I was frequenting my local thrift stores and buying all their stuff. It was great! Cashmere sweaters for $12 and crisp jean jackets that haven’t been worn into for $7. My eyes have never sparkled so much, not even on my

Helpful Habits During Covid

Aside from washing our hands frequently and wearing a mask when we have to leave the house, we try to reduce the amount of times we have to go to the store. Sounds easy enough but how do we do that without buying in bulk or turning to Amazon at every moment? Here are some

Our master bedroom

So when we moved into our home at the very beginning of the Shelter In Place rule, we had to quickly decide on paint and floors. There wasn’t much else we could do with so many businesses taking extra precaution (it’s a good thing). Me being the way that I am, I had already picked
