❤️ Yes, We Have to Take It All Apart


2 minute read

Hi Reader!

As I’ve been recounting the details of all our recent moves (4 in the last 5 years), there is one question I’ve been getting a lot lately:

“Surely, the landlord (or next tenants!) must appreciate your changes! Why do you always take everything apart?”

Unfortunately, over our 20+ years of being renters, we’ve been able to leave behind only a very few of our projects.

In this month's Coffee Break, I’m breakdown why and sharing how it doesn’t really stop me from doing what I do!

5 minute read Hi Reader! Over on the blog, I'm diving deep into HDX boxes. You know…those black and yellow bins (well, now in other colors too!) that have seemingly taken over every home improvement store, garage, and campsite. We went ALL IN on these bins for our garage storage and learned a ton in the process. If you’ve been wondering if these bins are worth the hype, here’s everything you’ll want (and need!) to know before you make the switch! See It: Everything You Want (& Need!) to Know...

5 minute read Hi Reader! I am so excited to share today’s project with you. Because while it may seem like I crank out project after project with ease, very few come together flawlessly and exactly as I imagined. In our new home, I had a huge wall and only one frame to put on it. So it was time to get creative. This wall project was quick. It was easy. It was affordable. And it was wholly transformative in all the best ways! Read It: Filling a Big Wall with a Single Frame More Like This...
