As I’ve been getting ready for Christmas this year, I’ve been thinking a lot about how much time we’ve spent at home these last few months, and about all of the small changes we’ve made around here. If we have to be stuck inside, we might as well enjoy our surroundings, right? This year […]
New Gallery Wall (Finally!)
Being stuck at home these last few months (years? how long has it been again?) had us looking at our walls a whole lot more often than normal, which lead us to finally take the plunge and hang some artwork. We’d been envisioning a gallery wall next to our couch for ages, but never […]
Living Room Re-shuffle
Hello, long lost friends! Clearly I’ve been pretty terrible at keeping up over here on the blog. I could go into the long list of reasons why, but instead, why don’t I just get down to it. Lately I’ve been feeling a strong urge to do some redecorating and reshuffling, mostly because we finally […]
The Great Coffee Table Dilemma
SOS! This week I’m coming to you all with a design dilemma: we can’t for the life of us decide on a coffee table! You see, we’ve been looking for an oval coffee table for a while now, as our rectangular coffee table takes up just a bit too much space, and I’m constantly […]
Wise Apple Weekly: Globes, Plants, & Life in the Studio
Welcome to this week’s edition of Wise Apple Weekly! This past week has been SO darn busy – I think it’s safe to say that the holiday season has officially begun. I’ve been busy packing up orders from the shop, listing new goodies, and preparing for a super fun local holiday market, the Queen […]
Wise Apple Weekly: Chasing Light
This last week was a quiet one around our home as we settled in and prepared for winter. The weather has been unseasonably warm so far this fall, but the forecast finally predicted a bit of snow later in the week. While the temps were still above freezing, we put away the last of […]
Wise Apple Weekly: Shorter Days & Longer Shadows
Welcome to this week’s edition of Wise Apple Weekly! This past week, the unseasonably warm weather finally took a turn, and suddenly, it felt like autumn. It seemed as though the leaves began turning colors overnight, the days grew shorter, the shadows became longer and longer, and everything seemed to glow in that warm, […]
Wise Apple Weekly: Little Bits of Happy
Welcome to this week’s edition of Wise Apple Weekly! I’ve got to be honest, friends – this past week has been a rough one. For the first half of the week I could feel that I was fighting something, and by the time yesterday rolled around, that ‘something’ officially won the fight. In fact, […]
Out & About in Buffalo: Hotel Henry
Have you ever wondered what it would look like if an abandoned and oh-so creepy turn-of-the-century psychiatric center was remodeled into a sophisticated upscale hotel and conference center? No? Then you must not be from Buffalo, NY – where some rather ambitious folks have done just that. Last week I was lucky enough to […]
Entryway Update: Vintage Theater Chairs
This week I’m sharing an update to our entryway that’s been a very, very long time in the making. It’s still not a finished project, per-say, but we’re certainly getting a whole lot closer! Let me start at the beginning. You may have noticed in the last couple of living room tours I’ve shared […]
