Back when I had the Etsy shop, I had to store shipping supplies in my little office. To store those boxes and such, I hung 3 of IKEAs ($4!) metal napkin holders on the wall and put the supplies inside them. It worked very well, but since I'm no longer selling physical ... read more

Simplifying (Another post with embarrassing photos)
I was hoping to have a design or decor project (or at least the attic office mood board) for you today to give you a break from all the miniatures talk. (By the way, go vote if you haven't yet!) But I don't. As much as I have been getting rid of lately, the more ... read more

What to do when you don’t have enough room for end tables
One of the challenges that came with getting a sofa that takes up the whole width of the guest room/office is that there is no room for end tables. So, yesterday we pulled out some leftover lumber we had from our ladder project and made some wall mounted shelves ... read more
