i really like the combination of old world charm and new modern charm. if i could master this aesthetic, it would make me feel like i've accomplished something uniquely wonderful and creatively complete. furry little milo wanted to be part of the photo below showcasing a cheery yet romantic handmade tiara now in the shop.

have a wonderful week.

changing format a tad this week to focus on spaces with an indoor outdoor connection.  we are thinking about adding another window to a bathroom upstairs and removing a wall downstairs all in an effort to gain more light and to feel more connected with the outdoor spaces. wishing you a light and happy weekend.

our list of household improvements is growing: we have a small room upstairs that shares a wall with the attic of the lower level, which allows us access for storage but now we are considering finishing off a portion to create a fun sleeping/reading nook. wishing you a fun weekend.
