Home Tour {Half Bath}

When we walked through our home, this itty bitty bath was one of my favorite parts of the house. Mr. Wright and I lived in Maine many moons ago, and this bathroom (along with a lot of the aspects of our home) has a very New England feel to it. [...]

Kitchen Nook Before & After

Kitchen Nook Before & After

We are knee deep in a kitchen reno in our new home, but I did want to quickly  share this one little area, just off the main kitchen. I am not entirely sure what to call it. Nook? Cubby? Wet bar sans the wet part? Empty space where builder threw [...]

Simple Letterpress Technique

Simple Letterpress Technique

First things first. If you don’t know what letterpress is, it’s a form of relief printing. That’s where you have a template, place ink on top of it, and then stamp and indent the ink onto paper. It’s way cooler than plain old stamping because you have the element of depth and [...]
