I know, I know, frames are technically supposed to hang ON the wall, but hear me out for a minute. If you’re into moodboards and constantly restyling little corners around your house (guilty!), this is kind of the perfect compromise. Low commitment in case inspiration hits a…
I ordered a dutch oven in the hopes of making @lynneknowlton’s bread with Nova (give me ALL the delicious, kid-friendly activities), then placed my first online grocery order but apparently the store was completely out of all purpose flour and yeast?! So now I have a dutch o…
Flipping through photos from weeks past, as one does, and feeling especially drawn to this mental asylum-turned-hotel from our last adventure. You know, locked doors, going crazy... I’ll let you read between the lines. She was mighty pretty though, with those curved walls an…
Spending approximately 50% of my time chasing and tidying up after my tornado of a toddler, 30% strategically planning what I’ll cook or bake next, and 20% obsessing over where my newly framed prints are going to go in an effort to maintain ANY shred of control. How ‘bout yo…
Tell me about your day! What are you learning during this weird time?! I’m realizing very quickly how much I rely on childcare to maintain a semblance of balance, and just kind of riding the wave of what my current day-to-day looks like. Nap times and post-bedtime is pretty …
This was a pre-distancing project, but I’ve been working on putting together my home studio and am getting SO close. I’m thankful I did my click-and-collect Ikea order last week for the cabinets, so I have the main pieces I need to pull it together and am just in the hard co…
Finding it pretty surreal that barely a week ago, I was exploring another city with friends and now I'm fully embracing the idea of social distancing along with many others. It's hard to know how to navigate the uncertainty right now, and I'm having a hard time figuring out …
Architectural details and major colour and texture inspiration in downtown Buffalo. I may or may not have a folder of closeups of these columns, because I feel like they’ll come in handy for something, some day.
After two weeks of travelling grandparents and weather that impacted my childcare, work schedule and general sanity, this week is back to "regular" programming (if there even exists such a thing), and I have strategies to build out, brands to design and shoots to plan and so…
Timeless and feminine for @sundeparis. Working on a few more special elements for this lingerie brand and playing around with delicate French influences and love note-inspired layers that will elevate the shopping experience that much more. This customized type has always be…
When I’m working on brand strategies with my clients, I’ve started asking them to create two moodboards for me — one that captures the feeling, or overall vibe they want their brand to encapsulate, and the other with more type, or design specific content. Together, these giv…
I have a thing for minimal type, peachy pinks and layered textures. And I probably have at least two piles of somewhat organized props sitting pretty for upcoming shoots at any given time. Totally normal, right?!
I've gotten pretty good at not working on the weekends except for dire circumstances (ie. tax time), but sometimes inspiration strikes and I find myself researching 60s surf culture in California, and I just have to ride that wave... (sorry, I had to! #momjoke)
After a long day of driving and styling yesterday, I’m taking today a little slower, letting Nova lead the way as we tumble around the house while I try to tidy little corners along the way. I’m getting better at separating “work time” from “home time” (even though both gene…
That magical moment where you see your vision unfolding and the details of a project all come together ✨ Brand design, visual strategy and styling details (branded coasters!) for @visitsummerhouse by yours truly, with interiors by @autumnhacheydesign and @tiffanyleighdesign.…
Spent most of my weekend catching up on tax stuff and wrangling a tiny human, which pretty much sums up my life these days. I'm in constant amazement at how f'ing draining this stage is, between the incessant curiosity and exploring, the mini temper tantrums and everything b…
If I could have it my way, my house would be scattered with fresh flowers at all times. It’s one of those little things that brings me so much joy, adding so much beauty and texture to a space. But since my budget isn’t always in alignment with my vision, and I no longer hav…
