Cowgirl Pool = Backyard Badass

My dad clipped an article out of the newspaper and brought it over to my house when Cowboy Pools launched during the early months of the pandemic this year. A few months later, they released the Cowgirl Pool, the polyurethane version with slightly sloped sides (way more comfy for sitting), and I had my pool…

Exploring Art From Prison

If I imagine the peace and solace I’ve found in art during the pandemic, I can only imagine how impactful art can be for incarcerated populations—people who aren’t always taught to and given the room to express themselves. Imagine if prison reform not only included professional/job skills training but also personal growth education too… “For…

Wine Organization

There used to be three sections of wine in my house: Closet wine – expensive/special or bottles that need to age Fridge wine – daily drinkers Shelf wine – somewhere between daily drinkers and special, ie don’t drink it as bottle 2 or 3! But I realized I was doing it all wrong. Here’s the…

House Projects | Feel Good Friday 071219

I did some stuff. Look at these house projects! First, I hung my stick on the wall like art. My brother came in and was like “Nice driftwood art!” I said, “That’s trash from your trash tree that fell on my house!” Which it is. But it’s also badass and looks badass on the wall,…

Always Ahead of the Game: Living Coral, Pantone Color of 2019

“Vibrant, yet mellow PANTONE 16-1546 Living Coral embraces us with warmth and nourishment to provide comfort and buoyancy in our continually shifting environment.” https://www.pantone.com/color-intelligence/color-of-the-year/color-of-the-year-2019 But see, because I’m usually ahead of trends, I already have “living coral” stripes in my bedroom and as accents all over the place. And I have to agree: it is…

My Towel Saga

Towels are one of those items in which you don’t think about what you want until you have to really freakin’ figure out what you want and then you wonder: do I want soft towels? Light towels? Big towels? Small towels? Absorbent? Am I going to lounge in them? It’s exhausting. In my new fabulous…

Coffee Bar | Feel Good Friday 091418

I mean, it’s perfect. I debated what to do with this kitchen alcove/nook, but making it a coffee bar was definitely the right move. Thanks in no small part to the most amazing, badass, delicious drip coffee maker of ever, that I just got after coveting my facebook girlfriend for life’s for years… It’s the Zojirushi…

The Best Coffee Table of Ever

This post is purely to brag about my friend who made this coffee table, the best coffee table of ever, which represents all things that are good and wonderful in the world. First and foremost, the love and labor of my marriage certificate trio husband, an amazing friend and craftsman. But after that … a…

Crafternoon

I wanted to paint to fill the big white space above my bed. But then I inherited this awesome painting, and I didn’t need to paint anymore. But I still wanted to, so I picked up some gems at Goodwill to repurpose—a wooden block to turn into a giant coaster for flowers, a mirrored picture…
