To be honest, when my daughter moved out, I decided not to do much with her room, since we might be moving in a few years and when we downsize, I won’t need as much furniture. So I just moved some things into the room so that it was usable. I wasn’t going to put […]
The New French Sitting Room
So my baby just moved out, and I can’t wait to show you her apartment! She wants me to take photos of her apartment, so I’ll be shooting it soon. Today, I wanted to finally share her old room, which is now my new sitting room. We didn’t put a bed back here because when […]

Afternoon Tea at my House
I had a few friend over that live nearby for tea recently. It was a very small group and at first I just planned to make cucumber sandwiches and scones, along with afternoon tea. That’s really all you need, right? But then as it got closer to the time for the afternoon tea, things were […]
