Side Table Upcycle / Guest Room Updates
Decorating our guest room has been a work in progress for roughly a year now.

So a few years ago, I tried to start getting in the habit of making my own, so that I know exactly what is going in it. Buckwheat is actually a seed,…

Three Days in Chicago
Wow. I’ve literally been procrastinating about writing this Chicago post for over a month now. This was G and I’s first trip to Chicago, so I figured I would share the things that Garrett and what we totally loved.
