Homemade lavender granola Here we are at the end of week five, how is everyone doing? What are you doing to find some comfort in these difficult times? Cooking with pantry items has been somewhat comforting. Since there are four of us eating every meal at home, we do need food. One thing I made that sort of works for breakfast, lunch or mid-day snack is homemade granola. We loved this one ...
What to wear when you’re staying home + a super simple recipe
Work from Home Attire I always work from home, but not without going out a few times a day and at least one or two trips into the city each week, so I get dressed like I'm leaving even if I don't have a concrete plan. This new normal has been something to adjust to in terms of dress. For about a week I leaned into the soft pants, hair in a bun and a cozy turtleneck sweater, but as the days turned ...
DIY: How to make a portico
update: We are going to begin our garage refresh with Sherwin-Williams paint and stain in Tricorn Black at our beach cottage. The house was built in 1920 and the garage was probably added in the 1950s. So it's still old and has absolutely no appeal. It's pretty ugly in fact. Much like our old house where we made it so much better with just paint and a DIY portico. We are trying to figure out a ...

Let’s bake a lemony turmeric cake + Friday Favorites

On most days we take a walk in the early evening and then last night we baked this lemony turmeric cake that she saw on @nytcooking. It's a recipe by Alison Roman so you know it's good. So. Much. Baking. But seriously, I'm trying to see the silver ...
A creative work space using only what I had on hand
Where I work these days . . . mostly. When Mary Ann and Cindy suggested we do our next Project Design on home workspaces, my first reaction was, yes, what a great idea, since we are all working from home. And then I started second-guessing because my home workspace is not like the beautiful images I save to my Pinterest board titled, "Work & Creative Spaces." In fact, it's far from ...
