Books I Read in 2022… and Reading Recommendations

Self-care Sunday // Awaken Your Heart & Brain Connection

Townhouse Tour // My Closet Room Reveal
I’ve had some pretty amazing closets in the past and have turned my last two offices into a closet/dressing room/home office combination because it just made sense for my work, but this is the first time I’ve had an entire room dedicated to my wardrobe and I have to say, I am very excited about …

DIY / How To Turn a Ceiling Fan into a Pendant Lamp without Re-wiring
This DIY should technically fall under Renter Hacks because if I owned this place I would have simply hired someone to remove this ceiling fan and install a pendant lamp and call it a day (I don’t mess with electrical). But sometimes having constraints forces you to get a little creative and that’s just what …
