Despite having a small apartment kitchen, it has always been my favorite room in our place. Over the years I have made it feel very homey and although I crave more storage, it works great for the two of us. I have a Kitchen Shop Page, but I wanted to do a blog post (and […]

Ah, April.. It is officially Spring, which means lilac season is finally here. I look forward to giant bunches of fresh lilacs every year and once April rolls around our local farmers markets and flower mart are filled with this perfectly light scented floral. Lilacs have long been one of my favorite flowers mostly because […]

After a few requests I finally put together an Amazon Shop! I used to have one, but in an effort to highlight some other retailers and small online businesses a few years ago I stoped linking to them as much. However, it is inevitable that most of us shop there and some pieces I buy […]

For as long as I can remember, I have always loved organizing. In some weird way it calms me down and I love knowing where everything is. However, when it comes to our small kitchen pantry I seem to always have the best of intentions to keep it tidy and about a month later it […]
