  • Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner

    Today, we are talking all things bedroom. When you are finished with this episode you will be able to create a true retreat space that helps you feel rested, recharged, revitalized, and rearing to go. The average human being spends 1/3 of their life asleep, and that isn’t even counting lazy Sunday afternoons reading in bed, so just think of all the time you are spending in your bedroom. There is no reason this space should feel like anything other than a sanctuary. You’re going to be there for a while, you might as well enjoy it.

  • Mr. Blue Sky

    Staying inspired is pretty critical when it comes to creative endeavors. If you’ve been through the renovation process or even just a few light upgrades, you know the experience can be challenging at times, and it’s not uncommon to want to give up, or lose interest, or swear you’ll never do another project again. You’re not alone in that, it’s totally normal to want to call it quits, especially when you’re in the midst of tough decisions and tight time lines.  I am here to give you resources to be inspired, stay in flow, keep moving and keep creating. Ready?
