Oh, hey. Hi! How are you? Let me take your coat cause you’re probably going to want to stay awhile. Hi again. How’s it going? Fancy a drink? Did I tell you that I’m planning a wedding? My own. Yeah, I know. As soon as I got engaged, I rushed out and bought the biggest La Mer eye cream jar I could find. Nothing is sadder than a bride with eye wrinkle issues. Fun fact: my fiance is vegan. But he buys rib eye steak for the dog, so it’s ok for us to trust him. Anyhow, have we met? Hello! Sit back, relax and watch me as I craft with the budget of a homeless person after a liquor run, cook like a carnivore living with a vegan and plan my dream (as well as your’s too, probably) wedding. And take off those shoes. These are hardwood floors.

Just found your blog from Apartment Therapy. Great ideas! Are you by chance a ten? Do you listen to TBTL? Your wit and thrifty shopping made me think that maybe you were.
Ha! Thanks!

Thank you!
Love all your ideas. Came across your site via Apartment therapy. FYI, your small white desk in your apartment was probably a vanity table at one time with fold-out arms which would have had a skirt attached.
Thank you! I’ve always wondered what the extra metal attachments in back was for.
wow is all I say wow SPECTACULAR great ideas for looking chic with out the price tag THANK YOU
Thanks for reading!
Like all the others, I found your blog on Apartment Therapy & like all of the others I love it! You’re like a young version of me but with a great writing style. I have a loft in Tribeca that I have lived in for 35 years & have pretty much furnished it with thrift store finds, street finds & friends art work. Next time you visit your sister, I would love for you to come by & visit & stay for tea & cake! Keep writing!
Thank you so much! Thrift stores are the best.
Love this blog!!!
Thank you!
I believe your blog is one of the very best !! Had my first look at it today while looking at the do over in NYC of your sister’s apt. Love all your info and hope it will help me get moving on the stuff I keep collecting and leaving on shelves and in boxes.
Thank you! Good luck with organizing!
Great Blog! Great ideas, wonderful photos and actual spit out my coffee funny writing. Not many quality design and lifestyle blogs have such complimentary writing, so thank you for your original voice. Now let’s see some wedding planning! (no pressure or anything;)
Thank you! And thanks for reading! I’ll be posting up wedding things soon.
I love your blog – let me know when you are in NY, would love to see what you can do with my space..and you can stay!

Another one from AT here.
Ok- you’re just amazballs. If you ever feel like visiting Alaska *hint* I would be more than happy to hire you to decorate my house. I’m adding your blog to my daily read list because, besides it’s fantastic nature, a girls got to have something to do at work.
Thank you!
Found your bolg from Apartment Therapy, too. Love your ideas for your Seattle apartment and
your sister’s place in NY. I guess our Goodwill sends all the good stuff to NY or Austin because
I never see anything like you do/found, here in Portland, Oregon. Or maybe I don’t have your “eye”. Looking forward to following your blog.
Thank you! I’ve never been to the Goodwill there but Portland has some great garage sales though.
Hi! I am loving your “sassy smart-ass” writing style & your “kick-butt low cost” transformations.
Thank you!
Please, please tell us how to make the pillow cover!
I’ll make sure to do a post about that. Thank you for reading!
Hi,
You have a GREAT decorating blog. Amazing job! You know you could turn this into a custom decorating business yes? I live in the Bay Area, am house-hunting with my hubby, and would so love to pick your brain about color/idea/craft projects. Anyway, if you ever want spare cash/to work for yourself, I think you have a future here. Enjoy Seattle!
Thank you so much for the boost of confidence! I started off doing it on the side, because it was something that I love doing. Over the years, it’s become increasingly profitable and luckily, I am still as passionate about it as I was from the start. And I love the Bay Area! It was a toss up between living in Seattle and that, a year ago. We’re extremely happy with our choice but love visiting SF every now and again.
Great news. Well if you ever have a Bay Area ping me and maybe we can talk about a project. Have fun with your future work!
I discovered your blog just the other day from Apartment Therapy and it has quickly jumped to the top of my list. You are amazing. I thought I did a good job decorating my place but your blog has me about to completely redecorate my tiny Seattle Studio. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks for finding me! Good luck on redecorating your studio! You should check out Earthwise Architectural Salvage…they have some really great old pieces.
Neat
i am currently finding a little studio to stay for a year or two, i cant wait to shop and do a bit of transforming to my little future finds like you do. i love the way you yap along and the way you teach, well, more like just seriously telling us your steps. all so logically done. <3<3
