    A Ceramicist’s Intimate, Elegant Wedding on Mallorca (DIY Candleholders Included)

    October 5, 2023 - By 

    RM: Tell us about the ceramics! DJ: The ceramic dishes are by ARC, and we made the candleholders ourselves out of plaster! We found these amazing handmade tall candles at a small shop in Palma that we loved, and they were such a dynamic addition to the table that we were inspired to make our own holders. We applied the technique I use for mold-making in my work, and together we designed a simple geometric shape that went with the tablescape. We were really pleased with how they turned out. I might even make a ceramic version in the future.…

    The Saga of Jess’ $3k Vintage Toilet (+ Her Bathroom Design Plan!)

    October 4, 2023 - By 

    There are a few things I never thought I’d love and as the title suggests, that thing is a vintage toilet (and as you and I will come to find out…a VERY expensive one). When I toured my apartment for the first time this toilet was a PERK. The Grecian style pattern, the above-average seat height, the cute blue stamp on the inside of the bowl, what more could I have wanted?! This love affair continued for over two years until one day she wasn’t flushing well, the tank wasn’t filling properly, and now (after some temporary problem-solving) the eternal…

    Not everyone wants to downsize when they retire. As a matter of fact, 75% of baby boomers say they would like to age in place for as long as they can. But at some point as we age, it is likely that we will either want to downsize or have to downsize. For those of you who have already downsized at least once, you know what a monumental task it is to reduce a lifetime of possessions from your large home that your kids grew up in into a smaller home that better suits your empty nest or retired lifestyle.…

    Pros and Cons of a Walk-in vs. Reach-in Closet

    October 2, 2023 - By 

    Most people think that space is the only important factor in their closet design; they don’t venture into other factors that can determine if you need a walk-in closet or reach-in closet. Instead, they think that just because you have a large enough space, a walk-in is right for you. They’re mistaken! Personal preference and style are pivotal factors that play into whether you should invest in one or the other. A well-designed closet is a thing that many homeowners will strive to achieve. But, before you begin your closet design process, first know the pros and cons of each type…

    Should my garage be a part of the Feng Shui?

    September 30, 2023 - By 

    This is such a great question, and like so many things in Feng Shui there is a ton of information out there that’s likely confusing the hell out of you, am I right? As of this writing, there are currently ninety-eight million articles regarding Feng Shui. There are over thirty million articles and videos just on Feng Shui and garages. Holy Moly! And over the years, I’ve seen so many opinions that have made me shake my head! Because a garage is “storage” and holds so much of our stuff, it doesn’t count. Since it’s an outside space, it’s not…
