It's Monday, and today I'm tending to my sunburned legs. I did a whoopsie, and my non-sunscreened legs soaked up the rays while I was cleaning up the patio. Ouchies. Won't make that mistake again. Anyhoo, while my feet are up, I thought I'd pop in real quick for another edition of Beautiful Distractions! Tomorrow, I'll be going live o[...]
We're all cooped up with the COVID lockdown, but as an introvert, I'm oddly enjoying the silence.

2018 is going to be the year wallpaper shines. I can't tell you how many estate sales I attended where it was the star. Time capsule homes with wallpaper in the bathroom, master bedroom, living room, and even on the ceiling. I'd snap a picture, post it to Instagram Stories and the response was bonkers.

I spend a lot of time in front of the computer...and I mean a lot. Half of the week, I'm in the city for work. The other half, I'm sitting in my work from home office.
