sneak peak

After several months of hard work and microwave dinners, our kitchen remodel is coming to an end. We are still waiting on the hood and a few other minor details before I post the big reveal, but here is a little sneak peak:

Knack

I just discovered a wonderful shop in Greenville, SC, via The Style Files. Knack is great little shop that refinished/repurposes furniture and other home goods.








Simply wonderful.

I'm back.

I've been completely overwhelmed with obligations, activities and projects this past month. It has been way too long since I've posted anything. Much has happened and I don't even know where to start...
1.Renegade went well. It was exhausting, but good. I'm so grateful for the amazing help of our Chicago friends, Angie, Erica and Tiffany!! All in all, UrbanPosture made some good connections and now we have a pile of work that needs to be done sooner than later!



2. Our kitchen is almost finished. Expect a post in the near future with updated photos of the progress.

3. My dear friend, Jen, is pregnant with her second child. I can't wait to be an aunt again! Now, if I could just get Sophie to say: 'Auntie Sarah'... Oh, and my sister-in-law is due the first part of November and my good friend, Jennifer had a baby boy on Thursday. What does all this really mean? I better get knitting if I'm going to have handmade presents in time for Christmas!!

4. I got spectacles. (I confess that they are only 25% needed and 75% wanted.)

5. Jacob has been working on an amazing new song that makes me disconsolate every time I hear it-it's that good. I hope it makes it one this record; it truly needs to be. Jacob is working hard on getting the record finished - probably not this year, but hopefully, early next year. We've made some great friends in the process and are so thankful for the support and encouragement along the way. Oh, did I mention that I got to record my piano parts on a baby grand!



6. The kitchen and bath world has been extremely busy as well, which is the main reason for my absence. However, long work hours=money, which is much needed!
I will attempt to write more updates this month. The Holidays are right around the corner and they bring ample opportunities for projects!
