Yesterday, I just wasn’t in the mood to work on baseboards or door casings, so I decided to do a fun project. I was determined to figure out the arrangement for the one big, blank wall in the studio. Spoiler alert: I didn’t figure it out, and I didn’t get it finished. But I did... The post Trying To Figure Out My Big, Blank Wall appeared first on Addicted 2 Decorating ..read more

Last week kind of got away from me. Every time I’d try to get some work done on the studio, something else would need my attention.

When it comes to the my studio, I’m starting to feel like I’m trapped in Groundhog Day, repeating the same work day after day after day with only some slight variations and with no end in sight. But after I stopped working last night, I took some time to take inventory of what I still... The post The Studio Punch List appeared first on Addicted 2 Decorating ..read more

I showed y’all a few days ago how I had our landscape design plan printed and mounted so that I can frame it and display it on the wall by my desk in the studio.

We are now one quarter of the way through 2024. Three months down, and nine more to go. So how did I do on my New Year’s resolution during the months of March?

Yesterday’s poll about the possible changes to the studio office area cabinets had a very clear, unmistakable winner. And it wasn’t even close.

A couple of days ago, I shared how I’ve reached the point in the studio project where I start to second-guess some decisions. By the end of that post, I had convinced myself to just press forward with my vision, and not make any decisions about changes right now. On Tuesday evening, my mom came...
