In an effort to take a break from working 24-7, I’ve been making efforts to just zone out while making things. My latest obsession has been resin, which is actually super easy to work with, as long as you have the right tools. I’ve added my own TikTok channel just for crafts and making things, which is pure fun and not serious at all. But hopefully helps others get inspired. @lindsstephenson Making #resin trays in retro 80s patterns. #DIY #resinart #resinpour #resinmold #resinartist ♬ Stories 2 – Danilo Stankovic SHOPPING LIST: Silicone Mat   |.  Art Resin | Neon Resin Tint&nbs ..read more

So many new things to share, it’s hard to know where to begin. When I started my blog in 2004 I was at the start of my design career journey – having left a corporate desk job, and starting a small personalized stationery company from a basement apartment I shared with my new husband. My blog between 2004 and 2022 documented it all. Family highs and lows, successes and failures. I decided, however, I needed a fresh start for my blog going into 2022. The pandemic jolted us and made me protective of my little family bubble, I lost some friends, and strengthened relationships with others. But I ..read more

The walkway connecting the side of our house to our garden has been wrought with issues – grass wouldn’t grow there, and in the winter months it would pool with water and turn into an ice rink. In Summer  it is just a muddy mess. We decided therefore, while we were adding wood cladding to the pool that we would keep the momentum going and build a mini walkway by the gate. A mini boardwalk, which seemed fitting also as we live close to the Beach. It started with us digging out the ground, in order to place some rocks for better drainage. We were originally going to just make a straight w ..read more

I’ve been bookmarking artwork for our home and have fallen in love with some art that has turned out to be downloadable prints. I’ve never done this route before, but I’m seriously considering getting a big piece done like one of the above and sending it to an online framing company for finishing. Shop some of my faves here.  ..read more

After 14 years in this house I started to itch for a change in our living room. I think it’s 50% pandemic fatigue and being in the house every.single.day and 50% just my own personal style changes. Thankfully Aubrey has been patient and encouraging of my need for change, and has been supportive with need for changes. Here is how our living room was as of a few months ago. As you can see from the top, to the picture below – I took down the gallery wall and, console table.  So far the only thing I have done is repainted the wall and added a new pillow. LOL. The couch and coffee table are s ..read more

So I’ve been searching for a retro sticker book forever, with no luck. You know the ones that have pull back pages, so you can protect your awesome collection. After over a year of searching I realized the only way to get one for myself was to have them manufactured. I was sure that my obsession wasn’t limited to me, so I decided to make it myself. I hoped that I’d find like minded, retro obsessed people who were also looking for a retro style sticker book. Six months of research and development and they FINALLY arrived, and I’m so flipping excited! The sticker book is the perfect place to st ..read more
