I leave for Paris tomorrow, I’m excited to be showing it off to a friend who has never been. After a few days we will be in the Netherlands exploring that country. I’ll be posting about in on Instagram stories if you want to see what those places look like in autumn.
We’re starting on a kitchen refresh in our home in California, I’m replacing the old and chipped marble countertops and also the walnut wood top on the island with modern quartz. I’m swapping out some cabinets around the window for a few decorative open shelves and also repainting the cabinets. I’ll keep the creamy white color on the surrounding cabinets, but I’m debating what color to do for the island, I’m torn between mushroom taupe and olive green. I’m looking forward to refreshing that space before the end of the year, stay tuned for more on that project.

I look at your blog every day and you frequently mention projects you are working on and that you will be sharing photos soon, but you never do! I never see the follow-up post and I know I am not missing it because I look every day. Why is that?
I take my time with space renovations. Sometimes months. I don’t like to rush projects. Anything I’m working on eventually pops up on the blog when it’s ready to be revealed. Thank you for following along.
I adore your posts!!
Thank you so much Patty :)
That sounds amazing! Enjoy your trip to Paris and the Netherlands, and I’d love to follow your adventures on Instagram. Safe travels! 🌍📸✈️
