Dining Room Update
I’m back with another renovation/update post and today it’s my dining room. It’s not really a “room” per se since my condo has a pretty open concept to it, but it’s the dining area, let’s say.

So one thing to note is that since the layout is pretty open, things like the paint color and floor changes are the same for my living room, hallway, stairs – all of which I…

Updated Desk
In fall 2018, I shared my new desk. A super stylish, sleek twilight blue writing desk. Since I moved out of my townhouse and in to my condo, the desk was one of the pieces of furniture I brought with me. I’ve turned my guest room in to a sort of office/guest room. I’m planning to get a day bed in there eventually, but for now it’s only got a standing lamp, standing mirror, my desk, and my clothes rack. So when I had the desk at the townhouse, I basically never used it. It was in an awkward corner in the living room and my brother kind of took…

Keeping Pests Away
This is a sponsored post, but all opinions are my own. If you know me in real life then you know I do not like bugs, spiders, or any other kind of pest at all. Who does? I mean, there are some people who don’t mind them, but that’s not me. I hate them so much that I can’t even kill them – I’m that afraid of them! I need someone else to get them for me or I have to vacuum them and that’s even a scary task for me to do despite being a whole vacuum hose away from the bug. I have been this way all my…
