What’s In My Cart: Recent Trader Joe’s Finds

I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who dislikes Trader Joe’s.  Not everyone loves how busy it can get or maybe the parking lots (Lincoln Park TJ’s parking lot is SO TIGHT) but you can’t beat their innovative products and delightfully helpful staff.  I love me some good Trader Joe’s finds and am always adding […]

Before + After: Why We Added Picture Frame Moulding

Last January, I felt an itch to take on a small home project.  My friend and neighbor showed me the new chair rail she put on her stair case and also added molding/wallpaper to her dining room.  I was shook–it looked SO GOOD and I needed to know how/why/who.   I love the details of moulding; […]
