Around the Studio

Production work at The Dedication Company.  Each locket in the line is vintage and most of them are in rough shape and need repair.  I refinish each one to new condition.  The locket shown here have been repaired/restored and are ready for a final hand polish before being turned into custom lockets.

 My dad finished his work on the new studio and its ready to go.  I'm excited to move in.

Bedroom Inspiration

I've been browsing tons of bedroom inspiration because we are moving around our room to incorporate a beautiful 1940s era hutch my grandmother is passing down to us.  The piece is beautiful and it will look gorgeous our light and bright bedroom. We currently have our bed at floor level so here's a floor/platform bed roundup to mark some inspiration for our bedroom: floorbeds/platform beds, simple & uncluttered space, white walls with muted tones for bedding & accents.

Four Styles of the Basic Black Jumpsuit

What do you do when there's a foot of snow on the ground in New England? You look at summer clothing all day.  These black jumpsuits have simple, clean lines providing a great blank canvas for that perfect necklace or pair of sandals.  You might even be able to get away with pairing these with a top and booties for colder months.
