![]() Little changes really can have a bigger impact than we might imagine! My dream for this house is still built-ins everywhere, but for now (and maybe forever, who knows LOL) creative solutions like this make me happy and remind me to be content with how far we’ve come. We’ll see, but at least this feels right (for now!). I’m actually starting to feel like a lot of things are finally landing where they will stay. ![]() I usually have a vision for where I’m headed, but it’s always a matter of timing and patience, as well as trying things until you land on what you like the best.

You might remember this piece from my navy office in our last house. It originally belonged to my dad and I believe he got it secondhand!
