  • Recent Projects Around the House

    I made yet another trek to IKEA (somehow still forgetting the one damn thing I needed to return. Guess I’m keeping it now) to get some more stuff for our house now that we’re settled in enough to know what we need. One of the best purchases has been these bedside lamps for our room…
