Redone Entryway and Landing Pad
Our apartment is blessed with a pretty decent entry space. There’s room to hang coats, take off shoes and drop your stuff when you come in. For the past year, however, it’s mostly been a parking lot for our bikes. While it was nice to have our bikes in a place where we knew they…

Air Plants: Suspended
I’ve been wanting some of these hanging glass balls for awhile, and I finally went out and got some. One was pricey from a specialty garden store, the other was a cheapy from CB2. Both work equally well for displaying these cool air plants, much better actually than the dish I had them sitting in…
