My Quarantine Project
2020. Phew. What to say.
I’m not going to sugar coat it: 2020 has been difficult, but also surprisingly great.
I’ve had more time at home, which has allowed my husband and I to tackle the biggest DIY project we’ve ever done: building a brand new studio space in our new home.
When you give something your blood, sweat, and tears, you really know you care. And trust me, the studio got all three. I can’t put into words my thankfulness for my husband, Travis, for the sacrifices he made to make my vision a reality. The studio work has been a labor of his love for me, and I’m truly so thankful everyday to be a recipient of his steadfast love and support. Even as I write this at 11pm on a Friday night, he’s in the garage doing electrical wiring on what will become two beautiful mirror banks of vanity lights.
A thousand words of thanks, love.
We installed an eco friendly heated floor system, sketched out design concepts, got creative with resource availability when stores were closed, and Googled/YouTubed a LOT to figure out how to bring our ideas to life. Not everything went perfectly: cabinet stains didn’t hold, we tipped and broke a table saw in the process, our bodies were continually sore from the work, and more than a few tears of frustration were spilled. But, with great help from our family & friends (both in-person & emotional support wine happy hours), we officially opened our doors in mid-June and have been enjoying getting back to a “new normal” with clients this last month.
Watch the studio space unfold below.

As I begin to reemerge from my maternity leave and open my business up again, I thought it would be beneficial to reflect on these last few months. They’re consisted of some of the happiest & some of the most challenging days.
AI wrote a blog post for me. And then I actually wrote what I thought.
