We took a last minute trip to the coast last weekend in Pacific City. Found the most fantastic little beach cottage, just big enough for our family, decked out in mid-century modern decor.

When we moved back in to our home after the remodel I was so happy to have my own private studio, no longer squeezed in a nook off the kitchen. My own sanctuary where I can close the door and create. A peek at the space where I spend my days:
Free Wall Art:
A group of designers assembled posters symbolizing their “favorite worst feedback” from clients. I printed up a few of my favs on white card stock and framed them up. View all posters from the Creative Catharsis Project here.
Why use a boring business card holder when you can use a pretty glass dish?

My other coworker:
A fun way to display kids artwork: I arranged a collage of some of my favorites, then had a piece of plexiglass cut to size and laid it over the desktop. Super easy to swap out when the kiddos bring home a new masterpiece.
A shout out to my journalism roots. I found this old newspaper box at an antique shop in Sellwood:

We recently took a trip to LA to visit our new nephew. After spending a few days in Santa Monica we packed up, said our goodbyes and started heading to the airport. But we had a secret. We were headed to The Happiest Place On Earth. They never saw it coming:
HEEEEEERE’S BOSLEY!!! I’m typically not a fan of ALL CAPS AND MULTIPLE EXCLAMATION POINTS!! in posts but that’s the only appropriate way to introduce our new bundle of energy.
BOZER. BOZER BOO. BOZERDOODLE. He plopped into our lives unexpectedly about a month back and BOY OH BOY OH BOY! He’s awesome. Loveable. So snugglishous. And oh! so! happy!
Keeps us on our toes. He likes to carry things around. And chew. We’ve had a few casualties. RIP Polly Pocket heads, Lego pieces, orphaned flip flops, and a gazillion stolen snacks. Our new mantra: Defend your food.
But he’s sweet as can be. My new coworker. The one that’s always interrupting and wanting you to join them on breaks.
And Madi’s new BFF. Up until the old girl tells him she NEEDS HER SPACE NOW. STOP FOLLOWING ME! (Boz doesn’t pick up on subtle hints).
Welcome to the fam, Bosley.
Drop it:
Who’s a good boy!
