    Thanks so much Taryn for picking my jewelry hanger as you feature this week! Lots of great projects highlighted. Might have to snatch Liz’s plank bottomed chair idea for a custom desk and chair redo I need to do. The chair was originally cane but the cane was destroyed. I suggested a drop in padded seat but she might like this idea even better!!

Staircase reveal part one! SWIPE for the before an Staircase reveal part one! SWIPE for the before and to see all the details. This has been a major project over the course of the last 7 months, and it has been so exciting to see it all come together. My goal was to create an elegant and timeless look to our staircases, adding character with unique features of the railings, classic neutral runners with gold stair rods to complete the look and a moment for the large luxe chandelier that you can see from the courtyard. And of course a fresh look with smooth creamy walls. 

But I’m not entirely done just yet! Part 2 will be coming in 2026!
