Workshops

Retro Inspired Red, White, and Blue

Minimal Apartment Winter Decor
Winter brings on big bulky coats and rough commutes home, and snow days when you’re stuck inside for 24+ hours. After years of having all of my precious treasures out on display I am finally enjoying the benefits of minimal decor. It’s tough to pick and choose what to keep out when you think you…
