We came to terms with something about our new house this weekend: we just don’t have enough stuff to furnish the whole thing right now. Our new house is 1000 more square feet than our last house (which was 1000 …
Let’s say these are our favorite functional purchases, and not necessarily the ones we love just because they look good, like the Clare Elsaesser print in our bedroom. Completely different post. The pieces we wouldn’t want to live without again. Ready? …
