2020 goal : a disco ball in every room.

The day our house was used for a photo shoot. So much fun to watch. The crew and models were great.

I found these two tables at a church flea market. Who doesn't love a scalloped edge? Before & After.

I have so many disco balls here, but you can't own too many.

New oven! Mint Green.

My cobalt blue Viking Range that I scored on Craigslist for a couple hundred bucks died.It lasted 5 years. I sold it on Craigslist to someone who wanted it for parts and purchased a brand new mint green oven. After months of living with a gas oven that would just turn on by itself! this is such a nice change.
