House Tour // Outdoor Spaces

I’m so excited to take you on the first leg of my House Tour today! Let’s begin with the great outdoors! As I mentioned in my first post, I live in a condo/townhome. There’s an HOA, so we’re limited as to what we can do outside, but with approval we are allowed to make some updates.

In the front of each unit we have two parking spaces, and raised flower beds with stone retaining walls on either side of the door. In my previous post, I shared that I’m trying to improve my gardening skills, so I’ve been working on planting flowers in hopes of upping my curb appeal while secretly competing with my neighbor for who did it better (if you’re wondering, he’s winning).  And I’m also excited to reveal the other (bigger) changes I’ve made as well. Shall we begin?

Finding My Style // Home Decor

Tastes evolve over time. I never used to like asparagus, or broccoli, or peas… okay, I still don’t like peas, but I love, love, LOVE asparagus and can handle, and even enjoy, a side of broccoli if it’s steamed just right. But I digress, because this post isn’t about green veggies. But decor tastes can definitely change over time in the same way your taste buds can.

Hello world! Blog Reboot 2018

Hello! I’m Lisa, a 30-something currently living in suburban Philadelphia. I’m carving this space out here on the interwebs for a few reasons… First, I love to write! Second, I love art and design! And third, I’m at a point in my life where I need to be more accountable for my actions and responsible for the ramifications that result. Boy, that sounds SO serious and scary. But I just need to start making more of the right choices to nurture my mind, body and spirit. So I guess that does make it serious, at least to me.
