Virtual learning/home schooling wasn’t fun and g

Virtual learning/home schooling wasn’t fun and got the best of me today. I know it will get easier? But until then, let’s talk about rolling carts! I love rolling carts (or furniture with wheels bc I’m small and like to move things around)! This system is all over our house from my studio, the kitchen to the kids bedrooms and a home office. They are interchangeable and super versatile. The cart that is now in our kitchen that houses the pots, pans and produce used to be at our front door as an organizational unit and catch all there, as well as in my studio next to my sewing table that held fabric. At one point it was in our dining room as a bar. The shelving units are in our living room and used to be in the VKD studio. They also used to act as a make shift foyer closet in our old house. We have been pushing these around our life for the past 7 years!

We see you working + learning every day! YOU CAN D

We see you working + learning every day! YOU CAN DO IT! Instead of school shopping for clothes and supplies we prepared for the best at home. After I presented a very bad sketch but had a clear vision my Dad helped me finish off this learning nook for the kids. Even though Liv is going to in-person Pre-K twice a week they both need a place to land and learn at home.
We repurposed items I already had like this “duo desk” shelf, plant trellis/wall grid, picture ledge and file rack (all IKEA), metal clips and pencil pails from the old VKD studio. The clock is from an apartment of mine from 2002, the ABCD poster is an old VKD promo from 2015. The only thing I bought new were the black clip boards, flash cards (from Amazon) and a printable monthly calendar (from Etsy). We are prepared for these first few weeks to be a learning curve and will take it with stride bc no one really knows exactly what we are all doing anyway. Cheers and 🙏🏼 to all the kids, teachers, parents and care givers for this 2020-21 school year.

Three years ago today I began celebrating my 40 ye

Three years ago today I began celebrating my 40 years on this earth at Storm King Art Center. I’d been wanting to go visit this art center for many years. I remember that day I wasn’t feeling connected with myself and felt so lost. As we moved through the Center I began feeling those familiar, creative, internal instincts open back up. To be in the presence of these sculptures on this gorgeous land can be described as a “religious experience. The moment I started to approach the Richard Serra installation, Schunnemunk Fork, I felt an immediate pull to that entire installation in its placement, the long walk approaching, the materials carved into the land and the enormity of its simple but complex nature. I suddenly became emotional and I felt immediately connected. All the light bulbs went off and the my brain was firing in a million directions. It was one of the most beautiful things I’ve experienced to this day. Wishing you all these moments where we rediscover and embrace our power in this temporary world. 🖤✌🏽

You inspire and give me continuous hope. I love ea

You inspire and give me continuous hope. I love each and every one of you that has supported my small business these last few months. Making masks has been a transition into a new part of business I never thought possible. To date I have made around 600 masks for you, your friends+family and bc of your mask purchases I have been able to donate masks to our local police department plus small businesses and organizations. But mostly you have kept the lights on in the studio and for that I’m am super grateful and will never stop thanking you. Stay safe and have a great weekend friends. ✨🖤✨🖤✨

My favorite piece of furniture we have is this cre

My favorite piece of furniture we have is this credenza that my grandfather made. He was the type of person who would research anything to make whatever he wanted. He was a farmer from Indiana by trade but had many hobbies like making furniture, jewelry and later on in life stain glass sculptures. He taught himself how to do all of this. This credenza he made to match a cherry wood dining cabinet for my grandparents dining room. He cut down the cherry tree on their property, milled the wood in his barn and made sure every detail matched to complete their dining set. He also made a mirror that was attached to this but I separated them. (Seen in last photo) I also added new hardware to the credenza to update the look. But overall, these pieces are timeless and a reminder that I can do anything I set my mind to do. And hopefully, my kids will see it that way too some day. 🖤

A couple weeks ago we said goodbye to the house we

A couple weeks ago we said goodbye to the house we made a home in for the past twelve years. It was (is) a bittersweet goodbye as we LOVED this little house so much along w/our sweet neighbor friends made over the years. BUT, we only moved 8 blocks away! Designing and styling this house took 12 years to get just the way I wanted and I learned so much about myself along the way. Our new house is coming along much faster bc of my formula developed over the years. We sold this property after being on the market for 10 days. It was a crazy experience to say the least prepping, packing, moving and selling during shelter in place and with so my restrictions and unknowns. But we did it thanks to @sellwithnell from @dwellwelcomehome who also found us our new gem in The Hill. And I look forward to sharing our new home as we settle into it more and more. 🖤✨🤍✨🖤✨🤍

Being able to create masks using my custom print fabrics for all of you has been something that has brought joy to me in this strange and challenging time especially when it’s been mostly assembly and production and not a lot of creativity in the studio the last few months. Being able to see the finished product look like a piece of wearable art is most rewarding. 🖤🤍🖤

It’s our 9th wedding anniversary today! (But I like to get credit for all the hard working years committed which is almost 14 years.) We had our wedding at @friedmanfarms on this day August 6, 2011 and it poured cats and dogs the entire day and night. It was one of the most fun and beautiful days and nights we remember. We were married Quaker style, aren’t Quaker, but PA is a Quaker state and we loved the idea that we would marry ourselves witnessed by all of our loved ones. We promised to love and support each other through all of the darkest and brightest moments of life while the rain pelted down on the metal barn roof. Then all 120 guests signed our marriage license as witness to our commitment to each other. Our color scheme was blue, red and yellow (the primary colors) against everything white and wood. I chose those colors to accent the sapphire engagement ring that David had made for me bc it was my birthstone. I danced so hard that night I couldn’t walk down the stairs for three days bc I had a constant Charlie horse in both legs. Cheers to us @zenboz! I know you love me and all my grammatical errors and typos. 🤍 (Also, I wore my navy wedding dress from @nadascranton to dinner tonight! Swipe to the end to see us getting ready for our date)

Had the most fun today styling a pop up guest room for an upcoming visit with my parents! I used two camping cots with a foam topper to create the queen size bed, two metal chairs for side tables with clip lights and wall art for the “headboard”. Sharing the room video tour in stories. 🖤🤍🖤

I realized I forgot to share these images here which were taken by one of our fav humans @amandagracefrieder during our shelter in place. She volunteered her talents to shoot family portraits from a safe distance to help and create light and joy during such a dark time. And looking back on these now they still sum up our little family and make me laugh so hard and I love them so much. Grateful to forever have these to remember this insane time in history with some light hearted moments. 🖤✨🖤

When mask wearing becomes so fun for your kids you

When mask wearing becomes so fun for your kids you become extra proud of them for being so resilient and reminding me as an adult that change can be ok, that they will look out for those around them and they can make the darkest days bright. Trust and protect our children. They are the better future.

Made something for the first time in the new space

Made something for the first time in the new space today. EC Pillows for a customer order!
It felt so great to be back at it but also awkward bc I am still find my footing (and all of my stuff) after moving into a very adaptive space inside our new home. A few years ago I restored and reupholstered this mid-century Danish rocker. It was in the master bedroom buried under my husbands clothes in our old house. (I’m sitting in it as I type) It’s living its best rocker life now. 🖤

Celebrating A’s 7th birthday with everything LEG

Celebrating A’s 7th birthday with everything LEGO and Minecraft. He is super enthusiastic about design and building. Over the past few months he has come to life through both of these outlets (with the addition of drawing). We have a collaborative plan to design his bedroom into a Minecraft LEGO lounge and inspiration station. So grateful to have this little person in my life to see and hear about his creations and the passions that drive him. 💚🖤💚🖤💚🖤
