The Most Epic List of Olympic “Metals” in Honor of the Olympic Medals
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been obsessed with the Summer Olympics this year. I’m usually obsessed, but this year took it to a whole nother level. Most people I know have felt the same way.

Checkerboard is Definitely Still Trending in 2024
Checkerboard is still trending in 2024, even though naysayers keep being naysayers. Designers, including me, think that it’s a classic pattern that will certainly ebb and flow in and out of favor.

18 Things That Are Giving Me Life Right Now
This series is shaping up to be one of my favorites. I love making lists of everything including grocery lists, to-do lists, Christmas lists and literally anything that could be made into a list. So what could be more fun than scouring the internet in search of things that “give me life”. These are things that almost take my breath away and make me take a second, third and sometimes a fourth look.
Designer & Diy’er pumped up on caffeine and willing to create anything. I want to let women know they can do it and if they don’t want to, I will.
