7. Black and white Amazon capsule

I wanted to buy a few new pieces that mix and match for summer. I spent about $162 on this wardrobe capsule and it’s all about classic black and white. I especially like the look of a monochrome black or white outfit, but of course they all mix and match. It’s perfect for packing light!

6. 3 things I did to lose 17 pounds

Here’s a personal post that’s a little difficult to share. Last year I gained at least 17 pounds. (Actually probably 20, but I wasn’t very into weighing myself.)

2. Painting doors my favorite sage

I’m painting more things my favorite sage color! It offers subtle color, but still acts as a neutral. It’s quite calming and a nice change from my always black/white/gray decor. I painted the front door and have a trick up my sleeve to share for painting the hinges gold to match the handle.

1. DIY hidden tv art frame

I wanted a way to hide the big black box! The new TVs with frames and digital art are cool, but expensive and I wanted an option that worked without having the TV on all the time. So I decided to make a frame with art canvas panels that open like binary doors. And you guys! It worked!!
