Moving from the final countdown to the newborn stage then back to work, it’s been a blur. Two months in and I started back at work… if I’m being honest, I was sending work emails a month in. But I was doing that all safely from home while my baby was fast asleep in her…

It’s January and we’re in the thick of it. Knee deep in demolition, selections, and about 5 feet of snow (see below, I’m not kidding). I felt like I was on decision over-ride at this time, working with my own clients by day and then working on design decisions for my own home in the…
