If I had a studio, I would call this a studio tour, but it’s really just a second-hand desk, a dining room cabinet, and the story of how getting organized with a few new-to-me pieces has changed the way I work.

I have been kind of obsessed with improving the Polka Dot Cottage shopping experience this week. I’ve also made a few new things, continued my quest to get some storage space back, and had some experiences with nature.

It’s been a long month, LOL! Maybe two projects was too many, but I’m glad I did them. I’m ready to be done, and to be free to work on whatever I feel like working on (including nothing, if that’s how I feel)!
