Welcome! šš» Say hey in the comments! š„°
Allow myself to introduceā¦myself. (If you know what movie thatās from then weāre def going to be friends. š)
For anyone new to my page, hereās the āhow it started, how itās goingā!
And for those whoāve been following for a while, here are some bonus fun facts about me:
- I LOVE crossword puzzles and try to do one every day. I need a #2 pencil and my German stainless steel sharpener next to me when I do them. When my dadās in town we compete to see who can do the same puzzle fastest. I ALWAYS win by a mile and yes, I ALWAYS gloat obnoxiously. š
- I have a huge weakness for British TV shows, police dramas in particular. Iāll watch the same whodunits over and over, even though I know the ending. Faves include Suspects, Unforgotten, and Endeavour. My daughter has been speaking in an English accent and using phrases like āshall weā, I blame my programming choices 100%. š
- My all-time favorite food is ice cream, but donāt insult me with plain old vanilla or chocolate. I love cookie dough, brownie chunk, and anything with huge lumps of other desserts wedged in the ice cream. I then pick those bits out and leave sad, plain vanilla and chocolate behind. š«£
P.S. That first line is from Austin Powers, which I can still recite word for word even though itās been 25 years since that movie came outā¦yet somehow I canāt recall what I ate for lunch! š„µ

I suck at money. And I say that as someone who paid off $50,000 in credit card debt in 2024.
Hereās the part I donāt love admitting: since I paid it off, Iāve mostly been treading water. Keeping the debt down, getting nowhere with my larger goals. Turns out my habits and mindsets that created the debt in the first place arenāt gone, theyāre just slightly more in check.
So now Iām trying something different. Iām setting my 2027 money goals in November, not January, because January-me always means well but never follows through. Iām determined that 2027 is the year I actually get better at money. Not out of urgency, not under the gun, but as a new way of living. Saving as much as possible this year, while still budgeting for fun stuff too.
And this time Iām not doing it alone. I found a credit union near me through @BackboneCoalltion. Many credit unions provide free financial coaching for members, and are a great resource for financial education, setting goals, and meeting them. And because credit unions are not for profit, their advice is actually tailored to your best interests, not what makes them the most money.
If youāve got financial goals of *any* kind in 2027, a credit union is the best kept secret to get you there! Head to the link in my bio and find one at the Backbone website.
Then send this to the friend who always says āIāll start in January.ā And stay tuned because Iāll keep you updated with how my savings journey is going throughout the year!

10 years, zero checked bags. āļø Comment TRAVEL to shop my road-tested travel essentials.
None of this stuff is sexy. But itās the reason I can walk off the plane and hop in my Uber while everyone else is still twiddling their thumbs at baggage claim.
Carry-on only isnāt about packing less. Itās about traveling calmer: no lost luggage, no waiting, no lugging a giant suitcase over cobblestones (if youāve been to Europe with kids and a stroller, you know how key this is).
Hereās all the travel gear I use to make it work, plus my exact 5-day packing list on the last slide. Save it for your next trip! š

The last one 𤮠Whoās with me?
Hereās 5 things that keep me up at night as a designer who has a brain thatāsā¦more than a little quirky. š
As I get deeper into perimenopause Iām noticing things about my neuromakeup that make me good at what I do. My eye for detail, and the way I canāt unsee things that bug me until I fix them.
Iām also less concerned with taste and style and more with what feels good to live in. So if a heated toilet seat is your jam then go do that cozy poop!
Curious to know though, who also gets the brain shivers from any of these??
Oh and I realize thereās only 4 in the video, I cut the fifth one for length but it was couches with separate cushions that shift and slide and you feel like youāre falling into the Grand Canyon between them. I need a bench cushion or Iām sitting on the floor! (Which I often do anyway because of my aforementioned quirky brain.)

If I had to renovate our kitchen all over again, Iād make most of the same choicesāwhich is a good thing because I donāt think I can live through another 11-month renovation. š Swipe through for what weāre still loving after a year!
A lot of the choices we made had to to with the existing shape of the kitchenāa long, narrow space isnāt my first choice but we did our best with it! (Can you guess the one thing I wish I could change?)
This might be my absolute favorite thing in the kitchen, a pull-out trash and recycling is truly elite. (You donāt need a renovation to install one, you can buy the hardware and convert most cabinets to a pull out trash!)
I love the look of a tile backsplashāthere are so many gorgeous tile options out there!ābut not having grout to scrub is also a win.
Drawers over cabinet doors for me every time! And the secret pull-outs for flatware etc. help keep small items organized.
The only problem with this is now I want every drawer to be touch open!
I canāt believe we almost didnāt put a prep sink in. Thankfully I came to my senses before it was too late and we were able to make a changeāotherwise Iād have had to walk around the island to the big sink every time I needed to wash something or fill a pot!
Not having the cabinet drawers poking out beyond the cabinet when theyāre open is so key for smooth flow in the kitchen.
The flip-up style of this door allowed me to maintain the lines Iād created with the pantry cabinet handles.
Halo and Indie love using the microwave!
Lighting is like jewelry for a room, I never miss a chance to make a statement with it!
13 things Iād do exactly the same if I had to renovate my kitchen again!
This is the most used spot in our house. The kids do art projects here, I use it as my deskā¦
Such a fun surprise to have cookbooks here.
If you have to do dishes you may as well have a nice view.
The tall pantry cabinets are so much more useful when thereās pulloutsāas opposed to deep shelves for things to get lost!
Someone asked me recently if the flush-style cabinet edge makes wiping crumbs hard and it 100% has been a non-issue!
Okay so I know it would mean reworking the whole layout but Iād defi

Itās me, Iām boring people. š¤
#ad | These are fun clothes for people who think navy is too bold. And theyāre all from @fabrique.official āa collective of 400+ designers worldwideāwith a quality and attention to detail that get someone like me to wear argyle and call it personal growth.
My method for honoring my inner neutrals nerd while still having fun with fashion: patterns with rules, silhouettes that do the talking, and cost-per-wear math on absolutely everything.
Or as I think of it: Every piece here was edited by my taste and verified by my research. (The research, in this case, being a squat test and a spreadsheet).
Outfit 1: Cecilia reversible coat (plaid ā solid, and the scarf flips too) Ā· Saoirse balloon-sleeve cardigan by Mark Scartani Ā· Oakley merino herringbone pants
Outfit 2: Tilda camel coat by Giuseppe Fanelli Ā· Cassy speckled-merino argyle Ā· Glaire deconstructed jeans by Adriano Goldschmied
Every element makes this details geek so happy. Because I might not get out much, but I still want to look fab when I do.
Want the shopping info including links, sizing, and 10% off with my code byAnne? Comment BORING and Iāll send them to youā¦a sentence nobody has ever typed before, probably. š
Boring person. Not boring taste. #fabrique

Weāre living in a common sense drought.
The comments I get every time I post about my kitchen truly bring my so much laughter and joy.
How do I clean my pendants, John? Just like I clean everything elseāwith a rag and soap. And what color was the ceiling supposed to be painted? A greasy hue to hide the residue from the Thanksgiving turkeys I'm apparently deep frying every day?
My spices are too far from where I use them? Well, Janet, this is the reminder you clearly need that viewing photos and video on a 3āx4ā screen is not the same as experiencing distances and proportions in real life.
The inner silverware drawer is slow and cumbersome, Mike? Sure, if you're competing in the silverware olympics and that extra 0.0023 seconds is the difference between silver and gold, then an inner drawer may not be the right choice for you.
No, Rhonda. That 14"x14" prep sink is not the only sink. I don't live in an RV.
And hey Randi, if an overhang is the permission you need to leave messes lying around indefinitely, then enjoy your overhang and say hi to your resident salmonella for me!
Who knew a kitchen would bring so many gems out of the woodwork...pun intended!

Survived a week of solo parenting in style! Comment OOTD and Iāll send you the round up of everything I wore for quick, comfy, and cute mom style outfits that kept me on track with the kiddos while my husband was traveling.
Bonus, lots of them are on sale right now! And I made sizing notes and updated all my discount codes too, comment OOTD and Iāll DM you deets!

Iām reclaiming my time š and it feels GOOD.
Weāve tried going screen-free in the bedroom, and it just wasnāt practicalā¦I play music, listen to white noise, and use my phone as a baby monitor, but Iām still determined to stop that mindless pre-bed scroll. Because more than ever, my reset at the end of each day is *essential* for my sanity.
So Brick Night from @getbrick is my perfect happy medium. It uses Bluetooth to set a radius around my room and automatically blocks the apps I choose as soon as I walk in. No remembering and no willpower required at the end of a long day (when I have exactly none left).
And already, that itchy-fingered temptation to scroll feels less. Itās a huge step in the right direction. My bedroom downtime stays the most important part of my day, and Iām only sharing it with the people who matter. Not with my phone.
What pulls you in at night: email, the feed, or something else? #brickpartner

I spent four years planning this kitchen. Four years. There were endless mockups, there were strong opinions, and there was a weekend spent taping the entire layout on the floor with painterās tape to test it before committing.
These are the seven decisions Iād make if I had to start all over again (shudder at the thought). The stone backsplash with zero grout to scrub, the dishwasher thatās totally hidden, the complete lack of lower cabinets because drawers beat doors and I will die on that hill.
One of these even started a fight in my comments last time I posted it, but Iāll defend all these with fists and my razor sharp wit if need be.
So save this for your next kitchen project, or just for the next time youāre in an argument about silverware drawers and need a visual aid to prove your point. I have an easy-to-reference list of 13 in my September 16 carousel, for the truly committed.
Which one are you stealing first? And yes, thatās my tiny sous chef at the end. She has opinions about this kitchen too (well, about everything really).
Four years of overthinking. Hours you need to spend: 0. (But if youāre like me you will anyway!)
