More Than a Living Room
posted by tracey
Divorce isn’t easy. Not an earth-shattering statement, I know, but I think it’s important to start there. In a divorce, one of the biggest changes is living space. Sometimes both parties move out of the current living space and sometimes just one moves and one stays. I’m not sure which is more difficult – they both have their upsides (and their downsides). For me, I’m the one that stayed. In the ‘plus’ column, I didn’t have to move all of my stuff and I didn’t have to look for a new place. On the ‘minus’ side of things, I’m still living in the space that was once...
In the Dog House
posted by tracey
Ok, I’m not literally “in the dog house,” but anyone as obsessed with animals as I am (you know who you are) knows whose house it really is. In fact, I probably should have titled this post, “In the Dog’s House,” AKA, Lucy’s Condo. Whether it’s...

Ever since I wrote the post Antiquing in Chicago, I’ve started looking at shops in a different way. For many years, I’ve taken shots of random items, displays, etc. when I’ve found something that I like or even if I’m just inspired by the color, idea, layout, etc. But...

Hello again, my friends. It’s been a while. I don’t want to get into too much detail, this is a blog about home decor after all, but I feel I should explain my blogging absence. I started this blog when my ex and I were still living together as a way to look towards the future...

Dish It Out
posted by tracey
One of the things I used to enjoy changing up in my home before I was married were my dishes. Every 4 or 5 years, I would donate my current set to family, friends or goodwill and buy a new set. My ex prefers to keep dishes much more long term, so we’re still using the dishes from our...
Shopping Brief No. 1
posted by tracey
I’ve been spending some time these past few months buying up little items here and there for my new space. Being in limbo in this divorce isn’t always easy and focusing on the future is sometimes very, very necessary. Rather than write out long diatribes about the items I’ve...
