Repost: Christmas in Sweden.
(Perhaps this reposting will kick-start a resumption of blogging in 2024? We’ll see!) In the United States, it’s not uncommon to hear Christmas music wafting from shop speakers as early as the beginning of November, but it’s not “Here Comes Santa Claus” or “Jingle Bell Rock”…

The finished dining room + floating banquette details.
Yay! It’s the finished dining room! I’m really, really pleased without how the floating banquette turned out. Pretty much every day I marvel at how it looks like it’s always been there. It’s exactly what this space needed to feel like an actual dining room rather than just a…

DIY floating banquette.
As I alluded to in my previous post about our small dining room area, the clear solution to creating a defined, purposeful space that feels separate from the living room area (despite them being fully open to each other as one large room) was to build a floating banquette in the…

Creating a defined dining area in an open space.
I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned the square footage of my house before, but it’s about 875 square feet. Enormous by NYC apartment standards, but small compared to the average American house. It was built in 1950, when lots of smaller homes were built all over the country to meet…

Download: Swedish Christmas music!
I decorated the fireplace mantel for Christmas last week, and I really love the combination of classic New Mexican architecture, modern design objects, and traditional Swedish decorations. It looks so festive and cheerful, especially with a roaring fire going! The Julbock…

The kitchen: Finished!
A mere seven months after my last kitchen renovation update, at last! The final reveal! In real-life, I “finished” the kitchen last January, but of course you never actually finish a renovation project, do you? Just looking around the room now I can immediately count at least…

How to keep your front-loading washer moisture-free!
If you have a front-loading washing machine, you know what it’s like to discover that you’ve closed the door too soon after finishing a cycle, having thought it was completely dry. You’ve done your duty and kept the seals clean and dry, you’ve diligently cleaned out the filter…

Where were we?
It’s been a long year. This is my fourth quarantine/pandemic-themed (inspired?) post, and if you could have told me back in March that I’d be writing this in December, I would have curled up and wept on the spot. Instead, as each month has passed, I’ve become more and more sad…

Rage.
I’ve written this post before, and I know I’ll write it again, and I think that knowledge is largely why I feel exhausted by the thought of writing it all down now. That exhaustion is my privilege. I’m a white woman living in a country that was built for the success and safety…

A new refrigerator! Pantry shelving!
Oy! I am SO sorry it’s taken me as long as it has to get this post up! I got the photos ready last Wednesday, and then spent five days trying to sit down to write without something else coming up. My attention span has been absolutely shot lately, and I swear that’s in part…

Baking. Eating. Drinking. More baking.
I didn’t intend for this to be a food post, but looking at the photos I just rounded up, it’s looking like it’s going to be a food post. It’s been 55 days since Friday the 13th, the day when a lot of us in the United States realized life was going to be very different for a…

Installing a stacked bond subway tile backplash.
Now, I know what you’re thinking looking at this photo: That backsplash looks great already, Dorfman, why in the world would you want to tile over it? (Am I close?) Well, I’m more of a traditionalist than you might think, and while it’s certainly an adventurous combination of…
