I last left you with a large hole in my ceiling being covered by poster board. It may have taken a while (3 attempts, but who’s counting) but I am happy to report that I am writing this post sans poster board. After A LOT of discussion of how we wanted to close our new… Continue reading Closure
Confession- fixing up your house whilst also running a business and managing a personal life is a lot. It doesn’t leave much down time for fun side hobbies, say blogging, and when time does free up binging Netflix on the sofa becomes incredibly appealing. That being said, I just returned from a much needed vacation… Continue reading We Paint!
I didn’t mean to disappear on you for that long. A mix of allergies, sinus infections, and bronchitis has decided to attack me this spring.

For me, thrifting started out of a need to furnish my apartment on the cheap, but has grown into a bit of a passion. Obviously saving money is a HUGE benefit, but I like that… Continue reading A Refashion Inspiration
This story is one that is strange to tell. It started hopeful and ended with failure… sorry to blow the ending. Several years ago, 2009 to be exact, I began a business. The business idea was simple, make beautiful clothes and sell them. How could it go wrong?! Not being ready is the easiest answer I… Continue reading A Tale of Design
My feelings at this moment are readiness. I wrote about not believing in clean slates for the start of each year at the beginning of 2015. I guess the beauty of posting your words on the internet for all to see is to be able to completely contradict yourself later. I am ready for 2016.… Continue reading Ready
I seriously considered starting this blog post with quoting Adele’s song “Hello.” It would have been fitting. It has been a little while since we last caught up, but I am back now. I hope that is good news to you. If not, I am at least happy to be back. One thing you may notice… Continue reading Hello
What the hell is the Cinderella Project? So glad you asked 🙂 The Cinderella Project was started 7 years ago under the guidance of Lacey Shelton (my sister and then Assistant Director of AmeriCorps) and her co-worker Cheryl Bryant (Administrative Assistant).
