Whew, I haven’t been able to get much done but ship Valentine’s Day orders out this week. Thank you to everyone who has been showing Wit & Whistle the love! It felt good to pick up my camera for a few minutes today and snap some photos around the house. I’m constantly rearranging bits and [...]
While tidying up my hard drive I found a folder containing the photos from our home’s real estate listing back in 2008 when we purchased it. It’s so weird to see someone else’s stuff in our home! I got a kick out of comparing the previous owners’ old photos to more recent ones that I [...]
We’ve been sneak peeked! The folks at Design*Sponge contacted me a few months ago about featuring our home in one of their Sneak Peek posts, so naturally I freaked out (in a good way). I posted some of my photos that they didn’t end up using below, but head over to Design*Sponge to check out [...]

I’m off to get a gallon of paint for my husband’s home office. He’s perfectly content with stark white walls and piles of clutter on the floor, but I’m not! We already have everything below around the house except this sexy mama rug—the perfect finishing touch!
