Pottery Barn Printers Keyhole Desk Review

Mitch here!

Anything can be a desk if you try hard enough to make it a desk. I wrote my masters thesis on a piece of wood that was sitting on a radiator, for example.

Over the years, I’ve used my knees, my couch, my bed and a bench in the boxing room at the gym as a desk. All that changed when we bought our house and set up my office, though. I promptly bought the Pottery Barn Printer’s Keyhole Desk, which is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. And after a couple of years of heavy use, I’m reviewing it today!

I Used Olaplex Every Day for a Week & Here’s What Happened

I Used Olaplex Every Day for a Week & Here’s What Happened

It’s probably pretty evident that I don’t know much about beauty products, but I HAD to write this post because it truly changed everything for me in the hair department. I kind of can’t believe that Olaplex (available via Sephora/Nordstrom/Amazon) is real, and I’m hoping that this post will help others who are in a similar predicament. :)

10 Things, 3/29

Woo! By the time this post is published, we should be in Mississippi on the Gulf. Ideas for the week include lots of beach time, backyard swimming sessions (we’re bringing a little pool), visiting my brothers in New Orleans (we’re less than 1.5 hours away), eating at outdoor seafood restaurants, hitting up the outdoor children’s museum, and hiking the nature trail. Honestly, all we need is some vitamin D and warmth and we’ll be happy.

But here are the first 10 things that come to mind as I write this!

Our Kitchen Plans

Our Kitchen Plans

We’re having our kitchen cabinets painted this week! If you’ve been following along for a while, you likely know that the cabinets have yellowed over time. This is likely due to an oil-based paint being used many years ago, so it’s time to freshen things up and give them a white coat!

While we’re at it, we’re going to update the hardware, lighting and seating as well. A huge thank you goes out to Kira from Kira David Design—now serving Chicago, Boston and Rhode Island!—as well as my friends Bradley (who will one day have her own design company) and Shaheen (who’s in the middle of renovating her kitchen) for helping so much with this project. It was quite the rollercoaster as there were so many confusing aspects and little details to consider. But my friends are the best and have way better taste than I do… and I’m so excited about everything we settled on!

Here’s everything, including before photos:

7 Monogrammed Products I Love

As I’ve grown older, I’ve definitely toned things down and reserved personalization for a select few things, but it’s no secret that I’ve always loved a good monogram. ;) Here are my favorite products that seem to stand the test of time:
