Surprise!? I say it like this because it felt like a little bit of a surprise even to myself. So, yeah, I’m signed up for the One Room Challenge! For those of you who are unaware of what the One Room Challenge, it is a six-week endeavor taken on by pro and amateur designers and [...]
And... I LOVE IT. I have thought about doing this for literally years. YEARS. I don't know why it took me so long to bite the bullet -- probably because we bought these appliances brand new in 2016 and it's hard to taint brand new thing with a DIY. You know what I mean? But, [...]

I was at a party at my friend Sarah's, and my other friend Lucy and I were walking around Sarah's newly-renovated house. It's like exploring a [...]
Hello, friends! You're all so great. Did you know that? I'm lucky that I get to inhabit this planet with you. Speaking of our wonderful planet, this week is Climate Week in NYC and there were planned Climate Strikes worldwide over the weekend and throughout this week. The world is in dire need of our [...]
If y'all follow me on Instagram (@abbeymadethis), you'll already have seen my new office mural. I'm very into neutrals and minimalism these days. Just kidding.
