2023 was many wild things, but it was also the year I started updating my condo a little further past its 1979 aesthetic. Today was the last major piece for this year — the kitchen counters.

It’s better, right? Feels like home. And I’m obsessed with the island being one level — I have so much more room on that surface than I did before. Merlin has already staked his claim, of course.
With Love,
