The curse of the creative. I think a lot. A lot. My poor brain. I work so hard to turn it off. There are multiple obsessions... I ponder my business and how to support my oil team, I ponder my patisserie and what kind of equipment I'll need... what kind of menu I will...
Parisienne Farmhouse Design
French Farmhouse Elements
So here it is. My living room. In all, it's so-called glory. I've been sitting on the post for three weeks because... confession... I'm a perfectionist. There. I said it. As if you didn't know. Maybe I didn't really know. Maybe my desire to do this stupid post...
