Welcome

Hello! Slace here. I'm a wife, new mother, beginner DIY'er and part-time graphic designer. Here I will write about design and things that catch my fancy. I'll also chronicle my adventures into DIY-ing as I turn my formerly modern style into industrial farmhouse chic.

Leighton's lovely room

Leighton’s lovely room

Leighton’s bedroom wasn’t completely finished (and by “completely” I mean 98%) until she was five months old. She’s seven months now so I figured I should probably post some pictures. Disclaimer: These are terrible pictures. My camera is decent but the lighting in our house is not. So bear with me. I am in love with...

Before The Cream Monstrosities First things first. I had to paint those dressers. I’ve had them for about a year and...

Inauguration

Welcome to The Slace Station! This blog/site was actually built a few years ago. It was originally intended as my graphic/web design portfolio website and blog. I spent countless hours perfecting the design but never actually added content or began to use it. I’ve kept the hosting because it took me even longer to come...
