We’ve been buried in drywall and deadlines—oops!—but quick, before another week slips away from us, a big thank you to Wayfair’s Boston team for hosting a lovely event with Dwell Studio’s Christiane Lemieux last night! Jack and I have (clearly) had home improvements on the brain as of late, and connecting with local creatives is […]

Jack and I are not particularly pro-Valentine’s Day, but we are very much in favor of love notes and lovely letters; as a result, this particular mid-winter week can raise conflicting opinions for us. This year, though, we’ve gathered our Valentine’s energies for good. In the midst of my lettering practice, we discovered a stash […]
We’re currently hard at work getting the second issue of Don’t Take Pictures ready to print—and she’s a beauty!—but today on the DTP blog, Kat Kiernan is sharing an interview with UJC discussing our process and the perks and pitfalls of designing for artists. As designers focusing on custom solutions and working from scratch, there are […]
There’s something about this week; between the nor’easters and the polar vortexes and the Monday holidays, I’ve had a really tough time keeping track of the days. Today, for example, is apparently National Handwriting Day. (Thank you—again—for the heads up, Kelly!) No matter! We’re overdue on sharing our New Years invites and holiday cards regardless […]
Chances are, if you’ve ever been to our house, Jack has made you a drink. He’s my resident mixologist, my go-to margarita-maker, my provider of holiday punch, and he can whip up a liquor-less libation that doesn’t seem lacking, too. We love a good cocktail, and Jack loves making them. For Christmas this year, Jack […]
Happy New Year! We’ve been working on some site updates, recovering from snow and celebration (haven’t we all), and have been more than willing to say “good riddance” to 2013. Nonetheless, a recap is in order: with one last glance over our shoulder, here’s a peek back to our most popular posts of the past year. […]
When I packed up from my small hometown in rural PA and headed to Boston for college, my grandmother quipped (with only the best intentions very early in her dementia) that it was the beginning of the end of me. Leaving the town that houses the majority of my family, then and every visit since, is […]
We’re still working through some red tape with the house (and I still haven’t had a spare moment to get photos off the camera), but even as we move slowly forward, a common theme has emerged throughout the process. Having nearly lost our minds navigating the pitfalls and bureaucracy of buying a multi-family home in […]
We’re alive! After a whole week out of work and in the house doing work, we still have spotty internet, unfinished paint, piles of boxes and a peeling bathroom ceiling – but the house deal that has been stressing us out since July, what with the transient living and the ups and the downs, has […]
Earlier this summer, just before our offer was accepted for the hopeful house-to-be, we agreed to take on the design and layout of the innaugural issue of Don’t Take Pictures, a publication from The Kiernan Gallery. Amidst the housing drama, we packed and unpacked our computers, downsized our office to fit in our temporary bedroom, […]
