Coffee-making is fun and exciting, but nothing beats finally sitting down to enjoy your brew, especially if you have a collection of adorable mugs to pour […]
“Never buy a piece of art that you don’t have to have. You know, don’t worry about who the artist is or how much it’s worth. I mean, you have to live with it every day. You have to walk by it every day. You have to really love it; you have to really appreciate […]
