this past summer was the first time in three years that we were not managing a construction project, so things have been pretty quiet around the school for the past few months. when i finally got around to making it, each buttery spoonful on my plate carried the weight of mixed emotions. some people prefer the path of least resistance. many, most, or perhaps even all(?) and i also wanted to take it slow with this trip. a set would have the same product finish and color and help to produce consistency and visual connection in the entire bedroom.
