We just celebrated the one year mark of opening Light Lab to the public, and boy does it feel great to be humming along! Our first nine months in the space were fraught with the many headaches and roadblocks of the renovation, but since then it’s been smooth sailing. We love to welcome visitors to […]
As my living and dining room slowly but surely come together, I’m watching the pieces trickle in and getting so excited to share the finished result!
