Welcome to the new Two Purple Couches!

I do hope you’ll pick a comfy spot and stay awhile!

I am very excited about this new site. Hopefully you’ll find it easier to navigate and more enjoyable to read. I’ve got a few ideas up my sleeve, so this may be a bit of a “work-in-progress” for a while.

This is also the beginning of some great projects to come around our house. The wheels are really starting to turn on some of our larger projects like crown moulding, painting, etc. I’m excited to kick things off tomorrow with a tour of our newly-painted kitchen! Please drop in and check it out!

Coming Soon: A New Two Purple Couches!

Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday weekend so far.

We’re working on getting the new Two Purple Couches site launched! Huzzah! If all goes as planned, the new site should be up and running sometime tomorrow!

I’ll post again once we’ve got everything squared away. Thanks for sticking through the big move 🙂

Clark from Emily A. Clark, Kristin Jackson from The Hunted Interior, and Sarah Macklem from The Yellow Cape Cod. So I thought I’d share some of the useful tips I picked up, along with my most exciting Haven moment.

Lessons Learned: My Haven 2013 Experience

Amazing. 

This is how I’ve been describing my Haven experience to anyone who asks (and anyone who doesn’t).

And it truly was. Michele describes it as like being the new kid on the first day of school. Lauren describes it as a secret club meeting.

I would describe it like this: Even if you have never met a soul there, attending Haven feels like a class reunion with 350+ BFFs.

I’m Baaaaaack!

Haven Conference

Haven was amazing. Incredible. Mind-blowing. Hug-inducing. Soulmate-finding. Constantly inspiring. Life-changing.

i.e. there are several more recaps to come. But right now, my brain is overloaded and I’m a bit sleep-deprived. I’m going to make a valiant effort at organizing my thoughts into coherent posts throughout this week. So, stay tuned 🙂

In the meantime, you can search the hashtag #havenmavens on Instagram and Twitter to see what us Mavens were up to all weekend!
