Style Scouting: Vol. 224
Thanks for stopping by for this week’s Style Scouting. My Sunday post where I share the random stuff that captured my attention or inspired me that I found online.

I have had a very productive week. Ed and I spent most of the week getting the ceiling in the studioffice redone. We did this ourselves since it wasn’t hurricane damaged and covered by insurance like the kitchen ceiling was.
Now I have to do a deep clean, clean-up to remove the mess that was made doing so, but the ceiling looks great.
It has also been a very cold week here in the southeast, we are still dealing with the first floor heat pump problem and even got a dusting of snow that looked pretty on the deck before it was soon gone and turned into soft ice. Now the sun has returned and the temps are moving back up. :-)

As much as I have had to deal with from the aftermath of a hurricane damaging my home this past fall, it is teeny-tiny miniscule to the unimaginable loss of your entire home, all your belongings and the vibrant community you live in getting destroyed in a matter of hours. It is heartbreaking. Here are ways to help those who have lost everything this past week in the LA area. (open in same tab)
