After moving full-time in my business almost a year ago, I finally created my dream work schedule—today I spent my lunch break taking a stroll to the botanical building!

Mondays and Wednesdays are botanical building lunches and order packing, Tuesdays and Thursdays are painting days and Fridays I gave myself off. 🌿✨

Paper Anchor Co. officially has a studio!!✨

From starting out on the dining room of our small apartment to buying our first home and working out of our third bedroom and garage—we now have a space to call our own.

We’ll be getting five times our current space, lots of natural light and the best part of it all is that we’ll be half a mile from Balboa Park and the botanical building! 😭🌿💚

So excited to have the perfect space to grow in.

My new found hobby—creating a masterful mess on canvas ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After not having any artwork on the walls for 6 months, and I decided to take a stab at painting a few neutral pieces. We made one for our bedroom and the other to cover our ugly living room wall AC unit and I have to say, it’s been fun painting just to paint.
