Capree Kimball - Deputy Editor & Social Media Manager
Capree has a deep love of Victorian-era “fancy lads”, 19th Century anatomy drawings, and tin robots. She grew up in a dusty suburb of Phoenix, AZ, but spent a great deal of her youth reading through her father’s art and design books as well as accompanying her mother on trips to furniture stores and model home tours. Shortly after graduating with a BFA in Photography, she discovered her true passion as a design blogger. Capree currently resides in Utah with her wonderful husband and their miniature schnauzer, Wrigley. She still likes going through model homes, if for nothing else, their plastic fruit and cookie-scented candles.

Alicia Lacy - Featured Contributor
Alicia is lover of vintage patterns, modern lines, and everything Orla Kiely has ever created. The daughter of an artist and a database operator, she learned early on the importance of balancing creativity with careful analysis (maybe this is why she finds it so hard to settle on the perfect paint color for the living room). She is an elementary school teacher who holds a BA in English. She is inspired by the DIY world, and loves to learn as she DIH (does it herself). She currently lives in St. Paul, MN with her wonderful husband, Bruno, and their young daughter, Ayla.
Matt Allison defines himself as a husband, father, urban farmer, eco-advocate, closet designer, photographer, thrifter, thing maker, mid-century modern lover, homemaker, designated household cook and blogger. Prior to donning these assorted hats he worked on both sides of the glass as a producer-engineer and musician for the better part of a decade, traveling the globe performing original music before settling down as a stay-at-home dad to two sprightly kids, switching from breadwinner to bread-maker. He makes a mean sour dough. He also holds a diploma in graphic design the Foundation School of Art in Cape Town, South Africa where he resides.
