How to Celebrate Galentine's Day

No, I’m not mispronouncing Valentine’s Day, and this is not my invention! Galentine’s Day is February 13th and it is a day that women can celebrate their friendship and sisterhood by sharing fun memories. This holiday was introduced on the popular TV show Parks and Recreation in 2010 and has been growing in popularity ever since.

I don’t know about you, but I love my girlfriends and we all are stretched thin with little time left to actually enjoy each other. Read this post to learn about Galentine’s Day celebration ideas.

It’s truly a testament to how you can customize any space within your home to work for you! My client purchased this new construction home for herself after years of renting, which allowed her to finally create the home office of her dreams. This space is immediately inside the front door of her home, which may traditionally be intended for a sitting or dining room.
