I purchase this sad old desk from an antique store for $15 and I sanded it down and gave a fresh coat of paint. Then I put this venetian mirror I bought from another antique store in Montclair for $75. The ottoman is a purchase I made from Caitlin Wilson 8 weeks ago that finally arrived. 
Love this blanket I purchased for the Hygge themed room.
I was very proud of what I accomplished…then there’s always that nonsense labor I had to do as part of being a “team player” such as this:
Back in Florida for my annual business trip. I do love coming here but it’s always very intense and I leave feeling so beat.
This picture do not reflect how my day was. 😉 I just took this picture to send it to my family, ha! Probably only 5 sec. I got to relax at 7 a.m. before the mayhem happened.
I’m having a holiday lunch with my team in the city today. So we headed out early and made stops at Brookfield Place to check out Luminaries and Oculus Mall to check out the Winter ONEderland.
So excited to go up!
Lunch @ Public Kitchen
What a fun day!
Our team got together for a group photo and we pretend to have a Christmas story time. What Fun!
Oh and it was a ugly sweater day. 😉
One of the trends we are going to see in 2019 is Hygge trend. So we put together this pop-up area for presentations and meetings and also so we can hang out. 🙂
Candle submission that I designed with the team.

Wife, Mother, jewelry designer &
graphic designer /Creative Director, I am HaeWon Cadence Ryu. This is a glimpse into my life’s blessings, passion and inspiration.
This blog came to fruition after I began motherhood; I wanted to be able to capture every millestone of my two beautiful children - Chloe & Shane as they journey through their early years. Since the launch of my online jewelry site, cadencelee.com, I’ve come face-to-face with having to juggle multiple roles. As a result, I have decided to feature some of my designs and inspiration alongside postings of my precious family. For me, this is the perfect medium of work-life balance.
