About me

Location Washington, D.C.
Introduction I’m Emily. I have two English degrees and I used to work on Capitol Hill. Now I live in a corner of Northeast Washington, D.C. in a little row-house with my husband Mark. I teach music during my working hours. For fun, I play with words, take too many Instagrams, explore new recipes, try DIY projects, and plan parties. So what do you write about? The things I love. Building a lifestyle around joy, beauty, simplicity, and creativity. Recipes. Organization. Inspiration. DIY projects. Fashion. Design. Hospitality. Simplicity. Life in D.C. and adventures as newlyweds. Check out my blog, The Orange Slate (http://www.theorangeslate.com).
