2019 Home Organization Challenge Week 5: Living Room
This week, we’re clearing the clutter and organizing the living room. If your living room is well lived in, you probably have a lot to do this week.
Our Southern Porch
Our porch is 90 feet all around and we absolutely love it. With a porch this large, we wanted to include statement pieces that would compliment the size of the space. We also wanted it to blend with the charming southern surroundings, so we installed 24″ gas lanterns, operable Read More
Vintage Door Hardware
Our very first home was a charming 1923 colonial with tons of character. It had mahogany woodwork throughout, custom built-ins, leaded glass windows, and crystal knobs on all of the doors. We sold that house 15 years ago and I still dream about it today. I’ve missed the character and Read More

Homebuilding Week 3: The Pad & My Dream Book
We just finished up week 3 of our homebuilding journey. This week, they completed the building pad and the compaction test. The build is moving along smoothly (so far). I know there will be wrinkles down the road, but we are thankful for every good day and are enjoying the Read More
Decorating with Silhouettes
One of my favorite things to collect are silhouettes. Whether they come from a local antique shop or are uniquely created for our family, they always bring a smile to my face. I often find myself perusing antique shops & flea markets, in search of them. And anytime we can find an artist Read More
Farmhouse Bedroom
I’ve done some fun updates to our master bedroom and I know several of you have requested to see it. Last month, I shared a post about our new mattress here. Adding to that post, I’ve also incorporated a few farmhouse style pillows and a beautiful classic ticking chaise lounge to the space. Read More
