It is almost a year since we moved, and I’m happy to say we are just about finished with the interior of the house. The last several months have been filled with endless shopping and diy projects, and I’m not gonna lie…I’m a little sad that it’s almost over. Those of you who are like minded know where I’m coming from, right? (And the rest
Master Bedroom Mood Boards and House Update
I’m back with part deux of my mood boards, and this time it’s all about the boudoir. In my last post I showed you some ideas I’ve been crushing on for the living room, and today I’m sharing some objects of my affection for the master bedroom. You probably know I’ve got pretty eclectic taste, but I’m concentrating on shades of blue and some French
One living room – three ways
Long before we picked out our new house, I knew I wanted to incorporate blues in the color scheme. It’s always been my favorite color and yet it was completely absent in the log cabin. What I wasn’t sure of was the exact style I wanted to bring to the new place. Like with so many things, it is so much easier to pinpoint what I
Questions answered, questions asked
In case you’re wondering, nope, I didn’t get the title of this post backwards. I’ve received a few questions lately and I also have a few of my own, but first I want to show you a couple of furniture pieces we’ve acquired lately, and a couple we are considering. We’ve decided we don’t want to purchase all our furniture until after we’ve been in
Life so far…(and decorating inspiration)
Greetings from the land of sunshine, hospitality and pork chop breakfasts. Aside from enjoying the lovely weather (near 70 still), and meeting new people (southern hospitality is NOT a myth), I’ve been stalking the endless furniture stores giving the design direction of our new place a lot of thought, and I’ve concluded I need about 18 more houses to satisfy my decorating itch. It’s sort
Southern Living Idea House on Bald Head Island
After the disastrous move we had a few weeks ago, I can finally AND happily say life has calmed down to a low roar and we’re getting our sea legs here in the Tar State. There’s so much to see and do, we’re like kids in a candy shop. Sunday we went to the Southern Living Idea House located on beautiful Bald Head Island, an
Log Cabin Tour
It’s been a while since I’ve shown you our cabin in detail. About five years actually. I thought about it often, but never took the time to take the photos. Now that the cabin is for sale, this will surely be the last tour, and what better time since I can take advantage of the professional photos that were recently taken? Let me share with
What’s Holding You Back From Decorating?
If you’re one of the rare people out there who truly doesn’t care about having a home that reflects your personal style, is fairly organized and kept reasonably clean and clutter free, then this post is not for you. I’m guessing that doesn’t describe you, or you probably wouldn’t have clicked on the post title, so I thought I’d share with you some ideas to
Ave Maria-A Florida Community
Isn’t this impressive? It’s even more so in person. Ave Maria, pronounced just like you think, NOT ‘Avenue’ as the GPS seems to think, is a community of approximately 25,,000 about 45 minutes east of Naples. It is in the middle of nowhere, but in spite of that, is growing. The heart of the town is the University, which accounts for the nice mix of
Updating a Dated Kitchen
If you’ve ever renovated a kitchen, you know it’s a huge undertaking. In our former home all we did was replace appliances and countertops and even that was a big deal! There’s so many decisions to be made, and they need to be made with a great deal of forethought because for most of us, a kitchen redo is something we will do once and be done
