Whew!  Happy New Year! lol.  Am I the only one struggling to roll into a rhythm in 2018!?  It doesn’t help that C’s school hasn’t had a full week back this year either.  We have yet another Snow Day today, but I do have to admit that it is nice having legit snow (okay, legit for the South!) for the second time in a month or so.  … Read More

The white tree is back up for year three, and I am still absolutely in love with it.  I mean if you are going to have a fake tree, why not have some fun with it?!  While the actual tree is the same, some non Christmas decor has changed.  Remember when I found this Burled Wood Coffee Table at Goodwill?!

A few weeks ago, I shared that I had found an amazing burl wood table at a local thrift store for next to nothing.  A piece like this has been on my design wishlist for years now, so as soon as I saw it I grabbed it!!  I knew it would be perfect for our living room scale wise and was excited for the opportunity to have a slightly smaller coffee table.… Read More

Chloe’s new room and loft bed are complete and we are all in love.  As I mentioned before, we transitioned her into my stepson’s old room as he has left for college.  My daughter, who is seven now, choose the initial design for her room from one of my design books and was adamant that her bed be identical to the inspiration.  … Read More

The Library is quickly coming together, and a few of you guessed right!! I choose table number four.  I loved the idea of the modern shape mixed with the traditional moulding and builtins that are already in the space.  … Read More
