I have very exciting news for those of you in Atlanta (or if you are visiting any time soon!!) Serena & Lily just opened their first store in the South!  And I am over the moon that they choose Atlanta, because now I can go visit anytime I want.  I have always loved their catalogs and product offering, but it is so nice to experience the products in real life too.  … Read More

Much like Christmas decor around our home, I tend to shy away from the traditional colors and shapes.  Same goes for Halloween and Fall decor… it is not really my thing.  We trick or treat with friends elsewhere, so I feel guilty decorating for Halloween and then not being home for the kids!  … Read More

It is the week of fireplace makeovers!  Unintentionally, but it works… thankfully Fall has finally showed up around here & I would love to have a fire going right now.  A few weeks ago I completed another project over at #ProjectFamJam.  This time we tackled their modern double sided fireplace.  And just in time too, because the entire home was shot for Atlanta Magazine Home!!  … Read More

Round 3!  Today I am dreaming up ideas for our future Laundry Room.  After doing laundry in a stacker shoved in an awkward closet for ten years, the idea of actually having a full size washer and dryer with some counter space to actually fold clothes on is literally mind blowing.  While we aren’t planning a huge space, something large enough for my folding boards would be ideal.  … Read More

Our library is so close to being complete and I cannot wait to share it.  The last few details are being ironed out right now and a few new coffee table books were included, you know to help fill the shelves!  Fortunately, we built our shelves and I intentionally incorporated some larger openings to accommodate my go to form of research.  … Read More

Time for another round of Renovation Wishlist!  This time I am talking about a wet bar.  This is a solution I have come up with for one of the interior spaces we already have.  Currently our washer and dryer are tucked in a closet in our dining room aka new library. But, one of the spaces included in the addition will be an actual laundry room… a luxury if you don’t currently have one!  … Read More
