This post has been a long time coming. So many of you have asked me if I love the marble, after living with it for awhile. It’s complicated, okay. Real things always are. And let me say that EVERYBODY warned me against marble. I didn’t think the counter top guy was gonna sell it to [...]

Darlene informed me this weekend that there was digital version of my BHG’s story that can be downloaded onto mobile devices. I was so happy because a) there was a photo of all the kids that was not shown in the magazine and b) several of you asked me if I had extra copies, which [...]

Because this well could be the most asked question in recent times, I thought it was high time I put all the paint colors in one post. Here’s the only glitch. I can’t remember the paint color of the girls’ vanity and I keep forgetting to call and ask my cabinet maker. I’ll do it, [...]

Did I mention I love summer? I’m working on a post to tell you all about what we’re doing this summer but in case I never finish it, you should know that I love summer with all my southern soul. In fact, this house is really at its peak in summer. It’s a summer house [...]

And I knew that since the girls and I would be spending alot of time in here, I wanted it to be functional and organized but without sacrificing beauty. I wanted to be inspired by [...]

This poor sofa sat in my dusty basement for ten years at the other house. I always wanted to reupholster it. But you know, kids and life and laundry and such. Then when we moved, it allllMOST went to Goodwill. But instead, I persevered and took it to Wayne at Daniel’s ReUpholstery. He’s meticulous and [...]

~~~a few sources have been added to the bottom of this post~~~ It’s almost ridiculous how long it’s taken me to get this kitchen post done. But in my defense, my light fixtures were just installed this week. They apparently sat in the Atlantic Ocean for 2 months waiting to get through customs. And sadly, [...]

I’ve had this piece of furniture since the beginning of time and why on earth I haven’t painted it before now, I do not know. You probably have this piece of furniture too, don’t you? Or at least a side table or armoire like it? Well, something told me it was time. Time to give [...]

Our basement at the lakehouse has been officially declared ‘the Mancave’. It has housed many {sweaty} boys this summer and has been sorely neglected—as in, I try my best NOT to ever go down there. And then there’s the dilemma of where to put all my art and photographs. This house has no [...]

and I like cowboy boots, C.S. Lewis, good food, strong coffee, banjo music and books. I am a deeply flawed momma of 4 and grateful receiver of more good gifts than one heart can hold. I fight for joy and find it in the most unexpected places. I make quirky look normal, relish in my small town Southern way of living, and am learning that it's all grace--every last bit of it.
