evolution of my house | part 2 | the dining room
This is part two in a series that’s a more in-depth follow-up of my 2015 summer home tour. Showing the entire house in one post made me realize what a change this home has undergone and I thought it would be encouraging to others if I share the slow process from “before” to “after”. If […]
design ramblings | does your house match your wardrobe?
I’ve heard it said that, if ever you’re stuck in your decorating choices, you can look to your wardrobe to get a sense of your style. Do you agree with that? Kriste and I chat about that subject in this week’s Design Ramblings… Help me out a little here. Did anyone else dress like the movie […]

Summer 2015 Home Tour
Welcome to my Pennsylvania home tour! We worked hard on our home for almost eleven years and it was a true labor of love and DIY marathon.

Bunny Williams, the Southern Living Idea House, & Me
I learned a long time ago that checking my e-mail can be exciting at times.
