The design process for me this time around is so much more fun since most of the details are already thought out. I do have a dilemma though right now. I’ve been looking at different ranges because DCS changed the look on me from our last style. The last range we had was the DCS [...]

Home Build: Framing Stage
Posted in Living, Our Home on February 23, 2012 | 5 Comments »
Home building, as anyone will tell you, requires a great deal of patience and a lot of work. I don’t have much patience when it comes to things like this but I certainly don’t mind the work part. I wish it was done already ! I met with our landscape architect yesterday to share more [...]
Architecture Wrap Up
Posted in Our Home on November 11, 2011 | 5 Comments »
We are moving on to a new phase as we start wrapping up the architecture of our new home. We had to make some changes due to the elevation and slopes of our lot and we are really happy with the new design. My goal was to keep the look and feel of our last [...]
Our Old Home vs. New Home
Posted in Living, Our Home on September 23, 2011 | 24 Comments »
I’ve had so many readers ask to see the front of our old home. I’ve been very nervous about it but decided what the heck….maybe it will provide inspiration to some, maybe it will not. We put so much work into this home so now I will enjoy it from afar until next time. As [...]
Smoked Cheddar & Apples
Posted in Food & Recipes, Our Home on June 3, 2011 | 5 Comments »
One of our favorite appetizers at home is slices of smoked Cheddar, Braeburn or Fuji Apples, and Crackerthins. It’s Heaven in your mouth!!! Tonight, I decided to share a cheese I found that I absolutely love called Chef’s Prepared King Ludwig Golden Smoked Cheese along with sliced apple and wafer crackers which we enjoyed with [...]

A very sweet reader (whose blog I was already stalking before she ever found mine) asked if she could do a feature of my home on her blog. I was extremely flattered! My home is still very much a work in progress though. If you are interested, she’ll be posting pictures of my home (including [...]
Our Bedroom

You asked so here goes…. Our bedroom is very much a reflection of everything I love: lots of natural light, light gray walls, crisp white bedding, and subtle details with an overall calm and clean look. I had help with the furnishings and fabric for the pillows from Urban Grace. I love working with them! [...]
Olivia’s Nursery

I’m almost finished with Olivia’s nursery. My designer distraction disorder creates a challenge for me because I keep moving from room to room without completely finishing the task at hand ! The inspiration for this room started before Olivia was conceived. I knew when we decided that we would have another baby that I wanted [...]
The Garage

The garages are Scott’s domain. In fact, he calls the single car garage his. I’d like to think it is ours I hired a professional organizer for him because after organizing the entire house, I didn’t want to organize his stuff. He was a sport about it and when she came, he worked with her [...]
Craft & Mudd Room Design

I’m sure this space will change a million times over the years! It’s an evolving space so I wanted to make sure the foundation was neutral. I chose a light limestone for the counters because it is very clean with little movement and goes with everything. For the spring, I’m really loving the color palette [...]
