I recently realized that in the eight years we’ve been married, Jason and I have lived in six different houses. Apparently we like to move a lot. Or we’re gluttons for punishment, I’m not sure. Let’s take a little tour of the places we’ve called home, shall we? Home #1 City: Austin, TX House […]

I recently got this text from my dear friend Bethany: I am knee deep in Pinterest trying to pick tile for our bathroom remodels. Can I pay you to pick them for us? 😉 Or better yet, I’ll buy your flight out here for a consultation and get friend time, too! Oh how I wish […]

A couple of months ago when I was still in Montana, I received a sweet email from the editor of Graffiti Beach magazine. She said that she stumbled across photos of some of the rooms I’ve designed on my blog and wanted to interview me for an article she was writing about creating inspiring environments. […]

The hubs has unfortunately been cooped up in the library studying for finals, but I’ve spent the entire weekend working in the garden and entertaining the dogs with long walks. I’m ready for his exams to […]

The weather has been so nice lately and I’ve been spending every chance I get outside working in the garden, thus the lack of frequent blog posts. Over the past week I’ve transplanted some daisies and irises that were getting too big, added a few drought-tolerant perennials, and put down 16 bags of mulch in […]

Oddly, even though we sold our home in Austin a year and a half ago, I’ve recently received a ton of emails asking about the paint colors we used. (A ton of emails meaning three, at most.) Fortunately I saved all of the paint swatches in our home improvement file….because, yes, I’m crazy like that. […]

Happy National Get Organized Week, y’all! Yes, apparently it’s a real holiday that takes place each year throughout the first week of October. Despite the lack of cake or time off from work, any excuse to organize something is a celebration in my opinion. So, in the spirit of getting organized, I want to share some […]

While cleaning the house today, I thought of a few things that I want to share. Firstly, dusting is way overrated. Secondly, vacuuming is, too. Thirdly, putting away the clean laundry is my least favorite of all. However, that is not what I want to share. I’m actually here to tell you about a […]

My parents built a beautiful new home in San Antonio a few years ago and have done a fabulous job decorating it. Mom is extremely creative and every time we visit I love walking through the house admiring the new things she has done since we were last there. I get most of my good […]

Today is Earth Day, y’all. While I jumped on the “go green” bandwagon long ago, each year this holiday gives me reason to stop and consider what else I could do to be a better steward of the natural resources God has entrusted us with. Around our house we already do most of the typical […]
