153161 Garage Guest Suite by Allison Ramsey Architects
I love this simple yet classic garage with a covered area for parking or a patio. It’s a classic style with clean lines – it’s not fussy in appearance and adds just the right design element. A garage AND a small guest house. Perfect!

I feel so blessed to have so many wonderful memories. Growing up in Michigan we had the best time. Memories of sailing and most of all hanging out with friends who are still friends to this day (thank you social media)!
Continue reading “Sailing Lake St. Clair – Michigan Memories”(RE) Featured Artist: Patti Vincent!
Patti Vincent. When I saw this painting my jaw dropped. I really love all of Patti’s work, but these plein air paintings just grab me. What I love so much about this one is the color palette. It’s softer and fabulous and gives such a beautiful overall feel.

Well, Fall is upon is and I couldn’t be happier! The crispness in the air is appreciated with every breath. I can remember being thrilled it was Fall even when I was a little kid growing up in Michigan.

Okra. I don’t think I even heard of it until I moved to Charleston 30+ years ago. I tried it once. Slimy. Hmmm. Not awful tasting, but the consistency isn’t what I would prefer. I found that if you roast it you #skiptheslime Woohoo!

Brian Miller. A daily painter – serious dedication! So many paintings, all color palettes and subjects. This one spoke to me, I love it! It’s cool and funky and different!

I love it when you run into an unexpected photo. Something different that catches your eye at the last second and something tells you to snap a quick photo… Something about this makes me so happy! #perhapsiwasinlockdowntoolong #winkwink

Glorious! The arrival of fall like weather is nothing short of glorious to me. I am so excited for hot and humid weather to be on its way out! I am looking so forward to fresh air, cool breezes, open windows, flannel and polar fleece.
There, I said it. Ha… I am in my happy place when I can be *me* – born and raised in Michigan, here are a few of my fall memories…
Continue reading “Fall is my “happy place”!”Featured Artist: Jim McVicker!
Jim McVicker is a plein air artist living in California. He has a way of adding life to his paintings (perhaps because he paints from life vs. a photo?) whether outdoors or in the studio.

I love creating treats for Charlie, our Jack Russel with a history of pancreatitis. For years he’s only gotten his ultra low fat prescription dog food, and occasional piece of pasta or tablespoon of rice, a little no fat Greek yogurt and veggies of all kinds.

A beautiful house plan both inside and out! This is exquisite with the front and back porches (WOW). So many wonderful spaces to be happy in! I have been a fan of the Lake + Land designs forever, if you aren’t familiar, you are about to become a fan as well…

This wrap is a winner! It will fill you up and keep you full. It’s quick and easy to make and once you make a batch you can eat it for days and freeze the remainder to pull out for a quick breakfast! Essentially, this is almost too good to be true!
