The Duval House Plan by Allison Ramsey Architects

This plan has so much charm, right? I love the areas of gingerbread, the placement of the windows, creating an inviting porch and lighting up the inside during the day and showing off pretty lighting in the evening. What’s not to love? I LOVE that this plan isn’t enormous, it’s perfect for a smaller family or if you’re downsizing. So much easier to maintain, I think we’ll be seeing more and more people downsize in the coming years. #toomuchstuffisstressful

Minero has an excellent vibe. Continue reading “Add this restaurant to your list: MINERO – Charleston, SC and Atlanta, GA!”

Decluttering Your Holiday Decorating Stash!

Flashback!

Years ago we bought this cool tinsel tree. Then as we were walking the dog we saw that someone cleaned out their attic and placed these vintage ornaments (still in the box) by the road with the trash. We picked them up and they worked perfectly on this tree. It was like Christmas to pick up something so cool! Continue reading “Decluttering Your Holiday Decorating Stash!”
