TNH B 02A by MKDesign Group
Classy homes that fit well in established neighborhoods, blending seamlessly with homes of a bygone era, not an easy feat. It’s so important when building in an older neighborhood that the flow, the very vibe that keeps the neighborhood looking cohesive is kept. Not that all homes have to be the same, far from it.

These live oak trees are amazing – especially the one that is reaching towards the water. Historic and beautiful!

This is the Aiken Horse House (C0517) – this plan is 1,150 square feet with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms of elegant living space. You read that right, elegant living in a horse house – Wow! This house is beyond spectacular! I love how Allison Ramsey shows real life photos of a plan built, the images are stunning – be sure to CHECK THEM OUT!
The first floor of this horse house are (obviously) the stalls, storage and tack area. However, if you aren’t into horses, this plan could still be tremendous! The possibilities are endless – what a great artists studio this would make! There would be room for painting (walls could be reconfigured), there could be an office space, a storage area for supplies, ample walls to hang paintings. How nice would this be to walk downstairs and into your studio, whether it’s painting, wood working, etc. Of course, this is also a FABULOUS plan if you have horses.
The second floor features a master bedroom/bathroom with walk in closet. A second bedroom and bathroom, a kitchen with a PANTRY, breakfast area and living room. Then the pièce de résistance… the SCREENED PORCH that is the width of the house. I am in love! If you haven’t checked out the real life photos of this elegant horse house, click on that link above. Wow…
Absolute perfection.

We love to change paint colors. It’s a problem. We probably need therapy, but it makes such a difference for a pretty insignificant amount of money. We love the all white look. LOVE IT! The creams and whites. We tried it. Painted the living room, bedroom, bathroom, and it was horrible. Capital H Horrible. The bathroom is fine, but the bedroom and living room, ugh. At first I thought I LOVED it, my eye went straight to the window and grabbed the green from the trees. Beautiful. Then we hung our art, put back our rugs and oh. Hmmm. Not so much. It didn’t flow.
We have had a medium brown(Kuba by Ralph Lauren – no longer made) in a few rooms and a dark grey in the dining room. We bought a sample can of Benjamin Moore paint (I love how they do that). I painted the room I thought we would start with, the dining room. A nice, dark navy. This is the brightest time of day, it usually looks more like the left hand side versus the right hand side.
I thought the brown worked so nicely with all of our paintings, but whoa, I didn’t realize how there is blue in all the paintings. Sweet! We have since decided not to start with the dining room, so the above has since been painted back to Benjamin Moore’s Kendall Charcoal. The color above is Old Navy – we may keep it or try it a bit darker (custom color, they’re so good at) – although, living with this blue, I think we want it to read blue and not black, so we may go with Old Navy… It’s good to live with it for a while – I will keep you updated!

A fresh post for Saturday!
This chair looks rather angelic in the sunshine, ha ha… Here is a look at what’s to come… Benjamin Moore in a Navy color (we think we know which one, but haven’t decided absolutely). It’s currently a Benjamin Moore match to an old Ralph Lauren color KUBA (in the Safari collection). We’ve loved this color, but now… need it to be gone! I’m dying for some navy walls… How sharp will that be?? Bits of navy in the rug, all the paintings have blue (nine paintings in this small room) – I can’t wait! I love the white against the navy. Is it ever sharp! Right now the hot color is SHADOW by Benjamin Moore, but it’s a little too purple for my taste, although I’ve seen it used on doors, etc. and it’s so striking!
Will send an image of the final result once we get to that point!
For those of you who subscribe to this blog, you may think that today’s post looked familiar. It did to me too… well, that’s because I posted it six short days ago. Six. Sigh… I think I was rearranging posts and this image was used twice. Nice… ugh! Please forgive.

This is the Muskoka house plan by Karoleena – this plan is 1,590 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. This plan has so many great features! If you like a modern plan (and I do!), there is so much to like about this plan. There are a lot of wonderful windows which is perfect if you’re situated in a private location, lake, ocean, woods, etc. I think it’s a sharp plan!
Module 1 has two bedrooms with a bathroom in between, as well as the foyer, laundry and storage and a mechanical room. I like how you step into the bedroom/bathroom. there is a small corridor that leads you to the bathroom or either bedroom, which also makes room for some nice closets!
Module 2 is the main living area, the living room, kitchen, master bedroom/bathroom – can you imagine living in this house? The views? The sleek style, not to mention that this house can be built in six months!
Karoleena does something wonderful (besides building very cool homes)! They provide you with so much information, every detail you can think of! So when you click to view this plan, scroll down to where it says “DOWNLOAD THE MUSKOKA MODEL GUIDE” – you will not believe the wonderful details. It helps make your dream one step closer to becoming a reality

You may have to click to see this image larger. This photo was taken from the road that leads you to Bowens Island Restaurant in Charleston, SC (near Folly Beach). Views?! Oh, yeah! Sunset at Bowens Island is always a treat. They are known for their seafood, but the view, whoa! Don’t miss it if you are in the Charleston area!

PS… if this looks familiar it mistakenly posted in November along with another post about the need to catch up and focus, ha ha… ugh! You aren’t imaging things, if this seems familiar, you’re right, it is!
Solved! That’s right! This photo was taken at Karen Hagen Fine Art – click the link to see more of the gallery and see the artists represented!
To take a quick break from “Guess the artist” – A cool photo. I couldn’t pass it by, it caught my attention and I stood in this gallery and snapped photos, ha ha… are you familiar with Charleston, SC and the many galleries that we have here? Do YOU know which gallery this chandelier is in?
I love a challenge… Ha ha…

This is the 37 Rose Hill Court house plan by Our Town Plans, and IS IT EVER CHARMING!!! Be sure to click on the link to see the real life images (inside and out!) – I’m telling you I could move right in and be so happy! The interior images help so much! The exterior of this home is so attractive. It fits right in and looks like it could have been built decades ago. I love the porch, which I would definitely screen!
This compact plan is 775 square feet with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. It’s brilliant to use pocket doors for the bedroom, which is right off the sitting room. The kitchen and sitting room are open which is so nice. There is great storage and a nice size bathroom! What’s not to love about this plan?

Several months ago I posted a poll asking what size house plan you were interested in. I wasn’t just curious, I want to target the size that most people find appealing – with other sizes thrown in since not everyone likes the same thing (thank goodness, right?)! Thank you to those who participated!
Luckily, the answer was between 1,000-2,000 square feet, which is the range I usually am near. This is great feedback!
Here are the results:
I will be running this poll again in 2017! Catch you back here tomorrow!
This photo is from a past Christmas in Michigan. Fred’s parents drove to MI – It was so beautiful, the snow was falling and so perfect for them to see!
The older you get the more Christmas is about memories much more than what may be under the tree when you wake up on Christmas Day. Most of us have everything we need, and the things that we want cannot be purchased.
Share a smile with someone (and some cookies too!) – it will help make the world a better place!
MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄

It always helps to put things into perspective – as I see people rush around and stressed, I think this post may help a little… I hope…
Come sit your weary bones down, sit a spell… relax and calm your thoughts. There is so much going on this time of year, sometimes we need to get in check with things and slow down and realize that if everything doesn’t get done, it’s OK. Always remember that living a good life isn’t about what you have but how you treat others. So lend an ear, listen to a friend, don’t be too quick to judge.
Everyone is going through something (click here to see a great video!) – so if you encounter someone who seems out of sorts, sad, mad, or just not friendly, don’t just assume the worst – pass along a smile or a kind word (or both!!). Help make someone’s day – it’s a tough world and we need to help each other get through it.
Go out and be the GOOD that you want to see in the world! 🙏
I know everyone is busy this week, so much to do! Posting a week of photos, back to normal posting next week – Catch you back here tomorrow!
Visiting the grounds of Mebkin Abbey is like stepping back in time. The beauty is beyond belief. Check out their website… so much information! If you ever get a chance to visit, please do! You won’t believe what you see. Great gift shop too!

My calendar says WINTER BEGINS… It depends on where you live from what I’ve read, some places it’s today and others it may be tomorrow, in any case the Winter Solstice is the shortest day of the year, the day when the sun is up for the shortest amount of time. After this, days will begin to get longer – hard to believe, ha ha… it’s a slow progression no doubt, one that I am thankful for!
This is my desktop image for the month of December, I just love it! This is a tree that my dad has made from the table and umbrella that sits near the river – how clever is that? Just look at that sky! LOVE IT! This image brings good memories of a happy holiday season!

This photo was taken on Sullivans Island when we were at the beach while my parents were in town visiting. What a great time we had! Stopped at Kudzu Bakery in Mt. Pleasant for a sandwich, then headed to the beach.
Happy Birthday Dad (AKA Joe)!! Wishing you the happiest of birthdays, and many, many, many more! xo me ❤️
I wonder where I get my love of photography from? Snap, snap, snap… thank goodness we don’t have to buy film any longer, ha ha…
