This is the 2300 House Plan by GOLogic. This plan is 2,289 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. GOLogic builds beautiful prefab homes that are energy efficient, high quality all the way. This plan has an optional garage that I think is essential, especially with the way it’s connected to the house via the covered walkway is quite nice. This home is so sharp – be sure to check out the link above to see images of the interior of the house, the images are beautiful and will have you dreaming of a GOLogic home!

Lucy Williams. Interior designer and artist. I love her design, it’s refreshing, clean and uncluttered. Her paintings make her spaces pop. I absolutely adore the movement and Lucy’s color palette. Her paintings are interesting and they add a nice HELLO! to their surroundings.
Happy May Day! I love the tradition of flowers left on people’s door on this day. What a wonderful tradition. I don’t expect to see any flowers on my door, but it did happen one year. Some children that lived down the street made beautiful arrangements that they tied to neighbor’s doors. That was such a surprise, I’ll never forget it!
My husband, Fred, was the May Day King in elementary school. How I wish I would have been there to see that!
Moving on to a product I recommend, it works so well for us, I just wish we would have know about it sooner! For those of you with swimming pools, you know how important the leaf rake is – this isn’t just a leaf rake…
Meet the ProTuff Pool Leaf Rake. This leaf rake cleans like no other. If you have a pool you know how straining it can be using some of the pool rakes – because you’re filling the net and dragging against the water. ProTuff Pool Leaf Rakes are so much easier to use, they’re light and they do the job right the first time. This leaf rake gets our pool just as clean as vacuuming. It’s heavy duty – and we have a lot of leaves, squiggles and various other plant particles falling into the pool at different times of the year.

Dennis Doyle. I love how loose his paintings are – clearly done in the moment and they capture the feeling of what he’s painting so beautifully. Love the clouds and the overall feel in this one: the dark tree line, the dramatic clouds coupled with the brilliant sky and the light in the mid horizon. So many wonderful paintings and such a cool story. Dennis is not afraid of hard work, that’s for sure! Continue reading “Featured Artist: Dennis Doyle!”→
I like to say I’m a lot like MacGyver (remember that TV show?) – I can find a way to make things work using objects I have sitting around. This photo is from years ago, flowers growing like crazy in our sunroom. All of a sudden I needed a prop to keep my Amaryllis up straight. I looked around for various things to use, then I came upon some well-used paintbrushes. PERFECT! It worked like a charm.
Kimberly Goldstein. I love her work. It’s happy and fresh. It’s got oomph! Most paintings are mixed media which tends to perk up an abstract and give it added dimensions. I think “Madrid” is a sharp painting – modern, in a modern (square) format. Fabulous!
Island Boat Stands by Susan Bartlett Rice 30″x30″ Oil
Susan Bartlett Rice. What a wonderful surprise – this is an artist submission that I received – I love the happiness in Susan’s paintings. The bright colors and cool New England settings. Just lovely! I’m also a fan of the square format when possible – it seems a bit modern which I really like. Check out her various paintings, I think they will put a smile on your face!

It was cold here in Charleston, SC this past winter, well… for us anyway! There were several occasions that called for a pot of hot, comforting soup. I ran across this recipe on a blog called The Girl Who Ate Everything – and thought it sounded good, so I gave it a whirl (original recipe via Taste of Home!) – It’s a winner! Click HERE to print my version as shown above… (Thanks Mom for the reminder to actually add the link!) 😍Continue reading “Cauliflower Soup, Cheese Toast and a Chilewich Placemat”→
Anne Ireland. Such an amazing artist. Her work is so different and outstanding – Anne clearly has a passion from deep within to create these wonderful paintings.
I love how she can take a scene and simplify it in the most magnificent way. With added colors that are just gorgeous, she makes her paintings come to life! The water in this painting above – Wow! Oh, how I love those trees! It’s all the little WOW’s that make this painting, and truly, all of her paintings – so fabulous! I am a fan!
I saw this the other day and had to grab my phone and take a photo. Sadly the dog had turned it’s head and I missed the shot that was head on. This dog, sitting in the driver’s seat waiting for his person to come back to the car. He looked like he was the driver. It cracked me up. Delight in the little things!

Some people have a knack for making things special. Very special. Fred and I visited the coolest B&B several years ago in Wiscasset, Maine – The Marston House. While the owners have moved to a different location – it looks like they’ve made things very special in Vinalhaven (as well as several French rentals that are to die for!)

Maelstrom with Harpies by Petrea Noyes – Mixed Media 40 x 40″
Petrea Noyes. Her paintings are bold and full of life. They are also unique in that many of them are drawn using a digital tablet, then printed on a massive printer onto special canvas with special pigment-based ink (which will last longer than many of us) and while it’s still wet she uses other techniques to make it the end result (acrylics, paint bars, etc.). Read about her process! She’s a very cool woman judging by our emails back and forth. Continue reading “Artist Submission: Petrea Noyes!”→
