Charm, and oodles of it. This plan is a delight. It’s not always easy to find a house plan that will fit seamlessly into an established neighborhood where the hope is to have the character flow and not stand out. This house plan looks like it could have been built long ago. This porch, it’s a dream!

This striking flag was on view at the Charleston Airport (not sure if it’s still there). For those of us who were on this Earth on September 11, 2001 you will remember this day. You will remember exactly where you were standing and what you were doing when you heard the news.

Can you guess the artist? It’s Monday and I thought I would give you an easy one to jump start your week, ha ha. Note: signature edited. This artist has their own distinct style don’t they? This was fabulous to see at the Detroit Institute of Arts a while back. This painting is no longer on view, it was a private collection piece passing through.

This arrangement was absolutely beautiful. My husband sent it to me for our anniversary and weeks later (yes! WEEKS!) it was still stunning. There are flowers and there are FLOWERS. These flowers opened even more so, it was absolutely incredible to watch…

Some of the most beautiful things on this planet come from nature. The shocking beauty is overwhelming. How can there be so many different species of flowers and plants so stunning? How can there be so many different types of birds, bees, butterflies, etc.

My husband said this painting reminds him of our time at the Island Inn during dinner while eating by himself while I was outside taking photos of the most stunning sunsets you can ever imagine. The beauty of their sunsets defy logic. Who could resist? I was only gone a minute or two (I wasn’t the only one!) ok, maybe 3-4 max.

I love having a flower, usually popped into a small jar, on my kitchen window. Often it’s a flower that broke off while changing water and giving a fresh cut, but sometimes it’s there just because. The light streams in and the setting against the large live oak trees is magical. The bright yellow makes you smile each time you walk past.

Moser Design Group. Fabulous house plans. Classic design that looks gorgeous most anywhere it’s built. I live in an older neighborhood and what’s built around us matters. Infill, size, mass, scale – it makes a difference. It’s what keeps your neighborhood’s character that in this day and time is extremely hard to do. Depending upon the neighborhood, these homes look like they would blend well and fit in nicely. Good design always matters.

Every once in a while a book comes out that is so special I just have to share with you. I haven’t read a book by Kristin Hannah in the past so this was a treat. Her writing flows so well, from the first page you are drawn in and there is no hope of escape. This book is on my “To Re-read” shelf (one day). There are only a handful that makes it to that coveted spot.

Beautiful painting, right? I bet a lot of you know exactly where this is located. A place we all love and admire. A place where the light is magical, the cliffs overlooking the ocean are mesmerizing, the flowers are stunning and the people are genuine. Many of you have stood in this exact spot while eating your ice cream cone…

OH! The drama, right? Doesn’t this remind you of a Chinese Lantern, but with a bit more color? It’s so vibrant against the green, isn’t it? I took this photo while out and about in Mount Pleasant, SC – at a cool design shop filled with beautiful things… including plants, flowers, urns, and more!

This photo was taken (by Steven Reinhold of The Appalachian Adventure Company on vacation last year. Sunrise hikes are my favorite. Hop out of bed with a guzzle of coffee and be on your way.

Owie! I love when I find something that can be a game changer when cooking. This “recipe” is beyond delicious, it came together fairly quickly – we made a disaster of the kitchen, but that’s to be expected first time around – I think. You can substitute a different protein if you like, but shrimp works so nicely with this… Here are the details:

I took this photo in Waynesville, NC in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park some time ago. When a little relaxation is in order, these are the photos I gravitate to. Mountains or water, there is something so peaceful about both…
