How sharp is this? Clocking in at under 1,000 square feet – this plan is fabulous. If you aren’t in need of large square footage this plan maximizes space brilliantly. It’s such a good looking plan whether done in shingles (as shown on their website, wow!) or in wood siding. Absolutely gorgeous, the inside is just as spectacular!

Charleston, South Carolina is alive in a frenzy of vibrant colors right now. The azaleas are beginning to bloom prolifically adding to the color from the camellias, tulip trees where the blossoms have just recently made a transition into bright green leaves and a host of other blooming things. Early spring is my favorite part, temps can still be cool (but can also be warm). Like most of the country, some days we experience both.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Right? A glimpse back into the older days. It looks like they’re having a grand time. Can you guess the artist? No matter who these people are it looks like they’re having a nice time, doesn’t it? More details about this painting below, read on!

Spring is definitely in the air here in Charleston, South Carolina. Our winters are lovely and aren’t freezing cold for the most part. Some days are spring like, (as I write this for example), then it’ll turn chilly for a few days. Spring in our area is like fall elsewhere. Our leaves drop like crazy! On the plus side, the cardinals are back! Along with a few other (unidentified) birds that are gorgeous!

Wouldn’t this be a wonderful plan to build in the mountains of North Carolina? In an idyllic nature setting overlooking mountains and woods – I think this would be stunning. I would have it blend into the landscape so as to not take away from the natural beauty of the setting. This plan is larger than it looks, so there is a lot of room for living!

I saw this on Instagram (@PBS) yesterday and it piqued my interest. The short answer to WHY do we have leap year is because the seasons wouldn’t match up with the calendar over time. So to keep the season accurate…

After spending a considerable amount of time and money on a recipe that wasn’t great – actually neither of us even liked it despite loving all the ingredients.. we opted for something healthy, tasty but without a lot of ingredients (or work!) This is an old favorite. We have always eaten it as a meatless meal (we like to have several every week), but there wasn’t a lot of pasta so we opted for a…

Isn’t this a beautiful painting? Do you recognize it? Do you know who the artist is? Breathtaking! Take a moment (or a while) and guess who, feel free to comment in the comment section or on social media (FB/Instagram – links on this website). Do you know your art history? I am not exceptional at it, but from doing this I am learning plenty. Some of you really know your stuff and it’s so impressive. Even wrong guesses are impressive to me! Give it a whirl…

I love these trees. We live in an older neighborhood and we have several of these “tulip trees”. The blooms are very tulip-like, but once the flower petals fall off green leaves shoot out and it becomes what you see the rest of the year, a pretty green tree. We have Spanish moss in trees in this area (which is what you see above).

Don’t you just love the lines of this home? The peak is breathtaking. A nice porch welcomes you into your home where the layout is perfection and ohmygosh, wait until you see the back of this plan! This would be ideal situated on the water, but would be wonderful anywhere!

I was getting ready to make dinner, I had just washed the asparagus and had them drying on a towel with a few grape tomatoes. I have a habit of pulling out all the ingredients before I start the process – then it hit me… This should be a mood board! Designers have mood boards of the samples of fabric and materials they’re using on a project. So here is my mood board.

Some of you may recognize this painting – or the artist who painted it? I love the shadows in the landscape, the horses, the camaraderie amongst the men. The view in the distance is so interesting. I wonder who painted this? Ok, well, I know – do you? Comment on social media or comment below with your answer. If you’re frustrated and it’s not coming to you, read on for the answer! Note the signature was altered on the painting so it wasn’t obvious.

I love flowers. Love them! They are bright and happy and make me smile. What a nice little pick me up during the week, (and yes, a photo counts!) I took this photo a while back when I was in Michigan. This is one of my dad’s rose bushes. The man has a green thumb just like his mom had. (🙌dad!) I love that my mom has little vases of roses everywhere. Next to the bed, in the kitchen, in the bathroom, in the living room. So pretty and such a nice touch!

Happy Valentine’s Day! Isn’t this the prettiest vignette? All the reds and pinks pulling it together nicely. I love the camellias in the glass bowl (so beautiful), and the light pink (large!) tulips in the background. The plates, napkins, silverware, glasses – all of it quite a delight! We popped into…
