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!

Featured Artist: Lucy Williams!

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.

This painting (and others) will be available this fall – for more information check out Lucy’s Instagram! Continue reading “Featured Artist: Lucy Williams!”

Happy May Day! 🌸 AND ☀️ The Last Pool Rake You Will Ever Buy!

Image: ProTuffProducts.com

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.  Continue reading “Happy May Day! 🌸 AND ☀️ The Last Pool Rake You Will Ever Buy!”

Featured Artist: Kimberly Goldstein!

Madrid by Kimberly Goldstein 12×12″ Mixed Media

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!

The St. George Cottage House Plan by John Tee!

This is the St. George Cottage house plan by John Tee! This plan is 1,610 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. I love the exterior – and oh! The interior is fabulous as well! There is a front porch and an optional covered porch across the back of the house. The dormers add such charm, don’t they?  Continue reading “The St. George Cottage House Plan by John Tee!”

Artist Submission: Susan Bartlett Rice!

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!

Cauliflower Soup, Cheese Toast and a Chilewich Placemat

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”

Featured Artist: Anne Ireland!

Island Inlet by Anne Ireland 30″x30″ Oil

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!

Artist Submission: Petrea Noyes!

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!”

Check out the Freshwater Rest house plan by Flatfish Island Designs!

This is the Freshwater Rest house plan by Flatfish Island Designs. This plan is 4,025 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. This is a stunning plan, perfect for island living. Sharp exterior, isn’t it? Love all the windows (and the front porch)! I also like that you don’t notice that the garage is located on the left side of the house. It’s there, but it just looks like part of the house. Continue reading “Check out the Freshwater Rest house plan by Flatfish Island Designs!”

Orange-Sauced Chicken Recipe from Cooking Light!

My adaptation of Cooking Light’s Orange-Sauced Chicken

I love running across a tasty recipe, especially one that is quick to make and healthy as well. This one appealed to me because it’s something different to do with chicken. A different taste – chicken can get tedious if you let it. Don’t!

Normally I prefer to post an image of the finished product and then the recipe, but Facebook usually chooses image #2 to post, so… that would explain the backwards way I post recipes…

Poolside Geraniums – Charleston, SC

Geraniums

Our geraniums are bursting with color and have been for some time now. Even our geranium from last year that looked a little bleak after the winter (despite being put in the garage on the nights that we had that dipped below freezing) – but they are happy and blooming now.

I love this little scene. The pool, the wicker chair and the geranium. Our happy place!
