There are many areas of our home that are persistent toddler-magnets no matter what we do but our little guy has three favorite hotspots: my capiz shell windchime in the corner of the dining room, the floor lamp in the living room, and the fireplace. We don’t use our fireplace (#southTexas) but the wire screen… Read More
Happy holiday season!! I hope all my US friends had a great Thanksgiving weekend filled with good food, family, and tons of laziness. As much as we wanted to get a head start on our decorations this year, we are just now starting to put things up…jury is still out on how it’ll hold up… Read More

I am of the group that you don’t decorate for Christmas until after Thanksgiving, and while yes, we did put our Christmas lights up this weekend, we did so only because we’re going to be gone the next three weekends and there are no Christmas decorations in the house yet, I promise! Butttt, I have… Read More
I believe the front entry and front door set the tone for the rest of your home, so it should be welcoming and inviting and represent your style. Our mid-90s stucco home got a beautiful and durable new door plus a redecorated courtyard and foyer to give it the coastal farmhouse entryway makeover it was… Read More
Happy New Year friends! We had a good holiday break at home but all three of us ended up sick for most of it and are still coughing weeks later, so it wasn’t the most relaxing or productive couple of weeks. And of course just a couple weeks into 2019 and the hustle is strong… Read More
