Hi there, y'all! Welcome, new blog followers! I know it's not easy to figure out how to follow this blog (point the mouse at the "contact" tab), but that'll be changing soon. And, if you have come in to the shop to visit us, thank you! You have no idea how much it means to me! I love hearing about you who are buying candles for friends' birthdays and rugs for your kitchens or pictures for your ... View Post
Getting the Look
It's hard to believe it has been one full year since our photo shoot for American Farmhouse Style magazine! It has been such a busy year since, and I was so burned out on decorating that I thought I would never care about decorating our own house again. Then, we found ourselves opening a shop that was originally just kitchen hardscapes (cabinets, countertops and tile), and turned into all that ... View Post

It feels like spring here in the South, thanks to temperatures in the 70's! Winters are short here in Tennessee, but the arrival of spring is still much appreciated. Today I saw buds on one of our trees and heard birdies chirping (before the rain sent them packing). It won't be long before we find out if the dogwood we planted last year survived the winter. Our beloved pink flowering tree died ... View Post
Modern Farmhouse Kitchen
Hi friends! I thought you might like to see what we're up to, design-wise, at the moment. We're remodeling a cute little 1978 kitchen (okay, maybe it wasn't that cute).

Apparently it hit a few places early, because I saw it at the grocery store a couple days ago and got mine in the mail last week. But. Now it's officially here across the ... View Post

Once our kitchen was pretty much done, we started to realize just how irritating our existing pantry situation was. And not in a nit-picky, I-only-live-in-perfect-houses sort of way. In a my-husband-will-lose-it-if-the-garage-door-keeps-slamming-into-the-pantry-door sort of way. When our house was built, it was gifted with an abundance of doors in a very teeny space. There was one standard ... View Post
