Happy Fall, Everyone! I got an email from Starbucks this morning saying Pumpkin Spice Lattes have officially returned. So even though it's close to fire-and-brimstone temperatures here in Tennessee, it's officially fall. I'm actually having a pumpkin spice latte right now at home because I found a great recipe for pumpkin spice syrup. I posted the recipe on Instagram, but if you have ... View Post
Summer Visitors and a Decorating Tip
Hi there! I hope you are all having a nice summer! We are having a stay-cation this year at our neighborhood pool, since we can't be away from a few of our projects at the moment.

We are thinking more ... View Post

I would love to give you an ... View Post
Before Pictures, Plus Meet our Team!
Hey there, everyone! We have had a busy season at Holly Thompson Homes! If you've stopped by to see our mini-showroom, you may have seen cabinet door samples as well as countertop samples arrive! Hopefully you didn't get scared away by accidentally stopping by our bigger showroom (the one that we're moving into in March), because it looks pretty shabby. If you don't believe me, here it ...
