Happy Fall, Everyone! It's officially here, and while it's still in the 90's this week in the Nashville area, some crunchy dead leaves are falling. That's a start. There is actually a tree right outside our front window which has totally turned, but I fear it's actually dead rather than sporting neutrals for autumn. A FALL HOME TOUR of our house is currently featured at American Farmhouse ... View Post
The Countdown
Hi there! It seems I have been missing from my blog-writing duties lately. I am so, so tired right now but we are almost to the fun part where I get to design and style our showroom! I can't wait to post pictures of it (and our other projects), and hopefully meet you at our shop! Things have evolved in the past few months so much that it's hard to keep up! I would love to give you an ... View Post
Happy February!
Hi everyone! I can't believe it's February already-- has anyone decorated for Valentine's Day this year? In the past, we've always had lots of little homemade heart banners and garlands out but this year I've totally forgotten! I figured it was too late to bother for this year, but then Bennett (age 9) asked if she could be in charge of decorating. Here's the faux fireplace in our dining ... 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). But it originally belonged to Waylon Jennings (am I right, Jan?). It's the home's original kitchen but was shabbily rehabbed in the early 2000's in order to make it more palatable for buyers who like shabby rehabs. I mean, ... View Post
Oh Happy Day
Hi guys! I'll bet most of you already know this, but today is the official day that our issue of American Farmhouse Style magazine hit newsstands! (By "our issue", I mean the issue that features our home and our kitty.) 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
Mid-August Update
I love this time of year. Even though it's still summer (even more so in the South), the angle of the sun changes and reminds me of good things. We're from the Pacific Northwest, and there (in Eastern Washington), the warm sun gives way quickly to chilly breezes by late October. Those days in September and October are my favorites of the whole year. Here, in Tennessee, we don't get to enjoy ... View Post
