It's almost officially fall and I am so excited, despite that it's still 90 degrees here. I have learned that the temperature really makes no difference. You are officially allowed to decorate for fall when the calendar says September. If you're really anxious, you can decorate for September in August. Either way, if you live in the South, you should not feel bad about decorating for fall even ... View Post
Summer is Here!
Hi y'all! I've always said this as a joke because Northwesterners like us do not say "y'all", but I am just now learning that if you refuse to speak "Southern", you may find yourselves with some miscommunications with Southerners over this very word. In the South, the word "you" cannot be plural like it can be in the rest of the English-speaking world. The only way to make "you" plural here ... 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.

Plus some new customers and clients. It all turned out much better than expected (let's just say I ... View Post

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
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
