Well, it's back to early fall after enjoying a week at the beach with my high school senior for his fall break. And true to form, it's been gray, rainy, misty, and cool ever since we got home! But now that I had my last gasp of summer, I'm ready to fully embrace fall -- changing leaves, cozy decor and all. The week before I left, the blogosphere was full of fall home tours and I found loads of inspiration sifting through all the posts. I'll … [Read more...]
Ready for Fall?

Hello, friends! I hope you all had a super Labor Day weekend... we spent some good time chilling on our deck and watching football (woo hoo!!) and a little US Open tennis. So nice to recharge at home this year. I'm usually a little of a hold-out when it comes to fall... I just adore summer and everything that goes along with it!

Monday again? My weekend just flew by, but it was a good one -- a little poolside time, finishing a good book, furniture painting, movie night with my girl, and last night -- Steely Dan, y'all!

Well, we survived the first day of school and my senior is ready to enjoy his last year in high school...
