Friends!! It's been FOREVER since I posted! This weekend was my first to truly catch my breath in quite a few weeks and I am so happy to be back and bringing you up to speed on life lately. It's been a whirlwind! But yesterday I took in some of the ceremonies and TV shows reflecting on September 11th... it's hard to believe that 15 years have passed since that terrible day. And I still heard stories I have never heard before -- of individual … [Read more...]
The Meaning of Legacy
May 2, 2016 by · 1 Comment
Hi gang ~ I hope your weekend was wonderful! I had a great time at Lake Rabun with my in laws and a bunch of other "girls"... we had a such fun catching up and celebrating my SIL's career as an educator. Here was my view each morning when I woke up... It was a good time for me to unplug for a couple of days, too. I've spent some time over the last week or so thinking a lot about Legacy, so I thought I'd share a little of that brain … [Read more...]

Front Porch for Spring
April 21, 2016 by · 2 Comments
Hello, Thursday! This week is flying right by, isn't it? We've been blessed with some great weather this week, but unfortunately the pollen is still a factor so I haven't made much progress on outdoor projects. I DID get some weeding and cleaning up of the flower beds done though. :) And we've set out our hummingbird feeder -- it's early for them, but who knows? What I REALLY want to tackle though is our front porch and back deck... we … [Read more...]

I Can’t Resist: Kate Marker Interiors
March 7, 2016 by · 2 Comments
Hey there, friends! Monday again... yikes! We enjoyed the most gorgeous weekend here in GA. The hubs and I headed down to my in-laws' and got a few outdoor projects done for them. It felt awesome to be out in the sunshine... and we are pre-pollen-explosion so we were basking in that, too. It's a short window of time before the pollen gets bad, so I jacked up my own list of outdoor to-dos for this week as well. Gotta make hay while the sun … [Read more...]
I Can’t Resist: Oriental Rugs in the Kitchen
February 24, 2016 by · 1 Comment
Hey there, friends! It's been a busy week for Legacy and RAIN RAIN RAIN for days, so a painting project I'd hoped to share isn't quite share-able today. BUT... I did want to share a design idea I just can't quit these days... oriental rugs in the kitchen. I was first intrigued with this a few years back when I spotted this image on Joan's blog for the love of a house... for the love of a house Which, by the way, if you don't follow … [Read more...]
