I won’t be in town for Easter this year (girls trip!), but as I was packing things this weekend, I allowed myself a break to play house and create a fun tablescape as if I were going to be. 🙂 I like to keep brunch from feeling too stuffy, but still pretty and a bit…
Another Oscar Party is in the books! It is so fun to host this little get-together, each year with a different group of girls (someday, I’m hoping to get all different friends who don’t know each other together for this, but until space allows…it’s on a bit of a rotation!) This year’s scheme was Pantone’s…

There were days when I couldn’t imagine what writing this post might feel like … but it’s official, we’re DONE with our basement! This post got VERY long in its original format, so I’ve split it into two parts. Today’s half is to refresh memories on the progress we made up through January, along with…
It has taken me longer than I planned to get some “real” pictures of our finished lower level. I had anticipated a break somewhere between sweeping up the last bits of sawdust and when Page would start cutting into the walls to install speakers and hook up the TV. And then I couldn’t help myself…
