This is a fun project I did over the summer that’s made my bathroom so much brighter. Feast your eyes on this beast: Yellowing paint not your thing? Mine either. Every single counter in my house came with that strange metal instead of caulk and I’m also not here for that. According to […]
The Garden Experiment, Part One?
I’m taking a break from my house tour to talk about a different part of the house – my garden! I’ve mentioned that there’s always a project when you own a house (this is a universally acknowledged fact, right? I don’t need to keep mentioning it?) and a garden is that way too. If you’ve […]
House Tour: The Kitchen
Today I’m sharing what I think is the most dramatic transformation: the kitchen! I have to make a confession right away though: these pictures are almost two years old. I put all of my energy into the kitchen right away and it has taken me this long to get the rest of the house ready […]
House Tour: Living and Dining Room
To celebrate the two year anniversary of buying my house, I’m kicking off a house tour! I cannot believe it’s been TWO YEARS already. Would you be surprised to learn I’ve had these posts drafted for about a year and 8 months and have just been waiting to take and add pictures? I have added […]
Ten Things to Know About Visiting Asheville
Last weekend I went on a brief trip to nearby Asheville, NC. It was my first time visiting the mountains of North Carolina and I didn’t know much about the city going into the trip, aside from the fact that it’s a big tourist destination. With that in mind, I was surprised by much of […]
Little Letters

This is part of a bigger project I’m tackling this year and feels like a natural update to several of my previous posts. In case you’re new here or just dropped in for this specific post here’s […]
The Case of the Salt and Pepper Shakers
As I’m writing this post it’s December 2017 and the time of year when holiday gift-giving guides are all you can find. I’ll be posting one of my own soon, but I’m going to start by telling you what I want for Christmas this year: salt and pepper shakers. Let me explain. When I first […]
Here’s to Starting a New Chapter
Last November, I started a blog post I couldn’t finish. What you’re about to read sat in my drafts for a year and 3 days where I looked at it every now and then and just shook my head. I wanted to tell the story of my new life in Charlotte, but I didn’t know […]
Why I’m Bringing Back My Blog
It may surprise you to know I’ve been planning this re-launch for almost a year. I was telling my best friend that the re-launch was going to be late, again, and she asked why I suddenly had this renewed interest in my blog. I won’t lie and say that made me feel awesome. What I […]
