Good morning! One of my favorite places in the house is our bedroom. I’ve always wanted a “pretty” bedroom and with the romantic ceilings and natural light of this space it immediately set the tone. My graduation gift from HIGH SCHOOL was a new bed. Because it was sturdy and had ample storage, we used […]

During our whole married life we have never had a dining room table. We just wanted to wait until we were in our permanent home before deciding on something that may or may not work elsewhere. So, now that we have been in our new home for just over a month one of the first […]

It all started with Gwyn’s obsession with Goldilocks and the three bears, and when I came across her costume, that one was a given. Not knowing what Cal should be, I came across this matching little bear costume and thus, the […]

Now that we are settling into our new home and are putting things where they belong, it is clear where a few things are missing. Since we have waited to buy furniture and home decor until we were in a more permanent home, we have a blank slate to work with. Which is awesome! But, […]
