It’s that time of year – birds singing, flowers blooming, snow melting (hopefully), and sun shining! The time of year we dust out our homes and open up the windows for some fresh, non-freezing air. I love this time of year. Spring is easily my favorite season (autumn is a close second). You may call […]
Choosing the Right Lighting
The end is near! We finally closed on our house just before Christmas. It has made moving a bit of a nightmare, but the house is ours, and it is time to turn it into a home. Today I want to talk a little about lighting. Finding the right lights, creating the right mood with lights, […]

Making a House a Home: All about the Attitude
As my blog title states, I’m striving to turn our House into a Home. For me this means, it’s not just a dwelling, a roof over our heads and beds to sleep in (though I have recently taken up residency on the couch, darn pregnancy pains). A home is a place full of love, laughter, […]
We’re Moving!!!
