The Waverly River Cottage is finished!

Full disclosure. I may have a plant problem. I love how a plant immediately breaths life into a room and makes it feel more cozy. Plants are some of my favorite accessories to decorate with, and I have one in most every room of my home. Plants aren’t hard to care for and make a […]

Thank you so much for joining me here. Today, I am sharing our master bathroom design. Making a plan. It was important to me when beginning the process of designing the bathroom, that it flowed well with our master bedroom and that it had enough storage. Frank and I had been sharing the bathroom for […]

Master Bathroom Design

Nothing makes me feel better during the winter time, than a bowl of delicious warm soup. And friends, I am here to tell you, that the recipe that I most want to share with you, fits the bill. I was fortunate enough to win a contest on Instagram – yes, can you believe it? – […]

It’s 2021 and I’m back.

This area was surveyed into approximately 60 large lots, by the Tennessee Valley Authority in the 1950’s and the lots were auctioned off.  The community stretches over several acres and […]

Our front entrance.

From the first time that I told Frank that I wanted to do a pergola on the back of the house, it was a battle.  I had planned since last November to have a bridal shower here for my daughter Kasie, and wanted to have it under a pergola.  Frank, in no way was in […]

The Pergola

I don’t know about you, but March is definitely one of my most favorite months, especially this year.  This winter has been very long and very cold, and I am over it.  Anyone that knows me, knows that I do not like the cold, at all!  When it’s cold outside, I am not motivated to […]
