I am so excited to share my good news. Our home, the Waverly River House is featured in the magazine, Front Porch Life, spring edition. It is a digital magazine, created to feature down home living, southern roots, and great food. I had been following and enjoying @frontporchlifemag and @thesouthernladycooks on Instagram for a while.

We are happy that the River Cottage is finished. Please come and take a look at WaverlyRiverHouse.com

The Waverly River Cottage is finished!

When we started planning the addition, there were three specific areas that needed to be incorporated into those plans, a master bedroom, bathroom, and closet. Today, I will be sharing the details of our master bedroom. I usually have an idea of how I want something to look when I start to draw up plans […]

The Master Bedroom

  Our property is like a little hidden jewel.  Our neighborhood is located within ten minutes of Waverly, in the Dry Creek Cabin Site community. 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 […]

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 […]

Making Plans

The kitchen finally happened!!!

Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving is one of my favorite days of the year, and this one was no exception.  This year was especially wonderful, because for over a year I haven’t […]

Giving thanks everyday.

I’ve known for several months that I needed to post on my blog.  Life is so busy and I haven’t taken the time to slow down long enough to do it.  So today, I am telling you all, that it is my new goal to post at least twice a month.  Now, someone PLEASE hold […]

It’s good to have goals.

Frank and I have always loved Christmas, especially when the house was full of kids.  My favorite tradition that our family has, is to go to a Christmas Eve candlelight church service and then have dinner at Waffle House and tip our server big.  It’s such a special feeling, being with your family and celebrating the […]

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
