The grilled cheese has had many "makeovers", but I loved the idea of this sandwich because I felt it could be more of a stand-alone item versus being a side to soup. Not only that, it was easy. I love it when that happens. Enjoy! Grilled Philly Cheese Sandwich Sourdough bread 1 green pepper, diced small 1/2 … Read More »

High Point Market 2017
High Point Market is a must-see for anyone in the design business. I try to go once a year to catch up with vendors, colleagues, and learn from the many educational events. Trying to get from Wyoming to High Point, NC is always an adventure. No matter how I try to arrange my flights, there's simply not a convenient way to get through four … Read More »
Q & A: Styling a Fireplace
Today I wanted to try something a little different. This blog was the place I started in 2009, and it has done many transformations. This may or may not be another one...we'll see how it goes! I want to start a series where I answer reader's questions. Do you like that idea? It could be a fun way to interact as well as solve some dilemmas that … Read More »
Red Velvet Cake
I'm so excited to share this recipe with you! A quick back story: I've been on a slow food journey all of my life. Little changes have been made over a couple of decades, and my latest mission is to buy as much food as I can locally and support small farmers. I grew up on a dairy farm, and I love supporting them. Because we have a few more … Read More »
Laundry Room
Today I want to give you a look at what I'm designing for our mudroom/laundry. I am creating final drawings and locking in my cabinet choices. This part always makes me excited and a little bit nervous. Committing to these expensive, hard-to-change architectural details is a big deal! As you know, our home isn't that big, so we needed to combine … Read More »
Project Mountain Man
To all of you who have been waiting to see this project, thanks for hanging in there and enduring the teasers on social media. This project was a stretch for me. To say that I am tired of cabins and yellow pine is a bit of an understatement. I've seen them with heavy European furniture, studded leather, and antler lighting my entire life. When I … Read More »
Master Bathroom Updates
Hi, friends! I promised you an update on our new home, and I'm going to share the adjustments I've {been forced} to make in our master bathroom. When I design, I draw and source items. However, I never know the "life span" of the items I've sourced until I try to order them. It takes a lot of calling and checking stock to verify I can … Read More »
Snickerdoodle Apple Rum Cake
It's the third day in a row that began with temps in the negative double digits. That meant a day filled with deep cleaning, laundry whirring, and cooking something delicious. Make that delicious and boozy. I don't drink, but this weather is making me consider it...hehe. A good homemade rum cake has continued to elude me, but what if we made it … Read More »
The Parable of the Cloud
I can think by myself for hours. I suppose that is why I love silence and running in the mountains. They offer me the space and time to roll ideas over in my head; to commune with the Universe on a deep level. It wasn't until a few years ago when a friend helped me identify my top five strengths that I started to see how much deep brain diving, … Read More »
Kitchen Changes
New construction is a trip. I often liken it to herding cats. From a design standpoint, I'm going after specifics, and the construction world functions better on generalities. Thank goodness for processes that help me ride out the curves and navigate when we hit a dead end. When we talked last, I had shared our plans for our new kitchen and … Read More »
