Raspberry season is the best time of year, is it not? Right now I purchase a flat from a local store, but one of the first things I'm going to do when we move over to Lost Creek Stables is plant a raspberry patch. They are my favorite! This year I had a pint left over after making my annual jam, so I searched for a way to use them. Enter … Read More »

Building Our House
Release and Watch Providence Work All right friends - I need to catch you up on a few minor details. One of them being we've started building our new house. First we said we were, then we weren't, and back and forth until I've honestly lost track of it all. We got to the point where I thought we were going to stay in our current home for as … Read More »
The High Contrast Kitchen
A few years ago (has it been that long already?) my little sister came to me because she was getting ready to build her dream home. She and her husband had bought some family land with great views of the valley and rolling mountains behind them. Dream homes sound fun in theory, but they also create a lot of pressure to make sure things are … Read More »
Top 3 Trends at High Point Market
The Spring 2016 show at High Point has drawn to a close. It was a beautiful market, with even better weather. While I don't think it's healthy to follow every trend that comes along, I would like to share three consistent themes I saw as I visited showrooms. There's one in particular that no one seems to be talking about, and I think it's … Read More »
Stew With Mashed Potatoes
What is better than comfort food? Comfort food that can be thrown together in the morning and forgotten about until dinner time. Today I'm sharing one such recipe. It was adapted from a Blue Apron meal. The difference? My stew is better (I still love you Blue Apron) and it can be thrown together in a slow cooker. Busy moms and dads can … Read More »

A Life With No Regrets
When we heard the news that Kaycee wouldn't be with us much longer, I think our whole family was stunned. It wasn't that we knew she would be healed. That was always uncertain. It just seemed so sudden....so abrupt. We knew she had bad mornings, but she never complained to us. We told her many times it was ok to complain....just a little. … Read More »
The Future of Kitchens
I love living in the least populated state in the Union, but it does present some challenges as a designer. Sometimes I have to drive great distances to find the product that I need. Yesterday I spent eight hours in the car. The road from my house to Salt Lake City winds through many places even radio is hard to receive, so that meant lots … Read More »
What is Living Simply?
I love books, especially when they are beautiful. Recently I ordered two. One because it expresses a viewpoint I love; the other because it is the opposite of everything I am. One is tied to nature; the other to finding beautiful things in unorthodox ways. While I enjoyed the way the last was written, it gave me the sudden urge to purge my … Read More »
