Whoa. Wait a minute. Did I just read that right? Was I talking about us? Yes. We, the devoted and self professed Urbanites, just bought a house in the Burbs. Are we caraaazy? Well, yes, maybe a little, but the Burbs aren’t what they used to be. The internet has changed a…
42 Tips For Styling Your Holiday Home 2016 + Tour!!
We are just beginning to settle into our new home (a completely surreal experience to say the least!) but I couldn’t help but sneak away to the Holiday Home 2016 presented by Atlanta Homes and Lifestyle. The home is packed with holiday decor inspiration and is absolute proof that you can sell…
A Perplexing Paradox:: A New House Made Old
Who wants an old house? It sounds dingy and dodgy and maybe downright gross. But add a couple words to the mix and suddenly you have… “old world charm” … which of course is something that many of us would love to have in our homes. The words “patina” and “shabby chic” have been…
Oh. Geez. Clean up on Aisle Four… They’re Christmas Crazy.
I would prefer to tell you that we are extremely mature adults who cannot be influenced by the presence of adorable holiday Ritz crackers (because they taste better when they are shaped like snowflakes.) … or peppermint flavored Oreos (because a stripe of red down the center equals awesomeness!) … or Gingerbread Lattes….
When You Need House Plant Inspiration: Copenhagen Botanical Gardens
If hopping on a plane and heading to the Copenhagen Botanical Gardens was cheap, we’d probably all be doing it this weekend. Thankfully, most large cities have their own Botanical Gardens and I think you will find them to be quite inspiring. My mom taught me to pay attention to the plants…
Bringing The Art Filled Farmhouse To The Suburbs
Few people hear “Locust Rest and Tea Room” and immediately want to throw down their money on an old Farmhouse, which is very lucky for Andrew and Michael. Apparently the idea of locust stopping by for rest and tea didn’t deter them a bit! This 18th century farmhouse has had its fair…
Why It’s Ok That Moving Is Sad
I haven’t really talked about leaving Copenhagen. We have definitely thought about it a lot but I was raised with the general consensus being that we are suppose to put a smile on our faces and fake happiness when necessary. No one likes a negative person, right? But moving is sad. At…
This Post Will Make You Crave Pie & Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving is suppose to be special, right? I don’t know about you, but our life has been so busy lately! With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I was starting to feel a sudden panic. I’m not ready!! So, I’ve rounded up some inspiration, links, and recipes that I hope will help you make…
Is A Black Fireplace My Final Descent into Goth?
When we moved to Copenhagen I didn’t own a single piece of black clothing. Fast forward six years and about 3/4 of my wardrobe is black. I’ve painted my living room black, my studio an almost black grey, and I’ve even started painting my nails black. I’ve gone to the dark side….
The Worst Staging, But The Best Way To Live…
Your home has two wardrobes. One for living and, if you decide to sell it, another for listing. This home literally has the worst staging possible. It goes against even my own passion for “lived in staging”. My sellers struggle with this all. the. time. They want to live in their home…
Come on in, Ya’ll! Welcome to our Spiffer Upper!
So, here we are. Right in the middle, not in the city and not in the country, but in… the suburbs. Gulp. How did we end up in No Man’s Land? When we got back from Copenhagen we needed a place to land and to register our kids for school. The first…
Real Estate and Politics :: VOTE TODAY!
Real estate and politics don’t always intersect in conversation, but lately that has been an exception. The buzz around town has been that the luxury market always slows a bit around election time as buyers and sellers wait it out. While I can’t say whether it’s the election or not, I can definitely confirm that,…
