My Mom and I are ending the week a bit tuckered out from loads of painting and redecorating, but she is super pleased with her new dark navy bathroom so it definitely feels worth all the effort. Mom didn’t want to lose the traditional feel of her bathroom, so instead, we played…
Does A Southern Drawl Belong In This Atlanta Home?
The South has a reputation to maintain. A big one. It’s got it’s chaaarmin’ drawl, it’s hospitality, it’s sweet tea sippin’ days on scorchin’ hot days, and traditions so thick you could cut em’, but Susan Ferrier isn’t playing by the rules. How daaare her! (Said with a Southern Accent, of course.) Rather than…
Mom’s Traditional Bathroom Makeover :: The Before
I was up to my eyeballs with packing our shipping crate and selling off what couldn’t fit when my mom e-mailed me about her bathroom. Having hoped for a long time to paint it, she wondered if I would be interested in helping. Looking around me at the chaos, the emotional drain, and…
A $15 Sunroom Makeover :: The First Thing You Do When You Land In The USA
While the typical first order of business when one lands in the US after selling two thirds of one’s possessions, saying farewells to one’s home and squeezing a family of five’s life down to 10 suitcases to live out of for the unforeseeable future, is hugging the necks of loved ones, eating favorite foods,…
We Chose To Become An Apparition
It’s 10 o’clock at night and the kids have finally drifted off to sleep on their makeshift beds on the floor. I won’t deny it. I’m emotional… which comes as a great relief after weeks of feeling numb. It doesn’t feel real that tomorrow we will leave Copenhagen and start a new…

Blank Space | When All You Have Is A Suitcase
I’m sitting in a blank space, one that is no longer mine. The furniture and everything that once filled this place have all been either packed or sold. Terror of this moment has haunted me for months and yet as soon as the truck pulled away with what little we are shipping back…

If we ever want to do something new and be stretched to discover what is yet to be, then we must create from a place that does not yet exist. Pinterest, instagram, and stacks of magazines can be enormously helpful in gaining inspiration, but if that is our only source of ideas…
Poke your head into a Hollywood Home :: Because That is what you do when you are going to LA
Clearly the first thing you do when you learn that you are heading to LA to chase down some significant job leads is start poking your head into other peoples’ houses. I mean, really, isn’t that what LA is all about? Star gazing, dreaming, hoping… and trying to act cool while hoping to spot someone…
A Nude for every woman | The Shoe Your legs are Begging For
They say every woman should have a pair of good quality nude heels in her closet, but lately I’m taking mine in a shade lighter than normal thanks to the Nordic and it’s perpetual darkness. Thankfully, Christian Louboutin is ready with a response. Not only has he created a line of “nude for every woman”…
What tha? IS this home a Starbucks Drink Order?!
Prior to the 1990’s most of us lived our lives in blissful ignorance of a coffee storm that was brewing (pun painfully intended) and gave little thought to ordering a coffee. It was either black or taken with a little bit of sugar and milk. Some of our exotic friends would have the audacity…
