Welcome to my blog!

This is where I post updates on design projects, pass along decorating tips and talk about the magical moments in life. All the photos are of my own work, unless I note otherwise.

Life is good, but so very busy. Do you feel that way, too? What keeps me sane are daily walks with the dog, taking photos with the iPhone and eating more than my share of dark chocolate. My ultimate stress-buster is spending time in a kayak.

Best of Houzz since 2012!

Consider a donation to this incredible organization. They provide clothing to children in need in Wake County.

Put these in your podcast library:

Dax Shepard’s podcast, The Armchair Expert. Warning - lots of naughty language, but very entertaining.

This American Life - who doesn’t love Ira Glass? His stories teach me something new every time.

The Moth - the art and craft of storytelling. 3 stories in an hour!

Table Manners- British singer Jessie Ware and her mom, Lennie, interview guests about favorite foods, meals, recipes, etc. Great fun to listen to.

The Hidden Brain - combines science with storytelling. SO good!

Any talk by Abraham Hicks on Youtube.

Follow me on social media!

A peek at my photos on Instagram:

Granddogs are visiting.
They pee wherever they like (in spite of many walks) and expect a LOT of laptime.

They’re a Corona Diversion to be sure!

Freedom comes from sacrifice. Thank you to all who sacrificed - today and every single day.

Some of our rhodos in a @gretchen.quinn container.
Pretty flowers in a great vase are such a mood lifter on a rainy day, don’t you think?

Stay safe my friends. Wear your masks!

Our rhodos get very little sun, so they bloom kind of late for Raleigh.
It’s wonderful to watch their progress every day!

First attempt at sourdough bread in the dutch oven.

It’s pretty, but how will it taste?

I’ll report back.
