Utterly Enchanting

Imagine the possibilities...but then again, perhaps some things are better left as-is.

Le Love

I'm not sure what to call this marriage of styles, but I know I like it. A lot. I suppose this is what happens when Southern grandeur collides with Belgian austerity and for good measure a pinch of organic, a dash of vintage, and a smidgen of industrial chic is thrown in to the mix. Yum! It makes for a delicious design stew.

Home Tour: Weekend Retreat

This is my kind of weekend retreat. A beautiful renovation using mostly found objects and salvaged materials turned an ugly duckling '70s cabin into a wonderful, character-filled family retreat. A chicken coop turned playhouse, a shed became a guesthouse, and a dilapidated critter-infested structure went from eyesore to eye-catching home!
