The Delightful Home {Dressing Room}

April 12, 2017February 10, 2023

I’ve shared this space before, but when I updated our bedroom and photographed the final look I realized how poor the pictures were that I took four years ago.  Our closet is very narrow but runs the full length of our master bedroom so it has the potential to hold a lot.  When we moved… Read More

How I Painted the Dogs

April 7, 2017April 12, 2017

Before you go any further, know that no live animals were harmed in the “painting of the dogs.”  Not even this girl who tried her best to run away with my paint brush.  :-) Y’all were SO sweet to gush over the dog’s new do when I shared our updated foyer!  I was really unsure… Read More

The Delightful Home {Spring Foyer}

March 22, 2017February 18, 2018

UPDATED: 2/18/18 While I do love my foyer, I’ve thought a long time about making it a little lighter and brighter for spring and summer.  Doing just that, our new “spring” entry now flows with the rest of the house and gives a taste of what the rest of our home will bring.  Y’all come… Read More

The Delightful Home {Master Bedroom}

January 24, 2017March 26, 2019

UPDATED 3/26/19 IN THIS POST As y’all know, I chipped away at little updates in the master bedroom for most of last year.  Just when I had the room finished, it was time to put up the Christmas decorations.  Now that things have settled down and the house has returned to its “everyday” look, I’m… Read More

2 Simple Steps to an Antique Gold Chandelier Finish

August 25, 2016February 10, 2023

Change is afoot in our bedroom!  Last year I picked up the most gorgeous antique mirror while home in Savannah.  I has finally been hung in the master bedroom and is just stunning.  Buttttt…. as often happens, that change has led to a slew of others.  There was really nothing wrong with the bedroom before.… Read More

The Delightful Home {Powder Room}

August 16, 2016May 10, 2017

This little before and after (x3) is so very over due that I could have had a baby in the time it took to pull it together.  If you’ll remember, about a year ago I signed up for the One Room Challenge to rework my powder room.  And, while the time frame of six weeks… Read More

Chalk Paint on the Dresser

August 3, 2016August 7, 2017

If you’ve been following along here for any time at all, you’ll probably know that I LOVE traditional dark wood furniture.  But, I never loved the red undertones of the dresser in our master.  Along with a bed and sofa, it was one of the very first things we bought for our home after the wedding.  Fourteen… Read More

Once I decided to have a party, the vision came to Once I decided to have a party, the vision came together quickly. I fell in love with a bottle of Chloe wine with a black bow standing in the aisle at Publix in Savannah… and the rest was history.

While pink would have been the obvious choice for me, I loved the idea of something more classic. Black and white, bows and a few (okay, a lot) monograms woven in.

I wanted everything to feel pulled together but still warm. The kind of space where you walk in and immediately feel like you’re somewhere special.

Every ribbon, every layer, every little detail… it all added up to exactly the feeling I was hoping for 

Y’all come on in… 🖤🤍

I have so much to share from my 50th birthday part I have so much to share from my 50th birthday party. It was such a magical evening, and there are so many details to share and moments to convey that I’ve had to really think about where to even begin. So we’ll start here.

I went back and forth for a long time on whether or not to even have a party. Party planning is no small undertaking. But then again… I celebrate everything. And I knew I would be sad if this milestone year came and went without marking it in a meaningful way.

With a little encouragement from Honey, it was a go.

And once I decided, I knew exactly what I wanted. A celebration at our home, filled with the people who have shaped my life. I wanted the whole night to feel like me. And I wanted my guests to feel like they belong the moment they walk in. A night where conversations linger, and where you can look around and think… this is everything.

I’ll be sharing it all, but the beginning felt like the only place to start. 🖤🤍
