I just returned from Atlanta market and I could NOT be more inspired!

One of my favorite parts of Fall is the pumpkin carving! We don’t get crazy with it, but it’s become a fun tradition. This year I thought I would try roasting the pumpkin seeds when we were done. The kids were very impatient with the amount of time it took to clean all the goop […]

When designing our New Fall Collection, I wanted to incorporate neutral textural elements that could tie everything together and transition to the next season as well. Leather was the perfect fit.

I’ll never forget the sinking feeling I had when I first walked into the “Redeemed Reno”.

What I found upon that first […]

Ah, pillows! To me, throw pillows are the icing on the cake when it comes to design projects. They can add that pop of color you’ve been missing, they can be switched out seasonally, and they can tie a whole room together. They are an inexpensive accessory that shouldn’t be overlooked. When you have the […]

If you want to know what the Bible says about divorce, ask a divorced person. I know because I am one, and I have those scriptures memorized. “I will be with you wherever you go.” I would cry out to God time and time again asking him what I should do, and that’s what He […]

There’s a new Italian restaurant in our neighborhood.
