I have failed in the past when it came to dressing windows.
My grandmother had draperies in her den, living room, and bedroom that had to have been custom- off white linen with pinch pleats and a stationary pulley to open and close. My parents were of the 80's and 90's school of sheer panels ...
Coronado Update: Living Room Reveal
I grew up spending most of my free time in my grandparents' home. It was a tiny little 1940's ranch home with two bedrooms. One of these was my grandma's room (my grandpa had an apartment to himself in the basement), while the other was called the "den." Here were their two recliners, a pull out ...
The Story of the Buddha
You may have noticed in the reveal of our entryway that there was a cute little Buddha hanging out by our family photos.
My dad was a child of the 50's and 60's, turning 18 slap in the middle of the Vietnam War. He was drafted after high school, and took off to Fort Benning, Georgia, then to ...
Coronado Update: Entry Reveal
Coming to a home like this one- a large center-hall Colonial, built in the mid-60's- from a chic and slender townhouse was not without a few head-scratching moments of "how do we make this work?" One of the biggest spaces that just didn't seem conducive to our lives was the entry. Dominated on one ...
In the Bag

For the last several weeks, then, my entire office has been crammed into my car and ...

For those buyers craving a cute home in a bustling area, this bright and renovated shotgun on Goss Avenue really offers it all. Behind the picket fence and through the front door, tall ceilings and exposed brick fireplace lend an air to the turn of century construction, while features like ...
A Very Belated Review of Talavera, Palm Springs
When the man and I began planning our annual trip out west in September, our usual spot- The Parker- was 100% booked. Heart broken, I began searching for a place to substitute. We've looked at vintage spots like The Ingleside Inn in the past (home to Melvyn's restaurant, one of our favorites), and ...
New Listing: 1413 Mill Race Road, Lyndon
Tucked between Whipps Mill and LaGrange Roads in 40242, a cute ranch is ready for the next owner.
