Fall is here and while some projects are complete and being enjoyed others are still in production and one is soon to begin. I’m thrilled to report that the North Mississippi project is shaping up beautifully. There was a weak moment recently that proved three rules of renovation really does exist. We found that it…

Scenes of Summer
When last we spoke it was the Fourth of July and we were in East Tennessee. I can’t believe I’ve been away from you so long. Moreover, I get tired thinking about what I’ve done in between posts. I didn’t realize I was so busy until I was telling a friend why I couldn’t take…
This Solitary Life
I know two weeks is too long to be away. I feel certain you have been sitting staring at your monitor the whole time. Now, you have to clear your schedule because this will be the longest post in history. However, you’re about to see my life in a two-week retrospective. I’ll begin with the…

Spring and summer both hold wonderful opportunities for cocktail parties, backyard socials and of course weddings. Here are some inspiration photos to help you plan your Spring…
Sweet Design
Who would’ve thought that the birthplace of Elvis would bring so much information that I had to create two posts. I must say it’s very exciting to see the city have this new energy and growth…AND all the growth is no longer “out at the mall”. I’ve heard it said “life is short, eat dessert…
Fresh and New
Tupelo, MS has always been a part of my life. I grew up 30 miles from there. We “went out to eat” there. We shopped there. I lived there and I’m truly blessed that currently my business and personal life include some wonderful clients/friends that live there. Yesterday, I drove to the All-American City to…
