9 Granites That Just Might Make You Stop Hating on Granite
As far as countertop materials go, I think it is safe to say that granite has fallen out of favor. Quartz, quartzite and marble are generally more coveted by homeowners and home buyers. Of course, I am overgeneralizing (with the alternatives, as well). And therein lies the issue with granite. When you see or hear…
Read MoreHow I Survived My Kitchen (& Home) Renovation
Well, hello there! I’m just emerging from an extended pause, which I’m going to blame on my home renovation. The last month or so, leading up to and of course including the holiday season, was memorable, and incredibly stressful. That being said, it was also mission accomplished. We began work on the project in April,…
Read MoreAppliances and Adornments for The Morning Kitchen
It really takes a village to bring a show house room to fruition. I’ve been blogging a lot lately about some of the ‘villagers’ that helped to create The Morning Kitchen, which I designed with Dianne Aucello of Edesia Kitchen & Bath Studio. Today I wanted to devote some time to two distinct sides of…
Read MoreDay 231: Project 1896 (Our Home Renovation) – Christmas, Come Quickly
I hope everyone survived the Black Friday/Cyber Monday madness. You won’t find any gift guides on my blog – not this year, anyway. I’m just not that into shopping – unless we’re talking about shopping for home furnishings – my favorite sport! I did spend some time online last night buying new ‘everyday’ dinnerware, water…
Read MoreDay 196: Project 1896 (Our Home Renovation) – Major Progress & Minor Adjustments
It may be surprising to hear, but the drama (and, therefore, the stress level) is relatively low where our home renovation project is concerned (follow this link to read earlier posts!). Don’t get me wrong – things are moving along at a breakneck pace at this point. But, at this moment, just about everything seems…

I feel like I shouldn’t even be writing this at this moment – but I promised it last Thursday on Instagram, and I’m a woman of my word! My show house design partner and I are dealing with a lot of drama and anxiety related to the kitchen we have designed, which is supposed to…
Read MoreDay 161: Project 1896 (Our Home Renovation) – Color and Crises of Confidence
Oops, I did it again. It’s kind of ironic that I sat down to write a post in part about color and that big blue ‘publish’ button did me in again. It somehow wooed me into sending my post live before I had typed a word. My apologies to email subscribers who received a blank…
Read MoreDay 92: Project 1896 (Our Home Renovation)
Where do I begin? The past week has been somewhat of a blur. So much so that I completely overlooked Friday as a blogging day, and didn’t even think of it until Saturday night. Thanks so much to those who sent so many nice comments my way here on the blog, on Facebook and IG…
Read MoreDay 57: Project 1896 (Our Home Renovation)
It’s been about a month or so since I’ve blogged about our renovation, mainly because I’ve been waiting until something ‘exciting’ happened. Day 1 was amazing – interior demo was swift and ruthless! Reminder… Days 2 through 50 or so seemed to drag on. Although progress was definitely happening, it was just not as visible…

First of all, I wanted to thank everyone who took the time to read and/or comment on my One Room Challenge reveal last week. I am overwhelmed by the feedback, and couldn’t be more delighted with the results. It stands as one of my favorite projects to date – I adore creating unique and imaginative…
