Yesterday was Friday the 13th and as I was getting ready to create a new blog post, my laptop crashed and burned! It made a loud pop and died. Permanently. So I ran to Best Buy to get a new laptop which left me with no time to create a new post. So I’m re-publishing…

Some people think that fall is the end of gardening season. But I think fall is the best season to enjoy gardens. The earth is so full of color this time of year and weeds are no longer prolific. Today is the first Saturday of the month and that means it’s time to join…

Today’s home tour has a special place in my heart because this modern farmhouse is where we stayed during our recent vacation to Door County in Wisconsin.

Am I becoming one of those annoying people who keep showing pictures of their vacation? I did take a lot of pictures when vacationing in Door County and think you’ll enjoy seeing this place called Bearded Heart Coffee in Baileys Harbor that we patronized almost every morning.

When considering all types of home styles, I think the Victorian home exterior is probably the most ornate and intricate. Common features include towers, turrets, dormers, and wide wrap-around porches. All of which you’ll see in these gorgeous homes with off-the-chart curb appeal! Photo by David Heide Design Studio Victorian style evolved from the…
