What does 2020 bring to you? I have been pondering this question/idea since December of last year ( sounds like so long ago). In many ways I am still so unsure. But I have a feeling deep inside of me that good change is around the corner. That's why I've given my year the title: … Continue reading THE YEAR OF IM(POSSIBILITIES)
Christmas Dining Room 2020
It all started with a trip to the Raleigh flea market in the early fall. I saw these winter church scenes and knew I wanted them to be the inspiration for my dining rom decor this Christmas/winter.

Creating a Space you Love – Theresaโs tips

It was wonderful and crazy at the same time (thank God for my in-laws, couldn't have done it without them). We had absolutely no money. My aunt gave us our first … Continue reading Creating a Space you Love – Theresaโs tips
