Welcome to my garden on this glorious Summer evening. The roses have gone crazy this year…lush, pink blooms have taken over the porch rail. I am so happy because that was the plan all along. These 2 plants wrapped around the corner and are headed across the porch floor! After the first bloom I will …
I could not believe my ears, or my text message this morning— today is National Pink Day! I wonder what wonderful person came up with a Pink Day? Well, who ever it was, thank you so very much for such a happy day. Here are a few of my favorite pink things. xo♥, Lissy All …
Finally, we are finished! It has been about 4 weeks since we started the living room floor renovation—3 weeks of work and 1 week of organization. Was it worth it…you be the judge. We are over the moon with the results. All of the dust, dirt, sanding, noise, plastic barriers and waiting have culminated in …
It’s House Crush time again. You’ll need to grab a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and a chair for this one—it’s a real stunner! Poplar bark, stone walls, blue and white trim, old mountain charm and a killer view…what more could you ask for. I love the sound of gravel crunching as …

Who decides to install new flooring during a pandemic…ahh, that would be me. It all started when we had wide plank Oak flooring left over from the new Highlands renovation. Yours truly, who is always in renovation mode, decided to use them in the Cashiers house. It seemed like a really great and easy idea. …
The greenhouse pandemic project has been finished and staged to perfection at Camp Boxwoods in Madison, Georgia. Remember the first story here…now the greenhouse of old windows takes its place in this beautiful garden. This working greenhouse sheltered seedlings that have now moved to the surrounding garden.

Today’s House Crush is a real stunner. I have walked by this house in Atlanta many times and always loved it…but this Spring it looks amazing! The planets have all aligned and everything about this house is perfect right now. This photo was taken on a glorious Spring day when the lighting was perfect. This …
