In the beginning…there was this treed huge corner lot that we fell in love with.
An Outdoor Living Space and Moving Towards a Dream
We have been in our home for over 15 years. Our home was only a year old when we moved in and had all the boring vanilla builder finishes you would expect, including a minuscule 12x12 aggregate concrete backyard patio. The home only had one prior owner who’s ideas of landscaping was to bark chip half of the backyard and put up a play structure.
The Three Bears – “Warhol” Style
Little House in the Big Woods - Half Pint Updates the Bedroom
As a child growing up in Southern California, when most kids were busy skateboarding, going to the beach or hanging up Keith Partridge posters in their bedroom, you could most likely find me re-reading a Little House book and obsessing about all things Laura Ingalls Wilder. I was the girl that actually belonged to the Laura Ingalls Wilder fan club at the local library.
Sentimental Chalk Paint Journey
Once upon a time there was a china closet that was the centerpiece in my parents living room. For 20 years it took center stage in all of its white wash oak glory. Mom had it filled with her Dutch Delft collection, Italian Capodimonte flowers and crystal and more crystal. Each collectible had a story and Mom would love to share the history of each and every piece.
Prepping for Sunriver
his last week I have been gathering all the new decor items for my master bedroom makeover and laid everything out on my dining room table. I had a real struggle landing on the lamps I wanted for the bedside table. I absolutely loved the glass bottle lamp with the woven grass shade but I am pretty sure it's going to be much too large for the bedside tables.
Bend Vacation Home
Last year my husband and I realized one of our dreams and purchased this vacation home in Sunriver, Oregon. Sunriver is actually a vacation resort (near Bend) located in the foothills of the Cascade mountain range along the Deschutes river in Central Oregon. Unlike other areas of Oregon, Sunriver gets 300 days of sunshine a year and is an outdoor lovers paradise.
