Now that we have a plan in place and have agreed on a budget, it is time to start the serious business of renovating a kitchen.
We are about to start on a couple of major kitchen and bath renovations and it suddenly occurred to me how many people are involved in that process and how overwhelming it could be to someone who doesn’t do it every day. I thought it might help some of you if I simply documented the steps that we go through just to get through the estimate phase. If you can conquer that beast you are good to go.

This will be a two part post so that you don’t fall asleep reading. I will throw in some pretty pictures for good measure.
I am up to my eyeballs right now in another photoshoot (you should see the van!) but wanted to share with you a peek at what’s to come with a future move in.
We have been shopping, shopping, shopping and after months of dreaming and scheming have finally filled in the blanks on many of the rooms for our scheduled March move-in. The following is a snippet of what was ordered last week. I will be writing more and more about this in the following 8 weeks.
After all the wildness of the last month, Jeff planned a super fun date night for this week. We went to Greenville to close on Mama's house (my childhood home) Thursday morning. Now that's a weird experience if you haven't done it yet. So many different emotions are running through you simultaneously. Our sweet realtor is not only a childhood friend...

I good while back I did a series of posts on proportion, scale and balance. Mine started off like this:

I got an email this morning from Style Blueprint about a beautiful home that you might like to visit this month. The 2015 Birmingham Home And Garden Inspiration Home is located just outside of Crestline Village so go do some Christmas Shopping (I can’t believe I am even saying this! How many days???) and tour a pretty home to boot.
The Inspiration Home is located at 102 Calton Lane in Mountain Brook, and is open for tours November 12 through December 6. The home is open Thursday and Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, 1 to 6 p.m. Tickets are $10 and are available for purchase online or at the door.
Thank you to my sweet friend Jean Allsopp for today’s beautiful photography.
We are getting ready to launch a new e-design option for clients near and far and thought we would show you a little make-over magic that is possible today thanks to the awesome strides in technology. I have to tell you that I have been working on learning how to do this for over three years. I know. But I am...
Read MoreAccording to Coastal Living Magazine and Dering Hall, the coastal color trend of the year for 2014 is
drum roll………………..
I am not surprised by that for several reasons that you can probably guess. (Hint, recent projects seen here)
I think it is healthy to always look back at the year that is behind us and reflect on all that we, with the help of all the amazing people God puts in our path, were able to accomplish. I don't know about you but I am hard on myself thinking that I could have/should have done more. Looking back sometimes...

I want to be REMARKABLE at what I do!! That has me so excited I can hardly stand it. Do you ever struggle to explain to others what you...
