I’ve been talking to Sherry Swartz of Classic Blinds and Design for quite some time now. We were introduced by Sherry’s web designer and we were finally able to connect at one of her newest projects – a huge Mediterranean-style home with an insanely grand entrance, tall ceilings throughout, a huge kitchen, five bedrooms, and […]

My wonderful client/neighbor/friend, Marci, of Marci Goulart Interior Design, recently completed a gorgeous, light-filled master bedroom and bathroom remodel and I’m in LOVE.  Her clients live on a vineyard in a craftsman style home that was built in 1918.

You know what they say about our lovely planet; it’s a small world. That sentiment gets even stronger in a small town. Living in a small town gives you plenty of opportunities to meet all sorts of people, time and time again. However, it wasn’t until a few months ago that I met the talented […]

Over the past year, I’ve consciously shifted my photography business from portrait photography over to almost all interiors photography. That’s not to say I don’t still love doing portrait sessions, it’s just not my main focus right now. But this time of year, the blossoms are insanely beautiful so I wanted to keep my schedule […]

When I think of the first impression of a home, my mind goes straight to the entryway. Some might think that the front yard is the first impression, and it may very well be to a passerby. Personally though, I believe that to a guest of your home, the entryway is the very first impression. […]

One of my New Year’s resolutions is to blog more, so here I am! This morning I was thinking about how I answer the following question and how the answer has changed over the past year and I thought it would be a great first blog of the year. The question is: “What do you […]
