Do y’all follow along with Holly Williams’ feeds on Instagram? She’s got one called @WhitesMercantile and another called @WhitesRoomAndBoard. In addition to being a fantastic country singer, she fixes up old houses and has such a fun and simple, “farmhouse chic” kind of style. Today, I thought I’d share some photos from some of the houses […]

Hey, y’all! Remember my next-door neighbor Tammy, with the Shrimp n’ Grits recipe? Well, she told me about a place she visited a while back and I just had to share the photos of it here today. Check it out: Is that just the sweetest little house, or what? You can find more photos here: […]
Hi! I stumbled across a home tour online last week, and I just *had* to share it here today in case you haven’t seen it. John and Nancy Davis found their early-1900s farmhouse in McKinney, Texas, they saw the potential right away. Here’s a photo of the exterior before they personalized it… …and here’s what it […]
Sometimes I come across a historic house listing online that is just too unique not to share, and this one is definitely one of those. It’s located in the tiny town of Villisca, Iowa… …which, unfortunately (after a quick Google search) seems like it’s still (after 105 years) best known for the (eight) mysterious and […]
“It’s a special type of person with a special kind of mindset that buys an old house. You’re not there to impose, you are really a steward of the past.” -Kathyrn Holt I see you there, old house… …at the corner of AL-15 and Chunnenuggee in Union Springs. I love your tree-lined street, and (thanks to Google […]
“I’ve always admired women who had a vision and stuck to it. Because ultimately, the way you live has to be a reflection of you.” —Charlotte Moss Remember this photo from my last post? Well, today you just *have* to see the rest of Joanna Madden’s house! She has such a knack for layering and […]
It’s hard to believe it’s already been almost 4 years since I first blogged about Kelley’s Ojai cottage. At the time and her husband had just purchased the place, and they were just starting to fix it up. Here’s a look back at the “before” photo of the exterior… …and here’s how it looks today. […]
“Reminders of beauty and hope and healing should be woven throughout the fabric of our lives, especially in our homes.” Katherine Wolf I’m so glad so many of you enjoyed e-meeting Katherine here last week!

I’m soooo excited to share some more of Ashley’s before and after photos today! You remember my friend Ashley, right? The one who bought this falling-apart (and full of cats!) fixer: Well, she and her hubby are officially done fixing it up! Kevin and I had so much fun taking pictures when we were over there the other […]
The alley behind our house backs up to a cute little area called Bungalow Court. Just through that arbor, there are six adorable bungalows…three on the left, facing three on the right. I’ve always wanted to see the inside of the last one on the right, so I was pumped when I saw an “Open House” sign by […]
He’s home! Kevin had more music business in Michigan last week, and man did I miss him. We don’t spend much time apart, so I felt sort of like I was holding my breath the whole time he was gone. He rolled in at 11 o’clock on Thursday night after driving 14 straight hours (alone) to get home […]
Hi! I want to introduce you to some new friends, today. Meet Jane and Billy Brooks: They’ve been married for 52 years, and they have 3 children, 5 grandchildren, and 3 great grandchildren. In Jane’s words, they “do just about everything together”, and they share a huge passion for creating. They’ve been busy designing, building […]
Hi and happy Monday! I had several folks ask if I would post some pictures of the house I blogged about last week when Ashley finished renovating it (and before she sold it), so I thought I’d post those today. But first, here’s a look back at the kitchen when she bought the house: …and […]
Hi and happy Friday! We’re heading upstairs at the house on Felder Avenue today! When you get to the top of those steps, you’ll find three bedrooms, 2 large bathrooms, and a cozy den. Here’s a peek into the bathroom… I love how big and bright it is! And speaking of light-filled, the bedrooms are […]
