My house is FILLED with art by local Charleston artists. One of my newer pieces is this 3 panel palm print in our master bedroom by Urban Garden Prints. These prints (and all their botanical prints) are originally harvested and hand-pressed by them!
Read MoreThis is my FAVORITE transformation in the house. Mainly because it was the most extensive renovation we have done so far. We are so happy with how it turned out!
Read MoreIn case you haven’t noticed yet: kitchens built in 1986 were very brown. I think that’s the theme of the “before” of this house. Brown trim, brown cabinets. . . whew. One of the first things I was eager to do to this place was paint those horrible shiny brown cabinets! See what I did. . .
Read MoreWhen I saw this house, my favorite features in the living room were the vaulted ceilings and wood-burning fireplace. Other than that, it needed a 180!
Read MoreOoooooh baby. . . Check out all that brown trim! Can you see why my husband was cringing at this house? Eeeeeek.
Read MoreMy husband TJ and I bought our fixer upper in June 2018 and let me tell you, it’s been a labor of love! I think any homeowner at all (fixer upper or not) can relate. . .
Read MoreReal wreaths (and even the faux ones!) can be quite expensive. Plus, they don’t give off any of that heavenly evergreen scent. I’m here to show you how to make your own for $6 and with only two supplies! Follow the same instructions next year, and it’ll be free :)

Read MoreThis is a tough one, and something I already experimented with a few years ago, and eventually gave up entirely because I didn’t like any of the deodorants I tried. Half the battle of switching to aluminum-free deodorant is picking the right one, and the other half is learning how and when to apply it. I tried again recently and here’s how it’s going and what I recommend.
Read MoreDoes anyone else’s husband microwave food in a tupperware? *CRINGE*. If this doesn’t make you cringe, you need to read on! Either way. . . let me tell you why I threw out all my plastic tupperware!
Read MoreWhen my husband and I first started dating I told him if he’s stuck on a gift to get me for whatever holiday, a candle or massage (or both) will do. I LOVE candles. Unfortunately in the process of this detox project I have discovered that all the fragrances in my beloved candles (balsam and cedar, clean cotton. . . if you know, you know) are made up of many toxins. *sigh* But don’t worry, I have solutions for us!
Read MoreI have a confession. I’m on my phone over 8 hours a day. Granted, I run a business from my phone, but no doubt that is a lot. Often I wonder what kind of long-term damage from the radiation I may be doing to my eyes, skin, cells etc.
