I could live here
7 days ago
I have been following this designer on IG for a while; not even sure how I came upon her. But she posted some pics of her own home today and I swooned. I could move in, and it would be an easy move because she’s only a few towns away. Since the house is almost 5000 SF, who else wants to move in?
An article from a while back.

And some pics from the IG post.
The primary bedroom is a bit too matchy-wallpapery for me, so I’ll sleep here.

Comments (11)Yippee! I am so thrilled your DH liked the cow tags! I have quite a few that I am going to use for decorating with, but I wanted to share some with my GJ buddies. Glad you are going to do something with the glass fish. I couldn't get around to a project for them, but knew someone else could come up with a great idea. The only other thing I see from me is the little blue and green candle holder. I was kinda thinking the center for a plate flower but just didn't have time to make any. I forgot to post my pics of what I got from the box so guess I better do that,too. I know who one of my treasures came from, so it will be cool to see who sent the other ones. You got a great haul, girl. Looks like you will be very busy!! Happy crafting!! blessings-sherri...See MoreOver improving home EVER a good idea?
Comments (40)@ Lizzie; I appreciate you mentioned tax rates. We are in the lowest rate area... in our area anyway (we are a nest of several cities called Hampton Roads). Anyway, it does make more money sense from that standpoint to stay here. So many factors are going into it. I decided on several things which I'll mention in a moment. Hope you like where you moved! @ Helena; SOOOO sorry this happened to you! Timing is everything in real estate for sure. A lot of people got swept up into that market time because they were continually talking about now is the time to buy, they were building more and more and stocks were all around and it was on the financial channels to invest.... and then BOOM. It literally was overnight it all collapsed. We were fortunate to have bought our home just at the beginning of it all, literally on the edge. A couple months later, prices rose and kept rising.. You lost a LOT and I feel sad for you. I hope you are recovering. We did lose half our retirement at that time because they told everyone invest in tech and stock funds in your 401k; yeah right.... To save money on this addition, I am going to do some painting (not all but some), seal the concrete in the storage room, supply the cabinet hardware (have a ton of new ones left over from the kitchen and love them), I'll supply the sconces, bathroom vanities, door hardware, I'm trying to get them to reuse windows (but one contractor said can't do that cause of code); I am directing them where to buy the French doors (I want the ones at Lowes not the expensive ones they want), and I'll be making the closet organizers and buying stock cabinets for the laundry room (they'll be soft closing and wood, but I've worked out the dimensions to get all common sizes-custom is just sizing). I'm also thinking about making my own mudroom coat rack/bench. I'll be making an ironing board hanger thingy and I'll be making robe hook bar for the bathroom. I'm pretty crafty. I'm a REALLY great shopper too. If there is a bargain out there, I will find it. I bought a 700 dollar sink for 320,,,,I will call across the country to see if they have one of something left if I have to. I got a 400 dollar faucet for 120 (yes, everything new in box)! I look daily and stockpile things if I have to. I had glassware, a toaster, can opener, towels and coffee pot stuffed under the beds till my kitchen was done. LOL I heard Lumber Liqudators is moving here and nearest one will be 90 miles away then, so I'm gonna go down and get my 12' counter probably soon and just put it in the garage conversion room we did for a few months! It will save me about 267 dollars doing that in shipping alone. More if they have stuff in store before they move (sale!). Certain things I'll spend a ton on. Towels, bedding etc. I love comfort and quality. But I refuse to buy something for a name. ;) I hope this thread is still here when this is done. i'll learn how to post photos....See MoreI could live here...
Comments (16)Since you can see the metal roofing from inside the house, it would be loud during a heavy rain. I have metal roofing on my barn, the main area is laid over plywood, and is not very loud. The hay area is just metal roofing and you hear the rain very clearly. I looked at their blog and was trying to figure out what part of the country they were located in since there is no insulation if there is just metal roofing ... huge heat loss if in an area that gets cold....See MoreBibliophile's Home
Comments (12)I’ll be the odd man out. If I were such a bibliophile, I’d spend the most money in beautiful furniture in which to display books. At quickie glance, the cases look very Home made; a shame for such a pretty house. you know, Like people who love shoes and have gorgeous closets; or people that love quilting and arrange their fabrics beautifully; or gardeners with their greenhouses. Not everyone, but people with means, such as it seems people who lived here had, S/h invested in nice book casing....See MoreRelated Professionals

Some other portfolio pics (clients’ homes) from her web site. She does use a lot of wallpaper!
I would prefer a more subtle grasscloth here.
Love the vintage (I assume) baskets.

I have two of these in my living room. Are they too contemporary-looking for a printed, pleated shade?
Just realizing I forgot to put the Christmas blankie away with the rest of the holiday stuff…

I’m eyeballing these
I could maybe try a DIY, nothing to lose really if I’m replacing shades anyway. Teeda, was it you who covered your own shade? I remember someone here doing it not long ago.
