Feature shoot of the “Besaw Home” in Lynchburg Living Magazine!

Feature shoot of the “Besaw Home” in Lynchburg Living Magazine!

We all know I’m a sucker for anything renovation, construction, and design.  So while I was in college and looking for a job, I got an itch to be back in the intoxicating trenches of construction and design.  I’d grown up watching my Dad and Grandpa build and renovate houses, and I was absolutely captured by the incredible transformation of renovation.

The Cape Cod Project Bath Reveal

The Cape Cod Project Bath Reveal

My love affair with classic tile, bead board, and marble continues! The cape cod’s upper bath is finally finished.  Like 100% finished.  Okay, maybe 95%.  In all reality, we made it about 75% of the way six months ago and then lost our bathroom-finishing steam.  But this week . . . this week that upper bath made […]

Buyers remember a laundry room with a chandelier!

Buyers remember a laundry room with a chandelier!

A couple selling their home just asked my advice for how to get their home ready for the real estate market.  A whole rambling of advice came to mind: “fresh, neutral paint” and “depersonalize” and “finish those pesky lingering projects” and  “declutter, declutter, declutter.”  But most sellers, including the ones asking the question, had heard all that […]

A Story & the Stone Cottage Bath Reveal!

A Story & the Stone Cottage Bath Reveal!

I grew up renovating houses with my parents.  I can remember at five years old running to get tools for my dad — I call him Papa — as he built our family home. I’m a girl who knows the difference between a socket wrench, an allen wrench, and a pipe wrench. A miter saw, a hack […]

Maximizing a Lake View: Colorful Deck Design

I can’t get enough of these lake views!  When you have views like these, they are certainly meant to be enjoyed.  But the Lakeview homeowners weren’t enjoying their deck.  It lacked the sense of life and comfort and personality that they longed for.  As the homeowner said, “It needs something, but we just don’t know […]
