  • Design Scouting

    I love these windows.  They remind me of the nursery in Peter Pan, where Wendy opens the way for Peter and Tinker Bell to lead them all to Never Never Land.  Beautiful! Image via here.

  • Simple Ways to add Charm to your Home

    When Mr. Marvelous and I were first married we had a short-term lease on an apartment while we started house hunting. We found and fell in love with this darling little cape code style house in a historic district that was built about 1930. I can still remember how excited we were when we wrote…

It makes me happy.   It happens to be sitting on an antique side table that my dad picked…

  • Where We’ve Been

    Apologies for the long and silent absence.  Can we still be friends?  Mr. Marvelous, Wynnbaby and I had a lovely little pre-Christmas getaway to this delicious resort. It was absolutely incredible and I recommend it highly.  The trip was to attend a family wedding but we had plenty of family down-time too and I just…
