I want to go to Greece. And I want there to be candelight glowing from pretty pink lanterns on a table topped with blue and white gingham linens. I want there to be laughter and running about the surf barefoot and the hazy mist of twilight all around. Because to me, today, this looks a …
As we continue our adventures in house hunting, I’ve found myself reading an increasing number of interior design, nesting and renovation-themed blogs, included the ever-inspiring Young House Love. Sherry and John are more talented than I can express and I completely love their style, making it no big surprise that I loved reading all about …
