Good morning! I'm excited to introduce another amazing guest to my "Guess who's dropping in for coffee" series. I had the pleasure of meeting Julianne Taylor of Taylor Burke Home at The Southern Coterie Summit this year. She told me about her boutique furniture company and that her studio was located in Mount Pleasant, SC. What?!!??! I live in Mount Pleasant, and I had no clue! So, after a fun lunch when I learned so much about this amazing woman, she allowed me to come over, interview her and snap some photos of her beautiful pieces. So, grab a cup

Remember the other day how I mentioned I may have gotten a little spray paint happy? Well, here's another project that I worked on. This one has been on my to do list for 6 months and I wish I had a reason or excuse why it took me so long to do this easy project but I don't. First, find inexpensive glass vases. Hobby Lobby from time to time will have 50% off glass vases and you cannot forget the trusty Dollar tree which is where I got the vase I used. Then I used painters tape

I discovered Celine and her amazing blog Aquahaus during the One Room Challenge. Instant love for her awesome style and fabulous Austin, Texas, life. When she agreed to join me in my "Guess who's dropping in for coffee" series, I was stoked. I was even more in awe and excited when I read her answers below. She kinda rocks! So, grab your morning cup of joe - or whatever you choose - and join me for a good read! Q. You're in the medical field? What do you do? I'm an oncologist (cancer doctor). I treat patients with cancer, primarily breast cancer. Q.

So, this past weekend, I may have gone overboard a little with my gold spray paint. I was just in the mood to paint something so I did! I actually surprised myself with how much I ended up liking my last minute, wing it, DIY project. Come check it out! First, Let's talk about the DIY planter that I attempted to create. I began with a flower pot from lowe's, some gold and white spray paint. I began by spraying the container white. I then used painters tape to cover the planter to spray the lip and the bottom.

It's time to meet Roxy Te! I met this little, butt kicking, full of energy (y'all thought I had a lot of energy she runs laps around me) amazing woman at an event here in Charleston! She happens to be the brilliant designer behind Society Social. If you haven't heard of her line before (where have you been!?!), swing by Charleston Revisions where you can see many of their pieces. Grab a cup or two and find out more about Roxy! Here's my Q&A with her: I'm in love with your new arrivals. Do you have a favorite? It's always so

Happy Monday friends!! I hope you had a great weekend. We certainly did despite all the rain. I wanted to share a delicious and quick recipe that we made on Friday night. Ryan, my husband, texted me in route from Miami and asked if I would get shrimp. I texted back laughing saying just left the store and actually just bought some. He sent me the following recipe, and ironically, I had just bought half of the ingredients as well. So, when he finally got home he showed me that he actually found the recipe in Charleston Magazine. It's quick and easy

I am super excited to introduce my first guest on my new series, "Guess who's dropping in for coffee?" Meet Laurie Cooper of Charleston Revisions. She owns my favorite mid-century store in Charleston. Laurie always introduced me to people as her "first customer". It makes us chuckle when we share our story. I found Laurie when I discovered Annie Sloan Chalk paint in a store in Greenville, SC. I asked the owner if it was carried in Charleston, and she said someone was going to start selling it soon; here's her number. So, I called, and she and I
