If everything had gone according to plan, I’d be in the midst of a packing frenzy, and we’d be picking up the keys to our Georgian Townhouse two weeks from yesterday. Instead, we’ll be sipping martinis on the Mediterranean, which I think is a decent alternative. Now that the dust has settled and we’ve had a chance to regroup, we’re… Continue Reading
The time we almost moved to England…
My last post didn’t tell the whole story of our anniversary trip. It’s true we’d gone to Lincolnshire so that Robert could show me a bit of England outside of London, and it’s true that we fell in love with the place.

I have a similar feeling tonight, for… Continue Reading

It was a project that allowed me to choose the bones and to create a beautiful home from the ground up, on my terms. … Continue Reading
