Today I am sharing all the details about my light blue home office. I can't believe the amount of love this space has received on Instagram and Pinterest! When we were designing my office with our interior designer, Erica Bryant, she recommended a light blue paint color called Benjamin Moore Blue Heather and I instantly fell i[...]
When we were designing our home we knew we wanted a shingle style home exterior. We fell in love with the approachable and classic feel of Nantucket, Cape Cod, and Hamptons style homes.

Today I am sharing the exterior plans for our home. Creating the look we wanted for the exterior has been the most challenging part of our home build process so far. To pick one look for our home felt like such a big decision, especially when there are many different styles we both like. When Ben and I sat down to think about what[...]
There have been a lot of exciting things happening behind the scenes with our home build and I have several blog posts planned to share it all! This is my last post discussing the process and then I can't wait to jump into our exterior plans, floor plans, and show you all of the inspiration pictures I have been saving! In my first h[...]
Hi friends! Welcome to the first of many home build blog posts. I decided to start a home build section on the blog that will cover different topics as we go through this process.
