We’re Renovating Our Home!!! Before Pictures and Renovation Plans

I can FINALLY share with y’all that we are renovating our beloved historic Charleston Single house!!! EEEK!!! For the Last Twelve Months… Believe it or not, David and I have been planning this renovation for the past 12 months behind the scenes!  We closed on our house last spring and that July, a full year ago, we flew back to Charleston for a week in-between tenants.  We ‘glamped’ in our house on an air mattress, painted a few rooms, did some other minor touchups, and met with a ton of building trades to prep for a renovation in 2020.  We […]

A Quarantine Date Night at Home: Dining al Fresco

I wanted to share the easiest and most fun date night, right in the comforts of your home!  While we’re all quarantined at home for the foreseeable future, and while the sun shine is tempting us and the warm breeze floats by, I decided to have a little impromptu date night at home by dining al fresco!  It was so simple and easy to implement, and we had so. much. fun. We originally wanted to walk to the Karlshöhe this evening, but also wanted to make a homemade pizza and I figured it would be too hard to transport a […]

My Fall Tablescape

I always love decorating my dining table with the seasons, but fall and winter have me decorating it the best!  I wanted to share how I make my fall tablescape in case anyone else wants some ideas for the upcoming holidays, or every day!

My House Plants and a Peek into our Stuttgart Home

Since purchasing our first home in April (spoiler: it’s in Charleston SC but we still live in Stuttgart Germany), I have become particularly obsessed interested in home interiors.  Both my husband and I have been renting our entire adult lives and I am ready to finally make a space mine.  This past spring while we were under contract for our forever home, we put a hold on our frequent travel and I realized I needed something to take up my mind space: no more planning and booking trips in my free time, homegirl needed something to do. Cue a great hobby […]

We Bought a Home!

Hello friends!  I have some exciting news… Dave and I bought our first HOME!!!! 🙂 We are so incredibly excited but as with everything we do, we seem to do it in not the most traditional fashion (ie, getting married in a hurricane with the entire city shut down… a story for another time!).  We are still living in Stuttgart and we bought in Charleston, our favorite city in the world, where we moved from, and where we will return after our stint in Germany. I admit it is a little odd that we bought while still overseas… but hey, […]
