I’ve been struggling with posts lately since I can’t travel and there are only a few places I can visit in New York. It’s hard to keep going when inspiration is in short supply, especially for design posts. So I’ve decided to go through my camera roll and try to post some historic houses from […]

Just a quick note to let you know that I’m visiting Charleston this weekend. My friend and I walked over seven miles yesterday exploring the city and have loved every minute so far. I’m also really enjoying the Planter’s Inn where I am staying. The Ultimate Coconut Cake from their restaurant, The Peninsula Grill, really […]
