Design

As much as I love our new home, it didn’t have everything on our wish list. Our realtor told us if you can find a house with 50% of what you want, you’re doing good. I think we did better than that! Design wise, there’s a lot I want to change (are you really surprised??).  […]

Dining room table decorated with paper Christmas trees showing the family Christmas tree in the distant room.

This is probably the most I’ve ever decorated our home for Christmas thanks to a Tour of Homes I participated in as part of the Officer Spouses Club here on Camp Lejeune. Our home was fully decked out in lights and tinsel by the first weekend in December! It was a lot of work, but […]
