Random thoughts on a rainy Saturday morning:
1. I cannot thank you enough for all the opinions yesterday. I read each and every one and you all are the BEST. You are so helpful and insightful and help me think of things I never thought of and give me new perspective to look at things from a fresh perspective.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I can’t wait to show you the room when it’s finished.
2. We have a handful of tickets left for the Waco Retreat. I would love to have you join us.
You can read all about it here.
3. I’m writing a decorating column for American Farmhouse Style Magazine. The first column is in the issue that’s on stands now. You can see the magazine here and look for it at a newsstand near you. They also did the nicest feature on my last book, But Where Do I Put the Couch.

KariAnne, Happy Saturday to you! I'm so excited for you being in American Farmhouse Style magazine. I think it's one of the best publications around. Each room makes me want to take everything apart in my house and start over. The link to the English Cottage was so lovely and now I'm trying to convince my husband to make the pedestal DIY for our adult children for Christmas this year. Thanks so much for all the eye candy and gift ideas. xoxoxoxoxo
PS I Love You and Leap Year , come to mind. Always love the links you share on Saturday. Look forward to laundry reveal.
Congratulations on the column! The rom/coms that i loved considering the twins age are classics like Sabrina, the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice, the 1958 version of Aunie Mame with Rosalind Russell, Grease, and I wasn't too into it, but the Princess Bride is classic. Legally blonde is a cute one.
Romantic comedy - my favorites are you ready? here goes.... #1 Pretty Woman followed by Runaway Bride. . Love - how to lose a guy in 10 days and of course Music and lyrics. Let me keep going with sleepless in seattle and of course you've got mail I love that one because I remember that dial up sound like it was yesterday. Sweet Home Alabama fantastic and I can keep going with Notting Hill and What Women Want, So many more because I love a good romantic comedy. Have a great day!
Oh my daughter and I loved BBC Pride and Prejudice with a very young oh blanking on his name... not hugh grant but the other one in bridget jones. my daughter and I binged gilmore girls one summer. Loved it. What is that actor's name.... mr. darcy.... COLIN FIRTH!
