Our daughter loves Christmas decorations. Like, REALLY loves them. Around November she starts asking when the decorations will be up in our house, the restaurants we visit, the neighborhoods on our routes. Ah, the neighborhood entrances. We moved into a neighborhood without an HOA about 7 years ago. So, we've listened to her for the last 6 years talk about how sad it is that our neighborhood ... read more
Westhaven Property Updated to Sell
If I'm being totally honest, my dream job would be to flip houses. Buying undervalued, out of date homes and turning them around for a profit. Since real estate prices are REALLY strong in our area- Franklin TN and the bargains are few and far between, I'm doing the next best thing. I've teamed up with my life long friend and realtor, Kelly Dougherty to help her fix up her listings to bring the ... read more

Our clients can borrow sugar from neighbors Alan Jackson, Justin Timberlake and Oprah's dad. One thing all ... read more

Take Down that Wall- Kitchen Before and After
I have the coolest kitchen remodel to share with you today. It's the first time we've taken down a wall in a kitchen update. I'm feeling very Chip and Joanna on this one.

In addition, ... read more
Not Quite Right Kitchen Island- Before and After
I have a great before and after to share with you today. This client was the sister of some lifelong friends. She and her family recently moved into their new home, but weren't in love with the kitchen. The kitchen had lots of great things going for it, like tons of beautiful quality cabinets, a generous foot print, and updated appliances. There were a few odd things though ... read more
