Granny Ivah’s irises are blooming, the peonies are prepping for their show next week — just in time for Mother’s Day, and the robin has returned to the wisteria at my breakfast window. It’s finally starting to feel like spring is HERE!🌸✨

Hey friends, long time no post! Life has been a little hectic running *ahem* seven social media accounts😳 and a new opera company in DC, but we’re still here, loving this old house life and tackling projects when we can! Here’s a quick recap of what we’ve been up to:

✨ Crafted DIY artificial trees to bring some life to the formal living room.
🎃 Turned the house into Emerald City for Halloween, inspired by the Wicked movie (it’s out now—go watch!).
🔥 Winterized the screened porch with heavy drapes, a propane fire pit, and a daybed—my new favorite spot to unwind.
📸 Snuck in a dining room photoshoot, featuring a little Clue-style mystery (Miss Scarlet with a katana, anyone?).
🎶 Made my Carnegie Hall debut (!!) and came back with some design inspo for the next guest room project.

Life’s busy, but it’s always full of creativity and adventure. What have you been up to?

So many rich dark colors in the rest of the house, but one room is always cheery and bright, my studio! Ready for another full day of students 🎶🩵

The roses fizzled out weeks ago but someone decided to pop up again for a little late summer surprise! 🌷🩷

Another productive weekend tackling the joys of old house life! Spent hours on the road and hauled 80 sheets of insulation—fingers crossed this means a cozy winter ahead. Only a minor heart attack watching the hubby skillfully back the truck under the carport! 🫣
