Travel is the best inspiration. In design, of course, but especially in life.

To experience different cultures.
To see different struggles.
To laugh with strangers.

To share photos of teenage sons. No common language necessary, the joint feeling of love and pride carry the moment.

It softens the soul.

Be kind.
Smile.
Say hello.

We are all after the same thing.

Well … it’s been a helluva couple of years. Th

Well … it’s been a helluva couple of years. The Covid years as these will historically be known. I have other words for these years but I suspect the gram won’t show you my post if I use them.

Our lives have been filled with loss, gratitude, family, friends, fear, illness, crushing anxiety, elation and countless sleepless nights.

We’ve lost friends and family both to covid and cancer and paradoxically have also spent some of the most wonderful days with friends and family as we rediscovered what matters most to us.

We’ve learned how very special each day is. We’ve learned to take risks. We’ve learned that life is precarious at best. We’ve learned to slow down and take time for what is most important to us. We are trying to cling to that as the world gets back to it’s usual speed.

We’ve learned what it takes for a married couple to create and grow a business together. It ain’t for the faint at heart.

We’ve learned what it means to have all of you cheer on our dream. THANK YOU. Your support, comments, likes, questions, story replies, responses to polls ALL OF IT mean everything to us.

We hope the photos of our builds bring you inspiration and joy and the recipes bring you moments with those you love gathered ‘round a table.

We look forward to doing 2022 with you!

We will be redoing our own house. AND … we’ve strategically planned the build with several DIYs in each room so we can show you how you can do the same in your own home.

We are releasing a Home Remodeling Manual. lt’s a step-by-step, room by room, detailed guide with a glossary, contractor breakdown and everything you need to know to successfully manage your own remodel.

And of course new recipes!

Wishing you all a fabulous 2022 filled with health, love and a home that fills your heart with joy.

This is my favorite way to display the Christmas cards we get. Some twine and clothespins do the trick. I love seeing all the cards as I come and go each day!

Do you display the cards you get? If so, what is your trick?

We are jolly AF over here getting ready for Christ

We are jolly AF over here getting ready for Christmas!

It’s taken me almost three weeks to get the house decorated but it’s finally done! Photos will be on the blog later this week. If ya like that kind of thing.

Next up? Wrapping. I have a love/hate with wrapping. The perfectionist in me makes the process WAY longer and far more tedious than it needs to be. I threaten to hire someone to do it every year, but the perfectionist in me …

What is your wrapping style?

Are you a “matching wrapping paper and decorate each gift with pretty bows and holly after it’s wrapped” kind of person or a “throw some paper and slap some tape on it they are just going to rip it off anyway” kind of person?

Looking for an easy weeknight fall dinner?

This white bean chicken chili is full of all the fabulous flavors of regular chili, but lighter!

Chicken, white beans, corn and green chiles. Yes please! You can spice it up or down depending on who you are cooking for!

Garnish with cheddar cheese, avocado and sour cream.

Serve with a yummy fall salad and cornbread and you have the perfect easy weeknight meal. AND some serious comfort food.

Prefer a regular style chili? I’ll have that up for you Thursday!

Are you a lighter, white bean and chicken chili kind of persona or a give me all the tomatoes, kidney beans and meat kind of person?

Screenshot the ingredient list in my story to make the grocery store easy!

Recipe at StefanieMullen under soups and salad.

Obsessed is a word thrown around a lot right now in the design space. Overused for sure.

Don't care ... I am obsessed and will ALWAYS be with crisp white ceilings and wood beams. OBSESSED.

What is your current design obsession. Don't forget to use the word obsessed when you tell me!
