About Me

I grew up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia where I also attended college and met the love of my life. I lived in NYC for five years with my husband and Westie, Mack Brown before recently moving all the way across the country to Los Angeles. I'm an amateur chef, total foodie, lover of Westies, sports fanatic and self-proclaimed book worm. You'll find a little bit of all these things I love on this blog. And...most importantly, I'm a new mom to the most precious baby boy, Austn Robert, born this past October.

Project: Patio

We FINALLY decided to tackle our outdoor patio this weekend.  Since it's covered (and it hardly ever rains in Southern California), we've been using it for extra storage in lieu of paying each month for a storage unit.  But, we've had big plans for the patio (which didn't include boxes and dust and grime), so it was time for the boxes to go and for our patio to become a little more functional.

Here's what it looked liked before we started.



Horrible, right?

First step: Clean off the boxes and take to storage.


Check.

Second step: CLEAN!


Check.

Third step: Assemble and arrange furniture.


Check.

Fourth step: Decorate.  With Lanterns.  LOVE these lanterns.




Last but not least: Strike up the grill and enjoy our first of many meals on our newly repurposed patio.  In December.  I love the weather here.


Simple.  Clean.  Functional.  And perfect for a game of Beirut or two :)
