Happy Monday friends!! I hope you had a great weekend. We certainly did despite all the rain. I wanted to share a delicious and quick recipe that we made on Friday night. Ryan, my husband, texted me in route from Miami and asked if I would get shrimp. I texted back laughing saying just left the store and actually just bought some. He sent me the following recipe, and ironically, I had just bought half of the ingredients as well. So, when he finally got home he showed me that he actually found the recipe in Charleston Magazine. It's quick and easy

I am super excited to introduce my first guest on my new series, "Guess who's dropping in for coffee?" Meet Laurie Cooper of Charleston Revisions. She owns my favorite mid-century store in Charleston. Laurie always introduced me to people as her "first customer". It makes us chuckle when we share our story.

With 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, it also has an extra "bonus" room (a.k.a. the Man's Cave). I also enjoy the colors chosen by the homeowners for the walls and cabinetry. It just looks so fresh and inviting. Priced nicely

This is such a surreal moment for me. I really cannot believe I'm finished and am no longer going to write weekly posts about my guest bedroom. It's bittersweet! I'm so glad I stumbled across this challenge and thank you to Linda at Calling it Home for creating such a a great event! Well, here you can see where it all started, week 1-5. But enough for the delay, here it is, drumroll please

I don't know about y'all but my porch is begging for me to give it a good pressure washing so that we can enjoy family time on it again. I can't believe I'm about to tell you what I did, but I am. We sold our custom sectional. Yes, as in the one below. Last spring my husband decided to give our porch a major cleaning and removed all the furniture outside. He left it in the rain and it took the paint off and messed up the sectional. So, this spring, he was about to do the same
