It could be HGTV or Magnolia, but who needs a network to make dreams come true?

Yes, we are home. There are no words, only tears and gratitude.

Do you ever feel unworthy of what you see in front of your eyes? That’s us. Although we know we have paid for everything, feeling worthy of such classic design seems a little overwhelming.

On September 14, 2023, we walked into our back door and our eyes exploded. From the kitchen to the wood stove to the bookcase to the master bath to the deck to the office . . . and it kept coming. The little things - the photos intermingled with the books, the little oddities we had packed up over a year ago in Athens, the care to highlight what we loved and what brought us here - made this experience so much more meaningful. We do realize it’s only a house, only stuff (however much less stuff) that lives inside, but it’s our home, our refuge, our runaway place. Strip the house of the contents, and the walls still make us feel loved.

Thanks to Saving Time Design for creating a timeless home.
