One man’s trash is another man’s treasure! Found this little trunk on the side of the road. It’s a happy addition to my other bedside trunk!

While trolling historic homes under $50k, I stumbled upon this quaint peach in Grenada, Mississippi. Grenada is one of many faltering small towns rich in history and dotted with fine, old buildings in need of love.

I have seen post after post of “designers” who went all white now incorporating color into their design and they’re all, “can you BELIEVE it?!” And I’m all, “Yes, Brooklyn, I’ve been designing with color for 30 years.”

I loathe trends.

26 years ago, I became a home owner of the cutest little bungalow in an East Dallas neighborhood called "Hollywood Heights". The street was Vivian Avenue. This evening, I stumbled upon the link below - a treasure trove of floor plans of Bungalows. So many of these plans were familiar layouts of homes of friends, homes I was a docent in during a home tour, homes I toured during open houses. I have a very sweet spot for a bungalow. I just had to share with you guys:
