Why did you start the blog?
I moved to the country with my family about 10 years ago from Dallas, TX. We bought the farmhouse and renovated it inside and out. I got lonely, started a blog and then wrote a book.
And now?
We’ve jumped back to the house I grew up in.
All that.
In that exact order. It’s been an incredible journey and I can’t wait to see what the next chapters hold. Literally.
Where do you live?
We live in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex. Go to Dallas and head north. If you get to Oklahoma you’ve gone too far.
How do I find where to buy things in your house.
I love to talk about shopping the side of the road.
And fleamarkets.
But occasionally I find really amazing stuff at really amazing prices at really amazing stores.

You can also see how to choose paint colors for the entire house.

What camera do you use?
I use a Canon 70-d and a tripod. You can see some of my photography tips here and here and here.
And this is my favorite lens on the planet here.
Oh wait.
I kind of like this one, too.
