Generations

I took Shimmer and Shine on a roadtrip today to visit my Aunt Diane before school starts next week. She lives on Main Street in a quaint little town a few hours away. You won't meet a more wonderful hostess than her, or her late Aunt Doris. Their homes were childhood inspirations of mine... timeless, charming, warm and welcoming.

We stopped by our new home before heading out of town. Inside, drywall being hung in the foyer. Outside, one of my favorite details and something I've always dreamed of -- a beadboard porch ceiling (timeless, charming, warm and welcoming). Looks like Shimmer loves it, too. Like mother, like daughter...
