Swivel Chair Love

Hey Dear Friends! I had to share a new purchase I found with you all because it's a deal and a really great chair! (No, I'm not getting paid to say this!) Swivel chairs are just so fun and on trend, but they can be expensive. I always check out what Studio McGee is doing before heading to any

Instagram

Hi Friends! Are we surviving February? It's pretty cold and brutal here on the East Coast. I definitely suffer from the winter blues and try to keep creative to get through. I wanted to see if you all were following Blue Egg Brown Nest on Instagram because things have changed and continue to

Got Film?

So...I'm old and that means my wedding photos were all given to me by my photographer in a big old box of FILM! Of course I printed out a book of photos and some to frame and hang, but what about all those candid shots and dear moments? I needed to put them into digital photos for myself and

Happy Holidays or just…holidays.

Happy Holidays, Friends. And I can't help but say that if it's not a happy holiday for you then that's okay. It can just be a holiday and one that you will get through. Life will return to normal and all the the gifts, family, marketing, gathering, socializing will soon be over. The holidays are

Serene Marshland

Hello, Dear Friends. How is everyone handling the holidays? Just a reminder - it's okay to not be okay. I feel tremors in my body because of the overwhelm, expectations and need to please. You'd think I'd be over these burdens now that I'm old, but it's still written in my muscle memory. I'm working

Egret Love

Working on my egrets. There is something so ethereal about these birds and I can't help but let my mouth hang open every time I spy one in the wild. You can shop my oil paintings on my Etsy shop or at Urban Farmhouse. I also have lots of marshlands...dreamy. Landscape

Faux Decor Tree & Plant decor

Not all faux decor trees are created equally. I love green in any space. I think I have a live plant or faux plant in about every room. I think it satisfies something in me regarding nature coming into the home. I bought lots of faux trees and plants for my getaway cabin and hands down the best

Marshland

Sometimes you just need to escape...everything. I have always needed a respite - a little place to bury myself and have some quiet time. I think about Julie Gottman from The Gottman Institute, the couple-therapist gurus, who told her husband it was really important for her to have a little cabin in

Oil Painting Love

I've love the oil painting classes I've been a part of for the past few years. I'm particularly fond of painting marshland. I try to paint using colors that I want in my home. You can probably tell :) I have sold my paintings in small local shops and am also selling on Etsy. Check here for my

Apple picking, Lucketts and More Fosters

Hi Friends! How was your long Labor Day weekend? I have 3 teenagers in my house and I never know if they are going to want to hang out as a family or not. Either way, I planned a few fall activities and surprisingly, they loved it! Yes, Brent had shoulder surgery, but he will never say no to

Candles, Koi and The It Girl

Brent's birthday, his koi ponds and what I'm reading! I popped into Anthropologie over the weekend and found the pretties candles! I think the casted ones are so cool. It was also Brent's bday so we did what he wanted to do which was go to Merrifield Garden Center to get some plants for his

Blue & White & Blue & White

Hi Friends! What are your thoughts on blue and white porcelain or the like decor? I think it can be stunning! I also wonder if you need a lot of it to look stunning. Do you find it super traditional? Or transitional? Can the reproductions look classy? I honestly don't know how I feel about

Hi Friends!

Hi Friends! How is summer going? My family - Brent and the three kids you've watched grow up through the years - are enjoying our time together. Yes, they are all teenagers so it's taking a bit of patience, but when we are a team on vacay, we love being together! Here are a few summer

Luckett’s Pix

Hi! Circling back about the Luckett's Spring Market a few weeks ago. It was so much fun per usual! If you have not been to the market, it is worth a road trip with your friends. Bring your wagons, totes and empty cars to fill. They make it super easy to buy and move furniture so don't worry about
