So here's the thing...there are a lot of different things I love in life. Design is one of the tops, and I mean all of it...interiors, fashion, parties, color, graphics, photos, fonts; some days it is definitely sensory overload in my world. I can easily spend hours looking through what my wonderful husband terms "house porn", drooling over gorgeous interiors and gardens either online or in my collection of design mags (oh Domino, I miss you!)
I'm also a huge fan of food...and as luck would have it, both sides of my family had developed a strong culinary gene by the time I came along. My dad's family is English and German, and my mother's family is from the South. I've learned everything from Scottish shortbread to southern Chicken and Dumplings. I think I love food so much because it's a never-ending adventure - I will never in my lifetime taste every recipe written, but I sure do love trying.
And then there's the idea of home. And the idea that everyone should have their own "mansion"...a place that they love and make their own, whether it's big or small, fancy or plain. Home for me is ever-changing, thanks to an endless supply of much-needed house projects, but no matter what it looks like it's mine. It's about making what you have exactly what you want and need, and loving the process.
