Long Overdue Picture Update

Whew, well, I haven't posted photos since early February, so I made a point to take my camera on a walk today. It is too nice here. I mean it, too nice, too soon. We need more rain, I am afraid that we are going to be a dry as a saltine cracker by June. I can't believe that there are blossoms on the trees already, for a Wyoming girl this is weird. 

The street car construction is still as disruptive as ever, I think I am immune to the sound of a jackhammer by now. The poo part is that it won't be finished by the time we leave, so the remaining months on our beloved Delaware Street are going to be noisy and full of orange cones.

Things have been going in fast forward mode ever since we left for our vacation in late February. Zach has been super busy since his return, and I have been steadily working on commissions and Christmas ornament designs for a company, the days are shooting by. So enough babble babble, here are a few pictures of the Tyrrell clan.

Design Crush: Kathy Ireland



I'm home from a lovely, and much needed vacation. I wish I could have brought the sunshine and warm temperatures with me though. Thank goodness for pinterest and these lovely, happy, warm designs by Katheryn  Ireland...

Swoon: Blackberry Farm

This luxury resort in Walland, Tennessee is something dreams are made of.  Along with the  spectacularly designed cottages, farmhouses and barns, this place also offers cooking classes, fly fishing, horse back riding, hiking and a spa... what more could anyone ever want? It started as a 9- room farmhouse that played host to friends and family. Due to the perfect combination of the Smokey views, farm to table cuisine, and gorgeous interiors, it wasn't long before it expanded into one of the top rated hotel/inns in the United States.

BLACK and white

 From time to time, it makes me happy to drive around and look at gorgeous houses, dreaming and redoing little things in my head. I am partial to the black and white homes, which isn't really a surprise. They always seemed to be the most traditional, and in my opinion they look the most well built as well. Recently, I have been noticing this color combo in reverse, that is, black as the dominant color with white accents. I am not quite prepared to commit to liking it more than the traditional combo, but it is still strikingly beautiful....
