We have been in a heavy season these last few months. Four kids six and under, a pregnancy that has been the hardest on my body yet, and a mysterious illness my husband has been dealing with since early fall. I was overwhelmed, sad, and scared. I stopped opening my Bible. I stopped doing my devotional. I could not get anything out of Mass. I told myself it was because of the kids and the constant disruption, but really it was my hardened heart. While my husband was in the hos

These sourdough blueberry muffins are soft, tender, and lightly sweet with just the right amount of tang from sourdough discard. They’re the kind of muffin that feels just as at home on a slow morning with coffee as they do packed into lunchboxes or served warm straight from the oven. Made with simple pantry staples and no complicated steps, this recipe is my favorite way to use up extra sourdough discard while making my mornings with the kids a little easier! The high baking

Nestled high above the Tennessee valley, the main bedroom of this modern cabin was designed as a calm escape — a place where soft textures, natural light, and thoughtful details come together to create an effortless sense of rest. Design Overview The space combines classic cabin warmth with a fresh, modern sensibility. A pale pine wall and a soaring vaulted ceiling frame sweeping views through a wall of black-trimmed windows.

A Quiet Retreat Among the Rafters Tucked beneath the pitched roofline, the loft of this studio cabin was designed as a sanctuary—a quiet pause in the rhythm of mountain mornings and fire-lit evenings. Natural plank ceilings slope low, wrapping the space in warmth. Muted sage walls bring a gentle hush, echoing the misty hills just beyond the glass. The pink glass sconces, reminiscent of carnival glass, provides a soft glow at night. A plush dusty blue sectional stretches acros

When I first visited the ridge, this cabin was still in the framing stage— but I knew given the small footprint & placement off the entry the kitchen needed to be as functional as it was inviting. My goal was to create a space that felt charming and collected with a little bit of whimsy. The Heart of the Studio Because the cabin is compact, every inch had to work hard — visually and practically. The layout keeps the kitchen open to the main living space, allowing guests to co

A Modern Cabin Bathroom with Soul Designing this bathroom for a client’s Airbnb cabin was all about balance — pairing the comfort of a cozy mountain stay with the fresh, uplifting feel of modern design. The goal: create a space that feels instantly relaxing, while still memorable enough to stand out in a guest’s travel experience. The centerpiece of the room is the striped shower wall, where alternating blue and white tiles create height, rhythm, and visual movement. The vert
