My Furry Valentine

I love dogs, I love cats, don’t get me started, I love all animals.  No joke, I turn into a blubbering fool every time I see a furry angel no matter where I am. Add on my baby voice and disregard how silly I sound, I simply can’t help myself.  It’s a problem, I admit, but…

J and J Home Design & Staging

Although we love how HGTV has educated home sellers on how to de-clutter, amplify their curb appeal and prepare their home for optimal market position – sometimes that isn’t always as easy as it looks.

Sycamore Mineral Springs and Spa in Avila Beach

Being in my profession, you learn a great deal about amenities and upgrades in a home and their true value. Meaning, no matter what the price, if you don’t use it, it was too expensive. My parents’ trash compactor is just such an item …. a hot ticket in the 80s and 90s featured in…
