This year we're taking a dedicated approach to our YouTube channel to showcase the effort and craftsmanship that goes into our custom builds.

It would mean THE WORLD to us if you took just a moment to click on our video and subscribe to our channel.

We promise not to disappoint.

This first video showcases something we're VERY proud of - Our very own Shop Cart, complete with custom orange and teal paint job, 8" lift kit, custom overland bumper configuration... These details are just the start, there's so much more that goes into it.

The first comment will have the video link. We appreciate each and every one of you and can't say thank you enough!

2026 is starting off with a bang and we're racing to get you the next video ASAP!

We’ve done a lot of work over the last year including renovating Marigold Cottage behind The Yellow House. We have a long way to go. When you’re in a long haul renovation, it often feels like for every step forward you take two steps back. We’ve had many delays - some for good reasons and some not so much. Either way, we keep it moving. From our house to yours, we pray you have a Merry Christmas! May this year be richly blessed and filled with peace.

Time flies when you’re having fun, and also when you’re under construction. And sometimes it feels like time drags on forever! Renovation is not for the weak willed or the faint of heart! Sometimes we have to take heart in the little accomplishments along the way and trust that we will get there. Today, I added some art work to my gallery wall, hung a mirror I found for the kitchen and decorated for fall, and created a gallery wall in the kitchen. I love art and have been both a thrifting collector and a collector of friends’ art for years. I mostly collect local scenes and artists, but also pieces that represent places we’ve travelled. I love churches, barns, and beautiful architecture. It takes years to build a house into a home and adding art makes it home to me.

I’m loving this tile in the kitchen in Marigold Cottage!

Marigold Cottage is coming along! It always seems that things have to get worse before they get better! Plumbing is done, painting is done (pending some touch up), and electrical is almost done. Louis is on countertops and kitchen sink with tile pending. The yard is coming together as well.

More work on the cottage today - mostly outside. Marigold needed some more pruning on the landscaping and we moved some of the monkey grass to the back yard to start a border for the flower beds.

New project alert! “Marigold Cottage” circa 1949 renovation has begun! We started work on the cottage out back to renovate it for my mom to move into! New electrical, plumbing, paint, and kitchen update are all underway. We started about a month ago and then took a break to go to Portugal. Pictures coming soon for before and after! Stay tuned….

Spring has definitely sprung at the Yellow House! We are enjoying all the old faithful plants that have been here for many years and we welcome back our new additions. Louis also brought to life a little project in the front yard.
There are a few lone daffodils that come up every year and I wanted to save them. We added a little bed around them including a pink dogwood so they wouldn't be lonely.
This little old lady house brings me so much joy (even though years of renovation are frustrating!).
We are also renovating the cottage in the back yard now. She's called "Marigold Cottage."
Built originally as an art studio for the famous Pruett Carter by his sister in the 1950s, he unfortunately did not live to move here. I want to bring her back to life and she will become the home for my 94 year old mother soon.
Stay tuned. Spring brings all sorts of promises and renewed hope.
