Most Frequently Asked Questions About Our Home Decor

Today I’m tackling the top questions I get regarding my home.

Maybe these questions are something you’ve been wondering as well, as some of them are quite broad, while others are very specific.

(For more general questions about blogging, you can find my tips and resource page here!)

The top home interior design questions:

1. What material are you’re kitchen counter tops? Are they marble? How well will this wear over time?

ANSWER: Yes, the counter tops are marble. They’re white Statuario Altisimo marble and the edges are mitered (built up) to create a thicker visual look.

As a result, (I think) there are some chips and dings on some of the edges which does bother me a bit.

However, I don’t regret the decision to go with the marble.

At some point I plan on repairing the chips. I’m also trying to be a bit more careful when using heavy pots and pans.

There’s also some uneven staining from either lemon juice or vinegar.

This doesn’t bother me at all.

The short answer is yes, for an expensive finish they don’t wear as well as other stones or counter tops.

Because I love the look, I would choose it all over again!

An Interview With The Author Of Slightly South Of Simple

My blogging friend, Kristy Woodson Harvey is at it again!

Kristy has just released her third book, Slightly South of Simple.

I’ve just started reading my copy which Kristy was kind enough to send me and I’m already hooked!

Kristy writes about families and generations of Southern women.

Since I know Kristy from the design blogging world (she blogs at Design Chic) I thought it would be fun to get to know Kristy a bit better, so I asked her a few questions in the hopes that Kristy would share some of her Southern style and personality here today.

Updating My Daughter’s Room

Back in 2014, I updated my middle daughter’s room from a little girl’s room to a more grown up tween girl’s room. Shortly after making those changes we ended up moving to our house here in Connecticut. In her new room, as per her directions, we went with Benjamin Moore’s Decorator White on her walls and kept the windows very minimal with only white horizontal blinds. We added this fun mod bubble chair last year. I love how the room looks, but my daughter, who will be turning 15 this month (can’t handle it) has asked to make a few updates.
