Friends we live in a really special place. The roads are windy, it’s dark and it’s always been a fun place to Trick or Treat but, it got a whole lot funner when we sold my parents home to Marc and Andrea and they went to work - making it one of the scariest and coolest Halloween displays in the area.

While not a typical Haunted House it is very much a scene and the trick or treaters must walk past all the frightening ghouls and goblins to get their treat on the porch. The display you see is from 2019. These wonderful friends had planned to move pre-covid and sold off all the decorations after Halloween last year. They brought much joy to so many for 22 yrs! We were thrilled our son was finally able to face his fears and walk up to the door.

Halloween came to America in the 1840s with Irish immigrants.
First citywide Halloween was in Anoka, Minnesota, 1921.

We WILL be out Trick or Treating and handing out candy with masks this Saturday. We wish you all a spooktacularly bootiful Halloween!

Til next time!

Recently while I was typing away on my laptop my son asked me - “Mom what’s your favorite Blog you ever wrote?” I of course answered by saying “Well, sweetie pie I could never pick a single one.” He came right back and said “Ok so your top three!”

So friends this week I’m sharing my top 3 favorite pieces.

Tudor Admiration: This piece combines my love of Architecture and my love of personal history. My family home growing up is the beautiful Tudor shown in the center. This home (which is a few blocks from the Chalet) absolutely shaped my love of this architectural design. (12/6/2017)

Artistic Artery: The transformation of our Hallway. (5/1/2019)

Seeing Red: The images are beautiful and so inspiring. I loved gathering them and it was so fun researching the color - the names of all the hues and the phrasing - I so wish I could paint the town red tonight! (9/11/2019)

In the life of this site I’ve published 143 pieces including today’s - it wasn’t easy picking just three… will you allow me to mention two more! My wonderful client projects: Deck Refresh (7/17/19) Stylish Situation (2/12/2020)

I hope you enjoyed this trip down memory lane. Til next time my friends be happy and I hope summer is treating you well. xo
