Homes that shaped my childhood

Hey there, it's me, that girl katie, 1st House, Ranch Style & the home I was brought home to from the hospital.

2nd House, Pennsylvania Dutch house that has been in my family ever since it was built. My brother currently lives there. Hands down my favorite house!

3rd, A Split Level

4th, A Colonial

I know everyone who currently lives in all these home. Gotta love small town living!

My 1st blog entry

Hey there, it's me, that girl katie! This is my 1st blog entry.

I feel as if the theme song to Doogie Howser, M.D. should be playing as I write this.

Ever since I watched the show as a kid I have imagined keeping a journal on a computer would be very cool (of course with a theme song playing in the background) However, the truth is writing has never been something I have enjoyed or found easy.

Question: So, why do I feel the need to do a blog?

Answer: For the challenge of documenting my passion for design.

I think I should also admit I don’t regularly read blogs, who really has the time but maybe that will change too.

So, here goes….

I am currently in WV, my hometown state and the home of the Greenbrier Hotel where the famous designer Dorothy Draper decorated the hotel. I went on a interior tour of the hotel early this week with my 4 yr old daughter. So, you can only imagine how much I was really able to listen to the tour guide and I was dragged away to the toy store only 10 minutes after the tour started. However, I did manage to capture a few pictures of her fabulous bold style.

Olivia was also with us on the tour and I have no doubt she would really love the Greenbrier.
