It’s been a busy couple of weeks here! Between the start of the holidays and visits from family, I feel like we’ve been pretty nonstop. Nora started walking about a month ago and has quickly moved on to running, which definitely adds to the chaos! With everything happening, I haven’t done too much writing, though I am working on three write-ups for the TQ Mountain Home Awards. The houses are all located in Martis Camp and are all very cool: An interior design project by Cathy Nason, a Ward-Young home defined by its curving copper roofline and a Clare Walton–designed mountain-style bungalow that sits on a small lake. All beautiful houses—and all inspiring me to tackle some renovations at my own home!
