Hello, I'm Katie

I'm Katie. Welcome to my blog. I am an empty nester meandering through my midlife years one page at a time. We sold our antique home on the South Shore of Massachusetts in October 2020 and relocated to the Dallas suburbs and our forever home.
I love to write about books, movies, TV, celebrities, shopping, decorating, Bravo, and weekend adventures. My favorite writing material, however, is derived from my family: the Mister, my girls, #1 and #2, my favorite son-in-law, and my new little mischief-maker, thoroughly darling Millie. I love hearing from my wonderful readers.

I've never been a fan of B&W, but I like it here in all these settings! And what is it with corrugated steel that all of the sudden we all love it. At least I do. And the raven, 'Nevermore!' Still love your dog photos, even when it's not C. and C. xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat way to incorporate black and white into a design! I like all of these and love the dogs and their fashionable sweaters too lol. Enjoy your Sunday evening!
ReplyDeleteblessings,
Jill
I love black and white, but have never thought of putting it out in the fall. Also, I've never heard of Mackenzie childs! Hope you have a good Monday!
ReplyDeleteThis is so magical! Love that you have gone outside f the box and have created something new for Halloween!
ReplyDeleteYour pup is precious!

I do love black and white with lots of orange in autumn! That is one expensive tassel...darling! These are great inspirational photos Katie! Have a beautiful week love!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful Fall inspiration! I love the black and white touches on the Fall Porch! I hope that you have a wonderful day!!!
ReplyDeleteLove black & white...it is classic! How is Kate the Great? Sending her (& you) love & postive thoughts. Finally getting some fall weather here. xoxo, Dawn
ReplyDeleteI love the black and white Katie! It's such a fresh unexpected choice for fall. Tres chic!
ReplyDeleteSo FUN & CLASSY! Black and white is so pretty and I wouldn't expect anything less than classy from such a chic and fun lady such as yourself!! A Homegoods just opened in our neck of the woods and I'm so excited!
ReplyDeleteI've never used black and white checks in my home, but I really like the way it looks on the dining table with black and orange decorations. I think this may be what I've been looking for the last couple of years, but could just never put my finger on it! I'm going to give it a try - thanks for the inspiration! And who doesn't love MacKenzie-Childs!!
ReplyDeleteLove all these beautiful photos. Mackenzie-childs has been a long time favorite of mine and I have been fortunate enough to visit their site in New York where you can get some pretty good bargains in the "seconds" area. And black and white is always a part of my decorating!!
ReplyDeleteLove the black and white! All of those photos are just gorgeous! I use black and white a bit at Christmas, but love the fall look too! I must get busy decorating! :) Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI think a bit of black just sets well with anything, but when you mix it with white and checks it is perfect. Love your front entrance..Perfect..Happy Monday..Judy
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely post! I love MC and I love black and white. And, thanks to you I have mercury glass pumpkins and gourds arriving tomorrow to go in my Dining Room. Thanks for assisting me in collecting more stuff. :o)))
ReplyDeleteThe black and white is so very fresh -- I love the various interpretations you showed!
ReplyDeleteIt's no wonder that you have black and white check as the background for your site. You use it well!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness Katie, I am a black and white and McK-Chds fanatic! So much eye candy here, I love love love your owl tassel and I might just have to go all black and white check this fall! LOVE it!

Love the black and white, especially MC. I only have some cute napkin rings. I wished I lived close, so I could attend that lovely barn sale. Plenty of beautiful inspiration Katie.
