Back in 2016, after one too many HGTV binges, I convinced myself Fred and I could be our own version of Fixer Upper. We were downsizing and on the hunt for a new home when we stumbled upon a repo property. Fred begged me to go look at it, but I was determined it was not worth my time. However, his persistence paid off, because the moment I walked through the door, I saw the whole vision unfold. By the end of that first walkthrough, I had the renovation mapped out in my head from start to finish. I assumed it would be as easy as it looks on TV.

Heart & Soul

Tucked away along North Kings Highway, the home of Cheyenne and Larry Epstein is a charming blend of retro character, rich history, and personal meaning. Built in 1966, and now in the hands of only its third owners, the home holds onto its original charm. Details like the stone tile and built-in firewood storage in the mudroom and the chandelier still casting its glow in the second living room add to its character.

My Drift

The Nest is Empty—Now Where's My Wine … So your last baby bird has left for college, leaving your nest empty and eerily silent. If you’re feeling blue about it, you’re not alone. Sending your offspring out of your home and into the world is one of life’s greater challenges, and a fair number of emotions are involved. Excitement for your child, apprehension about his or her happiness and success, both academic and social, and worries about your own sense of lost purpose are all to be expected. Life in your home will never be the same once your kids have flown the coop.

Publisher's Letter

We have landed in a season of firsts and lasts. This month, my oldest son, John Henry, is starting high school and getting his learner’s permit. It feels like just yesterday I was buckling him into a car seat, and now he is behind the wheel. As he takes the driver’s seat, I will be gripping the door handle and whispering prayers at every turn. At the same time, my youngest son, George, is heading into his final year of middle school. And if you have ever parented a middle schooler, then you already know, we are hanging in there with one eye on the finish line.
