Happy New Year! We’re excited to finally have a move in date. 2 1/2 years after moving in. Permits, termites, you name it delayed the guest house renovations.

I’ve been searching for some mid century/1950’s-70’s inspiration for phase two of our home renovations and came upon Charlotte designer Barrie Benson’s cool portfolio.
