So, yesterday was the big day.
Well, I guess maybe not the big day. We didn’t get married or have a baby or move or publish a new book or anything.
But we bought school supplies, and, in our family, that’s a big, huge deal,
a fresh start, a new beginning
.
In buying school supplies, the details are everything. And what you pick is the foundation for the entire year.
In that way, buying school supplies is a whole lot like architecture.
The plan is the start, the foundation for all the good to come.
And the details are everything.
As you can tell from these fabulous photos, from the traditional to the very modern, Paul Bates Architects know all about the importance of details.
Their good taste, evident in each one of these stunning houses, truly speaks for itself.
From blonde wood beams that pair perfectly with steel windows,
To library paneling so beautifully executed it speaks volumes of its own,
Each architectural detail breathes life into the space.
Indoors and out, good taste abounds.
And, like back to school shopping, every space feels like a new beginning.

“Southern bestselling sensation” (Katie Couric Media) Kristy Woodson Harvey returns with a delightfully moving new novel about a mother-daughter duo learning to lean on their community of women—and each other—after their world is turned upside down.
When Charlotte Sitterly’s husband is arrested for a white-collar crime, she and her daughter Iris are locked out of their house by the FBI and—what’s potentially even worse—thrust into the spotlight of @JuniperShoresSocialite, the town’s snarky anonymous Instagram account. Cut off from her bank accounts and feeling desperate, Charlotte takes up an acquaintance’s offer to stay at a beachfront former bed-and-breakfast that’s home to a community of single mothers and draws plenty of gossip in the small coastal North Carolina town.
Charlotte and Iris find solace and are surprised by how much fun they’re having with the other families despite their circumstances. But when the women discover a secret link between them, it changes everything they thought they knew about the unconventional family they’ve created and leaves them wondering whether their coming together was a coincidence at all. Will the skeletons in the mommune closets help Charlotte and Iris reclaim their place in the Juniper Shores community—or shatter the sisterhood forever?
“Perfect for fans of Elin Hilderbrand and Jennifer Weiner” (Country Living), Beach House Rules is a charming exploration of the joy of friendship, the true meaning of family, and reclaiming the power to reshape our own destiny.
