Sometimes We Work Too Hard
First off. Sometimes we work too hard. Other times work just seems to get the best of us and we have to take a quick break. This time... well we were just enjoying the sunlight. And I was merely resting my eyes for one quick second! We love days where the sun is...
Start Doing
Walt Disney was a genius. Really. source I'm convinced this one belief is what distinguishes us entrepreneurs and inventors and doers from, well, not being those people. There is a time for talking, for planning, for dreaming. But after that's done, get started....
Casual Tiny Food Party
Since we were in a hotel room the first go around, all of us at PI decided to hang out and watch the re-airing of our Pilot, Sweet House Alabama, last week. Most of our house is light and bright, but Matt's home theater (that he finished mostly by himself) is all...
DayBed Swing Inspiration
I remember when we first met with Nikki and Jason about their house. As we discussed their cabinets, what paint colors they didn't like, and how they wanted their home to feel, Nikki's one thing she really wanted was a porch swing. She wanted to be able to sit and...
Sweet House Alabama Pilot Paint Colors
Since there was so much to blog about with the before & after's of the Herndon's house, I thought it best to share the paint colors in one spot for you guys. Because if you made it to the bottom of that last post, you deserve a medal. Or twelve. I'll just list the...
Behind the Scenes of Sweet House Alabama: From the Assistants
First off... We are Kaitlyn and Julie. Shaunna and Matt's design assistant for Sweet House Alabama (among many other things). You may have met us before but in case you haven't... Hello peeps! This may come as a shock for some, but Julie and I were more than happy not...
25 Things
1. I just wrote the post for the house we renovated on the pilot. 2. Bless that was a lot of work. Renovating the house AND writing that post. 3. I'm officially old. 4. I wear computer glasses. Yep. Computer glasses. 5. Clearly I don't spend much time on my...
Sweet House Alabama: The Herndon House
Well here we go. This post is the one you guys have been asking for since the airing of our pilot, Sweet House Alabama, on HGTV. This will be quite lengthy, but this project was a huge undertaking and I want you to have all of our sources in one spot. We were so...
Sweet House Alabama News
Hello friends! We're still in a whirlwind after the airing of our Pilot, Sweet House Alabama, on HGTV this past weekend. Like we said yesterday, we can HARDLY thank you enough for your support. It's been quite humbling, to say the least. the Herndon's living...

Office Bath Redo & a Coyuchi/Zabada Clean Giveaway
Waay back when, we decided our catch all of an attic could be used for something more. You know, for important stuff, like for soaking claw foot tubs... Confession. I've only take one 10 minute bath in that glorious bathtub. The office bathroom was part of the...
Growing Slowly
I've had one of those months. Things aren't really lining up perfectly at work...sales are a little slower, some systems aren't as efficient, and I'm most certainly more scattered & unorganized. Some of my ideas aren't panning out, and the ones that do seem to...
Factory South: Shop Displays
Things are slowly settling down since our opening last week of Factory South, our new sister/brother store. It was a whirlwind week for sure, setting up late the night before our soft opening on Wednesday morning. By the time the doors opened up at 7 a.m., my feet...
FS Grand Opening Details (& a store sneak peek)
If you would have told me five years ago that I would be a store owner, a blog/book writer, and run an online store, I'm not sure I would have believed you. If you had told me that writing that blog would lead to all it has, I certainly wouldn't. After a couple of...
Factory South
I've hinted. And we've announced it on Instagram. But if you haven't heard, we are opening a new shop in Opelika, Alabama. Factory South will be a totally new concept, a little bit of Perfectly Imperfect mixed with a little bit of Cotton Creek. We wanted to create a...
NYC Travel Guide
For my birthday this year, Matt (who couldn't have been any more generous/thoughtful), sent me to New York with two of my best friends and his sister, Lara, who happens to be one of my favorite people in the world. I'm not totally sure who decides to tour New York in...
Dynamic Pursuit
Since starting this blog five years ago, I've shared most of my life out here. There isn't a whole lot you guys don't know when it comes to my disheveled, imperfect life. The last 2 months have been hard for me. I took a little step back from blogging. I needed a...
Evolution of the Shop
I remember the summer of 2012 vividly. I was holding on to dreams and sketching and my mind (that never rests) was in overdrive. I was writing the blog, and I had opened an online store. I was battling the decision to homeschool Gray, had a kidney surgery, and for...
Into the Woods: Holiday Look Book
I know you're all gearing up for turkey and dressing and nap times with full bellies. Still though, before Black Friday & Cyber Monday (yay for y'all!!), we have been working hard to get our holiday look book released for your inspiration while shopping. We all...
Into the Woods Video: Behind the Holiday Look Book
Well, I'm back in the land of the living. Sort of. We took a quick escape to Cancun for a work trip for Matt. It was great to get away and completely unplug for a little bit, and I'm sure I'll share some pics soon. In the meantime, though, I'm so excited to share a...
