Hey there and welcome to my home! I’m just an Agatha Christie loving art nerd curating my 1920s bungalow in Huntsville AL with my husband Joe and our Weimaraner Audrey.
On this site you’ll find links to my Public Domain Print Shop, as well as posts for DIY tutorials, updates on our most recent home renovations, discussions on some of my favorite books I’m reading, and a little bit of real life sprinkled in along the way. Thanks for visiting my little corner of the internet and I hope you enjoy your stay!

About Me
Hi there, I’m Kadie, a full time professional photographer, graphic designer and marketing consultant. When I’m not working, cuddling with my dog Audrey or my husband Joe, I love sharing about our life, travels and the home we’re curating together in Huntsville Alabama.
I love Agatha Christie novels, pumpkin bread, watching old reruns of Murder She Wrote and wandering around antique stores for hours.
