Jayme Ditto is a real talented son-of-a-gun and I freaking love her house. Find out how she made it happen here:

Good Lord, I love this lady. I’ve told this story before, but guess what? I’m telling it AGAIN. As a child, Dolly Party once said I was cute. Friends for life? Basically. Now I can celebrate her every single day with Dolly Party Goods. Sold at WalMart. (*GASP* Girl, I know, but look how fun!!)

Listen, I really like All Modern, but she can be a bit overwhelming. Fortunately, I accept all cookies and those ads follow me around like Captain Olivia Benson. Which occasionally works in my favor when they serve up gems like this. Isn’t Shaw Cloud* by All Modern the coolest cloud print? It’d be perfect in a nursery or bathroom or maybe even my laundry room with the jankiest layout....

The best thing about selling the house across the street? Cutting it real close on the Open Houses. The worst thing? Losing one of the best families in the neighborhood. Sigh. But it was such a cool one to sell. One owner is an architect, so you know she was done right. The other owner has an incredible eye for light fixtures, details and décor....

A neighbor sent me a TikTok that said, "When your Starter Home becomes your Forever Home because you're not leaving that 2.5% interest rate," and ain’t that the truth, Ruth? Currently rates are clocking in around 7.25% for a 30-year fixed loan. (I’m not a lender. I can’t give you a quote, but if I were leaning out a window at 227, that’s what I *might* have heard.)...

Official snapshot above. Nikki’s Nonstop Commentary below. Yes, the market has slowed, but it’s not slooow. It’s just slower than the Nutso Billy that it was. For Sellers – Your home will still sell, it just might take more than a literal minute. But then again, it might not. Right price, killer location, stunner house? It’s gone. Multiple offers still exist, too, but Buyers seem to have regained their grip on reality....

The thing about life at the lake is it’s effortless and easy. Stunning sunsets and walks to the shore. Time slows down when you’re surrounded by nature and it’s almost impossible not to temper your pace. This is the lot where dreams are built. Where friends and family will gather on the weekend for a casual cookout and a day of casting rods in the hopes of bringing home the big one. At night, everyone will gather around the campfire, and you’ll have that special moment when you realize this is what you’ve been searching for your whole life. With an additional ten feet of waterfront, unobstructed views of the bird sanctuary, a level lot and a gentle slope to the shoreline, Lot 20 is one of the most exceptional in the neighborhood. A neighborhood that’s gated, sought-after and offers every amenity you can imagine – an infinity pool, a club house with soaring cedar-lined ceilings and a boat launch with pier.

If your bathroom is a little snoozy, sass it up with bathmats from Society6. And yeah, they DO spell it bath mats, but I feel very strongly that they are WRONG.
