I have come to love Laura’s blog at Top This Top That. It wasn’t that long ago that I stumbled upon ther blog. But it was love at first sight.
I would love the opportunity to wander her gorgeous yard. But since I can’t, I shall wander it through her blog.
She’s very talented. See those chaises above? They were torn up. This is the bang up job she did! Can you believe it? Now they look like something out of a magazine.
How about that big porch. I am in love…
What you see above is the house they built and lived in while they built their current home. It is now their guest house.
Laura manages to make all her outdoor spaces seem so cozy and inviting.
They not only took it upon themselves to build their stone steps. But also their stone pond. How about that?
She also did a mosaic bird bath so her birds would even have something pretty!
This woman excels at blogging, at gardening, and has tackled numerous DIY’s that leave me spellbound with amazement.
Did I mention that she puts the prettiest bouquets from her garden together?
That she has a real talent for making folks feel at ease when visiting her home, even though it is a virtual visit?
Did I mention that she’s a very good photographer?
By the way, she doesn’t know I put this little tour together yet. I hope she doesn’t mind my wandering her gorgeous property to let you have a little look-see.
I think I’ll just sit down and rest a spell while you all wander about.
I just came in from pulling weeds and look what I find! How special of you to feature my yard and thank you so much for all of your kind words. You are too sweet and I get the same enjoyment every time I stop by your neighborhood too!!
PS- I still have those magazines if you want them- email me if you do!
How gorgeous! I love it! She’s very talented! And I love your attitude Brenda! You are so encouraging and sweet! XO

You always direct us to the most amazing blogs! I can’t wait to go visit her lovely blog! So glad you are feeling better. That fidgety feeling is a good sign.
Take care!

Oh my, stunning. Thanks for the tour, such beautiful spaces. Hugs, Marty
I only recently discovered her blog and have been so impressed by everything too! I love the tour you gave us of her amazing property and home. I had not yet seen the exterior. I’m in love! I love a house that looks old like that, but apparently it isn’t. Wow! Her porch, of course, really sets the tone for southern hospitality too. Ok….I want to move now. Thanks Brenda!!
I do love Laura’s home and blog. She just lives up the road from me. I met her at Haven for just a minute, but need to get together with her again sometime soon.
You are absolutely right, she is amazing in every way.
GOOD CALL, Brenda!
Beautiful. Thank you for putting this together.

Isn’t it incredible that they did that stonework themselves! I was in awe when I read her post about it.

I don’t think I’ve ever visited there either…so I’m intrigued with the DIY projects and the birdbath. I’m going right now to check it out.

I love Laura’s blog!! Your blog, Brenda, was the first I ever followed, and her’s was the second. I enjoy both of them so much. I follow lots of blogs now, but these are two of my favorites.
Brenda, thank you for introducing us to Laura’s blog. She does have a gorgeous home and garden. I’m off to visit more of her space.
It’s a good thing you are able to take these virtual tours while you are recuperating. It’s nice to have such beautiful images to gaze upon. Have a great day. Tammy

I always love visiting her house (virtually). Beautiful and welcoming.

I remember visiting her blog once. I saw the makeover on the lawn furniture. Wish I could do that. I keep looking at mine and I don’t know if mine will come apart like the said. Oh well, thanks for sharing pics I haven’t seen yet. HAVE A GOOD DAY!
