At The Picket Fence with Vanessa Hunt

Where Ideas for your Home Meet Inspiration for your Heart

It’s Simply Fall….At The Picket Fence


Simple: not elaborate or artificial, unaffected; unassuming; modest; not grand or sophisticated; unpretentious; not complicated…. a simple design.  

SIMPLE

Seems to be the word of the day around here At The Picket Fence
These days the fence has gotten a little chaotic.  Now, in no way are we complaining.  The busyness is a result wonderful opportunities and we feel so BLESSED!

A feature in Better Homes and Gardens Magazine coming out in a few weeks
upcoming projects and posts for some major brands and products

  11. I love it all, and simple is the name of my game this year. I’m even planning to whittle down my usual Christmas. I just like the feeling that I can breathe.

    And any Realtor would be thrilled to show your home!
