In The BNOTP Library: Paula Deen’s Savannah Style

Recently we took a tour of Paula Deen's home in Savannah. I mentioned in that post, that though I like Paula's current home a lot, I really loved the home she previously lived in. I had seen photos of that home in Paula's magazine many years ago. Also, Paula wrote a book in 2010 and when it arrived, I was happy to see she did include lots of pictures from her own home in addition to tours of several … [Read more...]

One of the first things we came across was this wonderful gate.   I'm loving those pineapple … [Read more...]

Wormsloe
