WELCOME
Fancy Folk began to chronicle our family's attempt to use items bought second-hand, picked up at a big-box store, or purchased at deep, deep discounts to transform our 1980s gut job into a home that is blogger beautiful. To keep it simple, I’ve separated our work into two main categories: fixes and finds. I hope you'll explore both.
I love taking short trips to southern cities.
A few years back, I turned a work trip into a vacation in Florence, Ala. (Go, y’all, Go!). In 2018 I made a tourist out of myself in Fairhope, Ala. Then, just last week, I checked out Laurel, Miss., a little town four hours southwest of Jacksonville, Ala.
If you know Laurel, it’s probably because of Home Town, the popular HGTV show filmed there. It chronicles Ben and Erin Napier as they work to rehab the city one house at a time. I’d been meaning to visit Laurel for a while when I spotted a little notification that said the town would soon have a big block party there. I called my favorite friend, grabbed my son, and drove down. Click here to see more.
