While we were at the Walnut Creek Wetland Center learning about its history, we followed a group of second-graders through the park to see what they discovered. Here are a few of our favorite shots from their very muddy morning.

The Art & Soul of Raleigh

Sunday Open House // The centerpiece of this North Sunday Open House // The centerpiece of this North Hills home? A contemporary entertaining space featuring stone surfaces by Carolina Custom Kitchen & Bath. Here, clean-lined cabinetry done in ebony-stained maple with brass hardware meets its match with a dramatic ceiling-height backsplash in a dark gray quartz. The soft charcoal stone continues along the countertops with a waterfall-edge kitchen island. White quartz countertops in the adjoining scullery, powder bath and mudroom area flip the color scheme while keeping the spaces feeling cohesive.Photographer: @abigailjacksonphoto Builder: @stellarbluconstruction ..#sundayopenhouse #walterhometours #kitcheninspo #bathroominspo #countertops
