    Hello and welcome! Whether you’ve just joined me or you’ve been here from the beginning, I thought it might be time to (re)introduce myself and share a little more about the heart behind Life at Bella Terra. I’m Mary Crozier, and I write from a historic home in Phoenix that’s full of creaky charm, evolving projects,…

    Exterior Revivals: Before and After of Home Facelifts

    ByMary Crozier May 13, 2024May 14, 2024

Welcome to Life at Bella Terra. I’m Mary and I am delighted you are here. Life at Bella Terra is about embracing what the present can bring by valuing what the past built. Here, from our historic property, I will share decorating, entertaining, gardening tips as well as my adventures in the kitchen. Occasionally you may see a DIY but it’s only because it was a rare success! I hope that this blog will be a place of comfort and joy and together, we will learn something from each other along the way. Learn more >
