Little Man's Nursery

Well it has been 3 1/2 months since we moved in, 

and I'm happy with how things are going so far.

This is what Eli's room looked like when we bought the house.

This is the design board I put together for his room.

And here is his room today.

I shared the tutorial on the starry ceiling HERE in case you missed it.

It was a time consuming project but it was inexpensive and makes such a big impact.

It is definitely the focal point in the room and Eli and I both love it!

Here is his changing table, with the sweetest little print from Hellomaypole

I found this little bookshelf on Craigslist after we moved here, it was the 

perfect size and went great with his other furniture and it helps to corral 

his books and toys, although it never stays looking this cute!

I also framed his monogrammed romper that he wore when he was blessed

in church and I love being able to see it every day.

 This little corner of his room is my favorite spot in the house.

There is nothing sweeter than snuggling a babe and having a special 

spot to do it in.  I also love that he can now bring me a book to read to him

And here is my sweet, busy boy, loving his new room!

Three rooms complete, five more to go!

You can see Addyson's room here, and the kids/guest bathroom here.

I am still accepting clients for October, so email me if you're interested in

a digital design board or if you have any other design questions!

Greek Key Curtains

A few weeks ago I shared this greek key fabric that I was loving.

I decided it would be perfect for curtains in our new living room 

and wouldn't break the bank. (6 yards for $45)

Here's a pic of the living room pre-curtains

And here it is with the curtains up!

 Because the windows run right up to the fireplace mantle I decided 

not to do curtains on both sides of the windows, I thought it would feel too 

busy and not allow enough light to shine through the windows.

  I like how the curtains flank the whole wall and really draw your attention in to the fireplace

I love the bold pattern, in a subtle color.  

It adds the pattern and interest I was looking for but without it being too busy.

This room is slowly coming together and I can't wait to share more pictures soon!

Addyson's Room Reveal

After 3 months in our new home Addyson's room is done!

Here's what it looked like when we bought the house:

 She requested a pink and purple room but I decided to classy it up a bit and go with a coral and lavender color scheme, with gold accents.

Here is the design board I put together for her room

 And here it is complete!

The headboard, side table and dresser were all found on Craigslist,

and I refinished the side table and dresser.

The coral duvet and shams are from Restoration Hardware Baby and Child 

and they are lovely!

They also are a perfect match to the Caitlin Wilson Berry Fleur Chinoise fabric 

which is what really tied the whole color scheme together. 

The gold heart art was a little DIY I did, and it took 20 minutes to put together.

And the curtains are Serena and Lily fabric that I sewed myself.

 The mirror was a Homegoods buy that I've had for months and couldn't wait to use in her room.

This is the dress that she was blessed in as a baby, and it has hung in all of her rooms

And here she is, enjoying an afternoon tea party in her new space

She loves it and tells me that almost every day

This cute little rug was also a Homegoods find and went great with the color scheme

And here is my happy little client, loving her new pink and purple room!

And here's an obligatory before and after of the space

What do you think?  Pink and purple success?

I am also currently booking online design clients for October, so
if you're interested then send me an email!

Happy Design Client

Happy Friday!

I have a very happy design client today.

We just wrapped up a little photo shoot of her new room 

and she is very pleased!

The full reveal will be on the blog on monday!

Dresser Love

I recently convinced my mom to let me have these dressers for our new house.

They used to be my grandmas and I wish I had a before picture of them.  

There are two of them and they were cherry wood with hutches on them.

My mom had painted them white and my parents used them 

as side tables in their previous home.

But since moving two years ago they had been stashed in a basement

guest room and weren't getting much use.

 With a fresh coat of paint and new hardware they have a new life, and have

been passed down another generation.

They are my favorite pieces I've transformed so far, 

and you can't beat $40 for a set of antique dressers.

Office Update

Just wanted to stop in and do a little update on my office situation.

If you remember, I shared this design board for the space a few weeks ago.

Well the desk, shelves, and bulletin board have been installed and

now I just need to purchase the chair and some accessories! 

Quite the transformation from when we purchased the house

I'm glad that the red is gone, and now I have a calming space to design in.

Now it's time to put this space to use! 

I'm currently booking clients for September and October, 

so email me if you are interested.
