I recently made some custom book ledges for my daughter’s room and both she and I couldn’t be more thrilled! Best of all? They couldn’t have been any easier. Read on to see what a couple of craft boards and some wood glue can get you!
Here is an update on how the nursery came together, with all the linkable sources in one place!
We are into Week 3 of the One Room Challenge where we are turning our guest room into a nursery for our baby girl due in January!
Before we started this Nursery adventure, I had already planned on this week being a bit of an easy one, because we snuck in a little babymoon in Los Angeles! We relaxed, saw some sites, and ate very well! Now, back to the Nursery ORC! Knowing that we were going to be out of town this week, we planned to spend this week placing orders. This way, we could be sure that nothing arrived while we were out of town!
Week 2 of the One Room Challenge is upon us and I’ve been getting. stuff. done. (Or at least as much as my 6-month-pregnant body will allow!
My mind has been on overdrive recently, and as a result, I’ve been revising my original nursery design plan and truly diving into exactly how I envision each piece functioning. First, let’s talk about this pivot in design…
This fall I am transforming one of our guest rooms into a nursery, as Baby Girl is due in January! The overall mood I’m going for in here is elevated neutral with pops of soft color. I’m not looking for an overly baby-themed room…let’s be honest, the baby won’t care what this room looks like! But if I’m going to possibly be spending late nights rocking her to sleep in there, I want it to be pleasing to me and my overall aesthetic! As she gets older and develops her own little personality, I’m sure this room will transform along with her evolving tastes, so I’ll be making design changes with that in mind.
Happy 2020! Wow, a LOT has happened in the past year. Most monumental of all? Moving from Washington, DC to our new home in South Burlington, Vermont.💚🏡💚To kick off the new year, we went on a hike in the woods behind our house today. Between the fresh powder and the chill in the air, it made for a refreshing, reflective, start to the new decade! Happy New Year!
If there’s one question we get a lot, it’s how to shop for leather in Florence. We have been to Florence enough to know that it’s not always easy! Leather shops are a dime a dozen in this town, and if you aren’t careful, you can return home with a piece that will likely fall apart in no time. But good news — we’ve done the research so you don’t have to! We’re going to run through the top tips and tricks we’ve found for purchasing some leather to love while in Florence, Italy!
This weekend we made a last minute trip to the beach with my brother-in-law and his girlfriend. Avalon, New Jersey was our destination, which is where my BIL's girlfriend's family has a house. Looking forward to the weekend was a great incentive to power through the workweek!
With temperatures on the Jersey Shore topping out at a cool 70 degrees, and evening temps dipping into the 50s, I knew that packing for this trip would take a slightly different strategy than your typical mid-summer scorcher.
With travel plans always on the horizon, I've been taking a good look at what the Nordstrom Anniversary sale has to offer.
If you aren't familiar, this is THE sale of the season where Nordstrom unveils thousands of new items at drastic discounts. The sale opened to the public today (Friday, July 21st). All the fun ends on August 6th, and the most popular items are likely to sell out, so act fast!
I've narrowed down the thousands of items on sale and bring you a carefully curated list of ideal travel outfits that I can't wait to get my hands on.
I've applied the travel lens when assessing the following looks, keeping in mind comfort, packability, care, and cost.
Our trip to Italy was nearly perfect...my one wish? That the weather could have been a tiny bit warmer. Sigh. But that didn't stop us from wandering around and getting our fill of la dolce vita!
I bundled up and put together an outfit of layers that kept me toasty. I felt warm, comfortable, and stylish enough so I don't think I stuck out like a complete American :)
