As we’ve been getting closer to moulding and shelving installations, I’ve been narrowing down exactly where I want all of the special details like built-in shelves, moulding accents, etc.  I knew right away I wanted built-ins around the new huge window in the den (previously the formal dining room), which we’re planning to use as […]

Hello everyone!  Hope you’re having a wonderful week.  I thought we were going to make it through the winter cough free, but Ruby has come down with the icky virus that’s going around and we’ve been out of commission since Saturday night.  Boo. Today I’m sharing a space that will likely be Ruby’s favorite in […]

Happy Monday!  I’m excited today to be sharing my tips for organizing children’s spaces.  I was invited by the sweet Ursula from Home Made by Carmona asked me to be a part of her Organize Me Pretty series.  It includes a group of talented and lovely ladies sharing their secrets for a well-organized home.  Never had […]

IKEA is the bomb when it comes to frames.  They are clean, simple, and cheap.  But those mats– ahhhhh those mats!  The off-white mat to the white frame drives me a little bonkers.  I typically spray paint them white, but I wanted to do something different after I got these amazing prints from Skoope Home […]

Dreamcatchers and teepees, they just go together, don’t you think?  When I was putting together Ruby’s playroom design, I spotted this dreamcatcher and thought it would  be perfect for her teepee.  But before I ordered it, I came across this kit to make one and figured why not?  I could totally make a DIY dreamcatcher.

Every child needs a rocking horse, in my opinion.  I mean, come on.  How can one gallop away from arrows being shot in their direction, or trot toward prince charming, or even ride off into the sunset without one?  My Ruby needed a trusty steed for her playroom, and I found this sad looking fellow […]

Hello everyone!  I can’t believe another weekend has passed.  I need it to be longer!  We launched into our kitchen remodel and the room is a disaster.  Hopefully we can make the most of our evenings this week (and hopefully Jon’s work load won’t be too crazy) and we can plow through the painting. I’ve […]
