We have finally started on the nursery! Plans have changed a bit since my original design. We thought we were going to start the nursery before the baby came and since we didn’t know if the baby was going to be a boy or a girl (it’s a boy!!) we kept it pretty neutral. I’ve decided to make a few changes, adding in some dark touches, a built-in bookcase and custom reeded detailing to the closet doors which we will change from bi-fold to French.
Read MoreWe are in the home stretch with the playroom!! All the structural pieces are pretty much done—now the fun part: decorating! In today’s post we’re sharing all the details on part 2 of our playroom renovation. If you missed part one where we talk about the floors, windows, paint and more, you can catch up here.
Read MoreWe have made a lot of progress in the playroom! It may not seem like much, but we did big things including creating an opening and installing a new window which makes such a difference in the lighting we now get in there. In today’s blog post we’re sharing the details on everything we’ve done so far!
Read MoreThe garden is all tidied up for the season and we added a little something extra— can you spot it?! Here’s a look at last year’s garden updates and our initial garden build here.
Having the garden prepared really signals the start of the season for me and it brings us so much joy as a family. It’s such a peaceful spot to walk through each day, and once things start growing Anchor really enjoys checking in each day to see what he can harvest (aka eat right from the plant and the harvest never makes it inside)!
Read MoreHappy new year, friends! I hope the start of the year is treating you well. I don’t know about you, but I always take a little while to get into a groove after the holidays, but I’m excited about what this year has in store! We are anxious about the arrival of our new baby in April!! And also excited about the new projects we have planned for the year.
Read MoreLibrary progress! I can’t believe the foundation of the library is done and now I can start decorating, and best of all get books on the shelves! We did SO much work to this room, between cutting a hole to create a passthrough to the back room, adding French doors, creating custom built-ins, shiplapping the ceiling, replacing the old hardwood with wide plank white oak floors, painting the room a nice fresh white…it’s a whole new room! You can see our first progress post here.
Read MoreI’m so excited to share our privacy hedge project with you all today! This was one of those things where we were just talking about how it would be nice to have more privacy in the side yard and the next thing you know we’re planting bushes and building a gate 😂
Read MoreWelcome to our garden! Everything is planted (minus some cherry peppers that I haven’t been able to find) and we added a few small touches :)
Read MoreThe bedding was given to me by Garnet Hill in exchange for my honest review.
We gave Anchor’s bed a little refresh! It’s no secret that I love linen bedding. It’s natural, breathable, soft, works year-round. Most of all, I love the lived-in, organic look of linen— it always makes me just want to jump right in! So naturally I had to choose this wonderful fabric for his updated bedding! Garnet Hill is definitely my go-to for linen bedding— I can trust that they’re free of harmful substances and I love that they’re garment-washed for extra softness! They also have beautiful color choices.
