Updated Nursery Design Plans

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.

Spring 2021 Veggie Garden

The 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.
