Vintage Nursery Reveal

Well I got word from my Dallas couple that their baby boy made his debut three weeks early. In honor of Hudson's arrival, I thought I would show you guys the final shots of his nursery! I'm so pleased with how it turned out, and more importantly, that his parents are so happy with it. I received an email from Hudson's dad last week saying this...

"{The nursery} looks awesome and everyone that sees it is floored by how nice it looks! Aimee’s friend started crying the first time she saw it, so just wanted to let you know how amazing your work is!"

What a compliment! It really was a pleasure working with such a sweet couple and making their dream nursery a reality. Now let's take a look at the final reveal...

The Pottery Barn glider (shown with the French Stripe Oatmeal slipcover) was the last piece to the puzzle and now that it's in, the room is finally complete!

Hudson's mom wanted an overall light and airy feel to the room, and I think that was achieved. The soft gray walls and light flooring keep the space bright and open while the small pops of green and contrasting woods help bring some balance to the space.

The bedding is still probably one of my favorite parts of the space. If there is one piece of advice I can give you for decorating your own nursery, bedroom, etc. it's to mix and match bedding pieces! The end result will always look more custom and aesthetically pleasing than a matching set. For more information and details on this bedding, go here.

This bookcase from Restoration Hardware Baby & Child was a great solution for achieving both function and charm in the corner of the room. And it works as a great backdrop for all Hudson's adorable toys and books.

Thanks for stopping by! I'd love to hear what you think of the space!

Our Living Room Mood Board

Our living room is slowly but surely coming together. The biggest To Do's are ordering a new media console, painting the room (which is unfortunately open to the dining room, kitchen, office and breakfast area which means lots of painting to be done!), order a few lamps and a console for the long wall behind the couch. I realize I haven't shared any pictures of our "new" house (we moved in at the end of last October) with you guys. So here's a glimpse of the living room before we moved in. This is what you see when you walk in the front door. The dining room is on the left, the living room is straight ahead and the office on the right. A closer look at the living room. Florida loves their plant ledges...I do not. You win some. You lose some. I also want to replace the tile around the fireplace. A view from the back of the living room looking toward the front corner of the house. The room behind the half green wall is the o...

Guest Room Before and After-Healing Aloe

Here is a shot of the room in all of its coral glory. Great for a teenager, not for a soothing guest room. And here is the Healing Aloe after. Healing Aloe is a color by Benjamin Moore. It was hard to get a good shot of the true color, but it is more of a seafoam than gray. Aside from painting the walls and buying a new white quilt for the bed, everything else in the space we already had--most of which are hand-me-downs (bed and dresser) or thrift store finds (lamp and side table). It will all be sufficient for now, and hopefully a space that our guests will love. I'm very happy with the outcome and the progress of one more room in the house coming closer to completion. One down, three to go (at least in the painting department!)

Table Decorating Contest

Jon and I are leaving to spend a long weekend in San Antonio with his parents and his brother (who will be town from Arizona). But before we go, I wanted to leave you with some pictures from the Officer Spouses Club Table Decorating Contest that was held last night. I called Jon on my way home from base, and he immediately asked "How was the contest?" to which I responded "Victorious." The 32nd FTS, our squadron, took first place! The theme was Silver Screen so we decided to focus on famous quotes from each movie genre. Each place setting featured a different movie. We had a "drive-in" for our center piece where clips of the famous quotes were shown. Welcome to the Jayhawk Drive-In! Wizard of Oz place setting. The glass had a button you could turn on to make the water swirl and look like a tornado inside. Also notice the witch's feet sticking out from under the plate :) A close-up of the yellow brick road I painted. Silence of the Lambs pl...
