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!

New Coffee Table

After more than a year of debate, I've finally decided on and ordered us a new coffee table! As mentioned here , there were several styles I was considering. However, in the end the tufted ottoman came out on top. Not only was it versatile, so it can be used for years to come, but it also will be good for when we have kiddos down the road. I can't tell you how many people I know who have had to either remove their coffee tables for the safety of their kids' noggins or have had to add those tacky corner protectors. I did not want to invest in a new piece only to have to stow it away down the road. So this seemed to be the perfect solution. And thanks to my Joss & Main membership, it turned out to be the perfect price too. I was all set to order a tufted ottoman from Ballard Designs. I had already received a swatch sample of the fabric I selected and everything. But a few days later, I got a notification from Joss & Main of a sale event called The Tufted C

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 office sans the Fr

A Heart

Lately, baby prep has been on the forefront of my mind. Getting the nursery ready, packing the hospital bag, washing all of her clothes, setting up a pediatrician and the list goes on. Sometimes I have to step away from it all (literally and mentally) so as not to get overwhelmed. I put this pressure on myself to get it all done and done right. I tell myself that all of these things are so necessary for her to be a good place upon her entrance to the world. Sure cute, clean outfits and a nice room are nice things for your child to have, but how lost I can get in the worldly things. More than anything else, I know that the best thing I can give my daughter is a great example of a good heart. A heart that empathizes and serves. A heart that loves the Lord and longs for his relationship. A heart that is thankful and joyful even on the worst days. It's a frightening thing to ask myself "Will she learn this from you? Will you be able to be that example?" That carr
