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...

Vintage Western Couples Shower

Last week I helped host a couples shower for our friends Colin and Maranda who are getting married in January. The overall idea was to create a vintage, western feel perfect for fall. Maranda initially wanted to have an autumn wedding but the timeline wasn't right, so this was our slight nod to a festive, fall soiree. Along with my own ideas, I also took to Pinterest (my new drug) and party sites like Hostess with the Mostess to get inspiration. The largest inspiration was from this party on hwtm.com. It had so many cute ideas that I had to steal borrow a few of them and add my own little twist to them. The final outcome led to this: Here's a front view (everything wasn't quite out yet, but I wanted to show you this angle). I painted canvas with Colin and Maranda's silhouettes to anchor the center of the table and hung cafe lights (from my wedding) to light the backdrop (a striped bed sheet). Old wooden boxes from my great uncle's barn in...

Up Up And Away- Take Two (And Three)

We took our second family flight this past June. We took the earliest flight out so we had to wake up at 4:00am to get everything ready. I had all of the girls' stuff ready and laid out so we only woke them five minutes before we left at 5:00 am. Rollins is our late sleeper so I thought she would for sure fall back asleep in the car on the way to the airport. Nope. Auden, who is typically my early riser (with the sunrise), fell asleep instead. I guess Rollins knew something was up and was too excited to miss anything. She didn't fall asleep until we were 10 minutes from our friends' house in Dallas. Meanwhile, Auden fell asleep again on the plane. Proof that you can never predict what toddlers will do during travel days. Auden loved getting to use her new suitcase and travel backpack (that daddy so graciously attached to his luggage for her). We got quite a few comments from those ...
