Fainting Couch Toddler Bed Inspiration/Construction {Part 1}

September 24, 2013 by Bethany Sy

Some of my mommy-friends have small children who climb out of their crib before they’re even a year old. And other less-ambitious children don’t attempt to escape until well into their toddlerhood. My small children have made it to age two, and are still going strong (we’re thanking our lucky stars). But I know that dreaded day is coming, and I often think about that terrifying moment when I wake ... [ Read More ]

New House Inspiration And Merging Design Styles

July 31, 2018 by Bethany Sy

I know that my decorating style isn't exactly 'traditional'. It's sort of an obnoxious mix of Mid-Century Modern, boho, eclectic mish-mash. It's mine, and I love it. And in the weeks and months since we bought our 'new' historic home, there are a TON of people that are concerned about how I'm going to switch my style to match the style of this home. BETHANY, HOW WILL YOU HONOR AND EMBRACE ... [ Read More ]

There aren’t many ‘original’ ideas out there these days, but this Papasan-Chair-turned-Little-Girls-Canopy goes down as one of my favorite ORIGINAL ideas… that came straight from the depths of my complex brain.

Twin Toddler Girls’ Room Reveal

August 25, 2016 by Bethany Sy

With all this unexpected time on my hands, I was cruising my own blog the other day, looking for a certain project I was referencing from The Twins’ Big Girl Room, when I realized that despite sharing dozens of tutorials that make up their room makeover, I never did an actual room reveal… with project links and sources all in one place! So since I’m a little under the weather and don’t have a new ... [ Read More ]

Tips to stay ahead of the Cleaning Game

August 20, 2016 by Bethany Sy

Here’s a fun-fact about yours-truly. I DESPISE CLEANING. Now before you go getting all judgy and assuming I’m a slob, I would like to proclaim that I am VERY organized and love to be tidy. Everything has a place! And I’m proud of all my organizational strategies! But having a ‘clutter-free’ house is a far cry from an ACTUAL CLEAN house. So recently, I started making a list of things that ... [ Read More ]
