I won’t name any names or anything (PAISLEY!), but a certain child of mine does not sleep anywhere but her crib. Don’t get me wrong… she’s a great sleeper. Always has been. Girlfriend has slept through the night since the day she was born. But being dependent on her OWN crib in her OWN nursery can present a problem at certain times. (Say for example, you take a impromptu weekend trip to ... [ Read More ]

Dresser Facelift for a Pretty Paisley

by

One of our readers, Brenda, has given us TONS of business over the years. I don't know how she came across our blog back in the day, but a couple years ago... she had us come paint this mural in her living room. And since then we've sold her this end table, painted her backsplash, and made her daughter a profile plaque. I'd say this lady's a loyal customer, and has become a valued reader and ...

Lace Stencil Curtains

by

Our bedroom transformation has to be the slowest room makeover in the history of interior design. And for that I apologize. This weekend, we finally got around to making curtains for the room! And I'm going to show you just how we did it. Fabric can be so expensive. Even when it's on sale, it still seems to add up when you're buying enough for something like curtains. It's one of those things ... [ Read More ]

It’s about time!

by

I have great news... you no longer need to lose sleep over your overwhelming curiosity for what color our bedroom walls would end up. I've temporarily overcome my bout with indecisiveness and finally just chose a color. I'm definitely not feeling inspired with this bedroom transformation the same way I was in the nursery. It could be because that was a labor of love for my long-awaited darlings, ... [ Read More ]

Wednesday

by

Admittedly, I've been experiencing a serious debilitating case of  'designers block' with the bedroom. I'm loving the addition of the nightstands, headboard, and swag lamps, but I just don't know what color to paint the walls. It's a big decision. It sets the whole mood for the room. Do I go neutral since the headboard is bright and the nightstands are that burnt orange color? (in which case I ... [ Read More ]

Bedroom Design Inspiration

As I've been considering the design development in our bedroom, I stumbled upon the following photo on Pinterest of this beautiful Greecian Port and fell in love. And I realized, the colors are sooo incredible... so this photo is now my color inspiration for the bedroom!! You can start to see hints of it with the turquoise headboard and burnt orange nightstands.  It's beautiful right? Photo found ... [ Read More ]

She’s Got Swag

by

A looooooooong time ago when we painted this backsplash, the homeowners Stan and Sue gave us a tour of their lovely home... and I comment on how I loved  their vintage swag lamps in their living room. It was meant to just be a compliment... but they proceeded to remark, "those old things? We just bought new lights to put in their place. Do ya want the old ones?"   ...ummmm, yes please? And so Stan ... [ Read More ]

A Few Dilemma’s Addressed

by

For some time now, I've been really itching to tackle another room in our home. The only rooms I feel are done are the nursery and the kitchen... (and the kitchen could really still use some new appliances, flooring, and the washer and dryer needs to be moved OUT of my pantry so I have room for our month's worth of food). And since we're on a serious budget, designing and updating our home has ... [ Read More ]

Projects and Happenings

by

The girls and I are all feeling better and getting back into the swing of things. It's been a rough few days on many levels, but life is finding it's balance again. During the day when the girls are snoozing, I've been busy working on an upholstered headboard using leftover fabric from the nursery curtains. It's not quite done yet, but when it is... I'm going to bust out a tutorial for ... [ Read More ]

Nursery: The Crib

by

From the very beginning, I knew for sure I wanted a Jenny Lind crib for the babes. I just love the detail. After being very patient, we finally found this crib on craigslist (for $40!!!)... how perfect?!Beings that it was built in 1985, we were thorough in our investigation regarding safety regulations... knowing we may have to perform some modifications. But it turns out that this baby meets all ... [ Read More ]
