My sleeping baby must-have: Black-out Shades. (And How We Decided on the ones in the Nursery)
There's one detail of the nursery we haven't expounded on yet, but I get questions about all the time--the light blue flat roman shade. Why did we choose shades over curtains? How did we choose the fabric? How dark does the room get when they are closed?, etc. And since we did put significant brain power into choosing […]

The 3D Rendering Tool that Makes Decorating Your Home SO much Easier!
This post is sponsored by Modsy When we were putting together the nursery for the One Room Challenge, I was struggling in one big way. I'm the kind of person that doesn't want to buy a rug and chair and crib and dresser and decide on paint colors and lighting fixtures--basically, make all the decisions for a room […]

Get the Look of Our Nursery For Less (A LOT LESS)
Exactly one week ago, we revealed our new nursery we completed in six weeks for the Spring One Room Challenge! It's been so wonderful seeing the room pop up everywhere on Instagram and shared on other blogs and Pinterest, too. Thank you so much for sharing it. Truly. Just like we did when we finished the […]

We had such an eventful week getting home and recovering from the kitchen makeover we did for the sweetest couple in Baltimore--thank you for all the love on that reveal!

So when we were asked to participate in the One Room Challenge again this Spring, we knew exactly the room we'd want to tackle in the allotted 6 weeks--the nursery! Which currently looks like […]

A Ceiling Mount Curtain Rod
I think we've covered just about everything from the girls' room, but one question we keep getting over and over is regarding the curtains and the unobtrusive curtain rod we chose. So I thought dedicating a short post to the setup would be beneficial. Since the bunkbeds and the wardrobes went all the way up to […]

The Reveal! A Shared Girls' Room Complete with Built-In Bunks | One Room Challenge: Week 6
Designing and building this room over the past 6 weeks with Chris has been a lot of hard work and late nights but most of all, a complete pleasure and an experience we'll remember forever. But even before Linda asked us to be a part of the One Room Challenge (we're so grateful!), we thought […]

11 Whimsical and Sophisticated Wallpaper Designs (Perfect for Kid Rooms!)
Choosing the wallpaper for the girls' room was no simple task. In fact, it was probably the thing I agonized over most. I ordered samples, I changed my mind, the room evolved, the placement of the wallpaper evolved. And then I found this Forest Floor wallpaper from Hygge & West and everything just kind of clicked--it was the […]

One Room Challenge: Week 4 | Those Wardrobes
This week, we finished facing the book nook, installed 4 can lights in the room, and ordered a pretty light for the middle (can't wait to show you!) and we also started on installing the wardrobes--week 4 was a busy one. That same angle used to look like this: A few weeks ago, we talked […]

Tearing Out The Bedroom Closets!
A friend of mine was picking my brain earlier this week about how she could add more storage to her home. Closets and storage solutions make such huge difference in the quality of life in a home and it's not always something we think about when looking at a home. While that's all true, sometimes […]
