Last fall, I started designing a nursery for my sister's newest addition. Her baby arrived early (on January 1st!) and over the last month, Chris and I have been on location finishing it up just in time for her to move out of her bassinet and into her crib and brand new nursery. Today, I […]
We've been on a journey to find the perfect exterior color to pair with our red brick. You see, our windows need replacing, so we're taking this window of opportunity (see what I did there?) to paint all the exterior trim, soffit, and fascia to match. We color-matched my top window colors, and we've been […]
