Choosing Girl’s Bedroom Furniture
Thank you to Raymour & Flanigan for providing the furniture in this space. All expressed opinions are 100% my own. Full Disclosure. I am so excited to share with you the progress we have made in Hazel’s bedroom today! If you don’t know, we just moved to our new four bedroom home at the end of July after living in a two bedroom for seven years. Hazel is six and in first grade, and has shared a room with her younger brother, Owen, since they were toddlers. I have been anxiously waiting to make her girly dreams come true for her new room. Both kids had been sharing Hazel’s room…

Our Next Home
If you missed my post on Monday, I shared some exciting (albeit bittersweet) news that we sold our home. In that post, I gave a tour of our current home, staged to sell, and today, I am giving you a glimpse into our next place! When we began our journey into finding our second home, I had no idea what we would end up with, but at that time I thought perhaps a large old farmhouse with tons of space and acreage. After a long while of looking and seeing many different types of homes in our budget, my preferences were narrowed down quite a bit. With three young children,…

We Sold Our House!
So, we actually did it. We sold our home! After living in this two bedroom, humble colonial for seven years, we took the plunge and put it on the market. Surprisingly, it sold within the first weekend, to the first showing and above list price. More about that coming soon including how I staged it myself on the cheap. The decision to sell has been in the works for years. It probably started around the time Owen was a toddler. The two bedroom thing was starting to become an issue. Eventually we made it work by switching out the master to make it the kids’ shared bedroom. And then Violet…

Styling a Bed with Kilim Pillows
I have partnered with Kilim Pillow Store for this post. All expressed opinions are 100% my own. Full disclosure. I can never stop tweaking my decor. I love to change things up. And I have a *slight* obsession with throw pillows. Seriously…I have a closet full of pillow covers and inserts. It might be a little out of control… Today, I am showing how easily I change out the vibe of our minimalist white bedroom with some textural throw pillows…whenever the mood strikes. Our bedroom is mainly white on white with texture brought in through the chenille bedspread, honeycomb patterned lamps and nailhead trimmed headboard. On the opposite side, we…

Making Room for Baby in a Small Space
As some of you may know, I am expecting our third child this November. Five year old, Hazel and four year old, Owen can’t wait to meet their new little sister this fall. It is a very exciting time in our home! Hazel begged me to have a baby for quite awhile before I got pregnant and desperately wanted a little sister “to play Barbies with” and basically be a little mom to. When we found out it was a girl, she was over the moon thrilled. She would follow me around everywhere and say she just wanted to be close to the baby. Owen was just glad he wouldn’t have…

Choosing Curtains for the Bedroom
I have partnered with Budget Blinds for this post. All expressed opinions are 100% my own. Full disclosure. Choosing curtains seems like an easy thing to do, but for me, not so much. I have stalled on selecting a pair for our master bedroom for several months now. I would go shopping to look, but leave empty handed. I would look online, but couldn’t decide what I really wanted. Finally, I found a set that I fell in love with from Budget Blinds. My husband and I moved ourselves into this bedroom last winter so that we could give our two kids the oversized master. Living in a two bedroom…
