Home Office & Multipurpose Room Staging
I am so excited to start showing you our home staged to sell! If you missed my first post about how we sold our home be sure to head back here to read that. I have many rooms to show and tips and tricks to share with you. We were blessed to sell our home to the first person who saw it and over list price. The weeks leading up to selling, we were busy painting, cleaning, decluttering and researching how best to stage a home to sell. Today, I am taking you guys into our office and multi-purpose room. This room has mostly been a playroom and office for…

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…

38 Weeks and Counting
I have partnered with Burke Decor for this post. All expressed opinions are 100% my own. Full disclosure. On Sunday, I hit the 38 week mark in this pregnancy. This baby seems pretty content to just stay where she is. My first baby, Hazel, was born premature at 31 weeks and Owen was born at exactly 38. It looks like I might get to know what the 39th and 40th weeks of pregnancy are like with this one…maybe even beyond? I am definitely nesting these days and spending as much time and energy as possible (which is fading fast) getting things ready around here for our baby girl. I am…

Wildflower Bohemian Baby
Our baby girl is due in less than a month! Hard to believe really, but then I know as soon as she arrives we will wonder how we ever got on without her. It is such an exciting time bringing a new person into the world. It’s been five years since I had a baby girl to shop for, and I have become a bit obsessed with looking for cute new finds for this one. There are so many adorable baby items out there, I just can’t help myself. I have already purchased a few, and keep adding to my wish list. Today, I am sharing some of my favorites…

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…
