Living Room Reveal: Formal and Family-Friendly

Read MoreMy Custom Upholstered Chair – Concept to Reality
If you’ve been reading the blog for awhile, you’ve probably heard something about the drama surrounding our *almost* purchase of a new construction house, which ultimately fell through for a variety of reasons. This was after nearly a year of specifying and negotiating every finish and detail in the house. I even started decorating and…

I’m so beyond excited to share a few pictures of a very special nursery, created for a very special now-8-week-old baby girl. She made her appearance a bit earlier than expected – in fact, I was slated to pay a visit to check on the progress of decoration of the nursery the very weekend she…
