I don’t consider myself an ultra girly girl. I’m more of a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl. But when it comes to furniture, there are few things I love more than a pink sofa! Whether you live in a monochromatic, white-walled home or one with lots of color in every room, a pink sofa seems to fit right in. It’s time we embrace the fact that our sofa doesn’t have to be beige!
I’m not a fan of summer. There, I said it. I’m incredibly hot natured and summers in the south are sweltering. But more and more each summer, I find myself wishing we had a pool.
A pool is definitely on our list of to-do’s. But we have several big ticket items ahead of it, including doing a major kitchen renovation, laying a patio, renovating our garage, and enclosing our attic. I have a feeling a pool may be an empty-nester project at this rate!
I can’t believe that baby Charlie’s due date is just 3 days away! I feel like this pregnancy has really flown by, and I can’t wait to meet our little bundle of joy!
Along the way, I’ve shared a bit of our nursery progress, and we’re just about finished. This room originally started out as my home office, but we moved my office to this room so that Charlie could be close to us upstairs.
Welcome back, friends! I hope y’all had a wonderful Christmas break and are getting into the swing of 2018! We had a nice, fairly relaxing Christmas with family and even got to get away to the beach for a few days. Since then, we’ve been trying to get everything ready for our little bundle of joy to arrive in February.
Today I wanted to share a big update on all the progress we’ve made in Charlie’s nursery. Settle in, because this is gonna be a long one!
Confession: I’ve never owned a Christmas tree topper that I loved. I’m happy to see that in the days of anything goes, there are a lot more options for toppers, but I’m not totally sold on any of them.
Part of the problem in our house is that we put the Christmas tree right smack dab in the middle of our foyer. I absolutely love it! It definitely gives a wow factor when you walk in the door (and also it’s great because the rest of the house can be a mess but all you can see is the giant tree!). But it does mean that our tree has to look good from all sides, including the tree topper. FYI, I do plan to do at least a partial Christmas house tour later on the blog, but for today I just wanted to talk about this topic that has me on the fence.
Remember this office? Well it is officially becoming the nursery for baby Charlie, so I had to make moves on finding another location for my home office. After kicking around a few ideas, we decided it made the most sense to make our formal living room into my office.
This room, while pretty, rarely got used and just seemed like a waste of space. Well today I’m excited to share that it has been converted! Take a look!
