Space Redesigns I love a warm, inviting space! The best thing you can do to make your home more inviting is making sure that the first space people see mirrors the rest of the house in it’s style. Today I did a redesign of an entry way. I wanted this entry way to feel inviting, but modern.
1. Meredith Sideboard from Ballard Designs. I love the classic feel of the piece with the more modern shaped door fronts.
2. Custom Family Silhouette from ishootnouns on Etsy. (You can even get it customized in different colors!)
3. Selection of glass vases from Pier 1 Imports.
4. Hand-tufted rug from Overstock.com.

Inspiration Getting ready for the baby is weighing heavily on the brain. I’m into my third trimester and feel like time is going faster than I can handle.
I have so much to do, and am hoping that any ounce of energy I have can stick around for as long as possible. Lord knows I need it because my husband will be out of town 90% of the time over the next 6 weeks.
I’m in the process of gathering a bunch of goodies to polish off my son’s room to accomodate the baby. It’s been really fun adapting what I have to make the room suitable for both the baby and toddler. Let’s just say this baby won’t have a light and airy nursery. It’s color to the max which judging by this guy’s movement, I’m pretty sure he will be okay with that.
I was feeling really good about my design, and then in my crazy emotional state started to doubt myself when I saw this lovely modern nursery over at make me studio.
It’s everything a nursery should be. And more.
Then I told myself that my design is okay. It will be wonderful. And fun. Because there truly is no “right” way to design. So I’m going with my gut, and what I feel is right.
Check out make me studio’s blog post about the nursery shown above— she was kind enough to share her findings so we can all copy her.
Have a great weekend!

Inspiration I’m loving these classy yet modern interiors from Element Interiors!
Love the shape of the chair back. It reflects the pattern on the sheers. (You can almost see the sheers in the mirror reflection!)
This is such a cozy looking space with the light blue and red-orange pillows!
Love how calm and relaxing this bedroom feels!
