Modern Western Theme Nursery

admin — Mon, 17 Aug 2020 21:04:51 +0000

I’m not sure why this nursery took so long to come together. You would think being quarantined and jobless I would have nothing but time, but having a vision and only being able to purchase/ order online was a little more challenging than I had expected. Plus, this room acts as our guest room as well as the home to our Peloton (small quarters here in LA) so there were a lot of things to consider. My husband and I butt heads on a lot of the details of this room but at least we both agreed on the theme. We wanted to go with a subtle western theme with mixed woods and pops of greenery. I didn’t want a theme too loud and offensive to any guest that may be staying in there and felt like we achieved the look we were going for. The photos above his crib was the first purchase and it took a while to find the right look (Thank goodness for Etsy!) We sent the print offs to Framebridge who matted and framed them for us and shipped back ready to hang. We started building around these colors and it all slowly came together! […]

Big Sister In Training: Room Update

admin — Tue, 14 Apr 2020 04:42:30 +0000

It’s official, we have a big sister in training. I knew this day would come, the big girl room transition, I just didn’t think it would all happen so fast. Especially looking back at her nursery reveal post, it feels like just yesterday. Less than two months ago, my little doll baby was sleeping in a crib and wearing diapers like a baby. Today she’s in her very own big girl bed, with big girl sheets and pillows and wearing big girl underwear. She’s even too big for naps now (which was not my choice …). I’ll admit I was a bit apprehensive to begin the transition but with baby boy on the way, it gave me a little push to start nesting all around and settle in to the new norm. To my surprise, she took to it all so well! In fact, she was so excited to go to bed that night to sleep in her big girl bed, it may have been a record breaking “night time routine”. I’ve heard horror stories from friends who have had to sleep by (or in!) their bed until they fall asleep or the hours on end it would take for […]

Guest Room Makeover

Guest Room Makeover Welp this post is long over due. The makeover, the post, everything, But that’s life as a mom. I weigh my priorities and our poor little guest room was the last on the list when moving in just over a year ago. Fortunately, my husband’s parents were coming to visit for Adaline’s 2nd birthday which gave me the motivation to get in there! I executed from scratch in less than one week and I must say that I am quite impressed with how it turned out considering the little time I had in my days. We still have a lot of work to do including painting the walls and changing out the curtains to shutters but hey, one step at a time. I have potty training a temper mental two year old on the top of the list with a much needed vacation maybe, hopefully somewhere down the road. I wanted to go for a clean, California style look. Fresh crisp white with touches of light pink and green. Of course the guest room also acts as our peloton station so we had to work around it. Tight spaces here in LA, but we do what we […]

Motherhood: What Being A Mother Is All About

admin — Fri, 31 Aug 2018 02:14:45 +0000

What is motherhood? I came across a quote I really enjoyed. That “being a mother is not about what you gave up to have a child, but what you gained from having one“. It’s crazy how having a baby will flip your world upside down yet in an instant that baby will too become your entire world in the best way possible. My husband and I used to be quite the wannabe “foodies”. We would try new restaurants each weekend and indulge in all the chef’s specials and delicious wine list. Today, in this day in age, it’s the last thing I want to do. After a long work week consisting of us coming home in the evening while frantically cooking/ eating dinner as a family with very little play time left over, the weekend is what we look forward to the most. All I want is to do is find fun activities and things to do to make my baby girl happy! But of course a date night, with good food once every few months is necessary for our sanity. Like I said, being home with baby A brings me all the joy in the world. When we moved in to our new home, I wanted to make […]
