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 […]

DIY Spring Tablescape

Spring is in the air! Time to pack up your winter clothes and plaid decor to make room for spring. I love when the season’s change but the transition to spring has to be my all-time favorite. There is something about fresh flowers and the feeling of warm weather that is so uplifting. This year, I got a head start on my spring refresh. On a recent Target run to pick up paper towels and toothpaste, I instead ended up with a cart full of new dishes and napkins from the new Joanna Gains collection. Don’t you love when that happens? Now, these place settings didn’t scream spring to me, instead, they seemed extremely versatile. Something that I could use year round but still looked super fresh and modern. And since I blew my budget on new plates and napkins, I wanted to create a new spring tablescape that wouldn’t break the bank. So I thought, what would be cost-effective, edible and also felt like spring? Citrus! To create my budget-friendly spring tablescape, I ordered a bunch of fresh lemons, citrus and, flowers from Peapod. I think I spent a total of $15 on these things! Since my plates and […]

Baby Girl’s Nursery Reveal

admin — Wed, 22 Mar 2017 11:00:06 +0000

I have been daydreaming about my baby’s nursery ever since Pinterest first came on the scene. This was well before the possibility of a baby was even realized. Who doesn’t enjoy making story boards and pinning pictures of beautiful nurseries? So I was surprised that when it came time to actually put together a nursery, I was at a complete loss with where to start. I enjoy the visually artistic side of things, especially when it comes to wardrobe assembly, but interior design feels like an entirely foreign concept to me. There is also the disconnect between having a vision and executing that vision. And to add to the dire situation even more, I came to find that my husband was very opinionated about every decision from colors to overall decor. So despite the fact that we thought we had a vision and had been slowly collecting pieces to use in the nursery, we just couldn’t figure out how to decorate our nursery. Lucky for me, I was introduced to Laurel & Wolf. They are an affordable online interior design. They have provided so much ease in what can be such an intimidating and frustrating process. All I had to […]
