Historic Renovation

In the latest issue of Connecticut Cottages & Gardens, there is a spread of an 18th century home that has all the components of a home that I adore. From the wide-planked floors, to the muted upholstery found throughout the house, it is just to die for.








I love the old iron bed. Once Ella outgrows her crib, we'll set up my old iron bed for her. Currently it is white, but I go back and forth with wanting to paint it a fun bright pop of color, or restoring it to its original color, black.

Madly in love with the sliders right now. Trying to think of every way possible to fit them in my house somehow...


This wood planked door is amazing. Although my style is a little bit more modern now, there is something about this that draws me in.


What house do you have a crush on lately?

Chalkboard Inspiration

I am so happy to say that we officially have a gigantic chalkboard in our house! I've wanted one forever but could never find the right size or look. Finally my husband just decided to paint one on...and I love it. I will post pictures soon...(the drying process is BRUTAL!)
Here are some pictures from Pinterest that inspired us.

I'm Yours

So part of my decorating style is to definitely incorporate who we are as a family, into the design and art of my house. Once I saw this etsy seller's work, I knew I had to have her create me an awesome, custom piece of work.
Here's what I ended up with...

If you're all humming Jason Mraz's song "I'm Yours", then I'm glad. Because that's exactly where this all started. Our three year old son has been obsessed with this song since he was an infant, it was the only song that calmed him down as a baby and the only song we listen to about 784732 million times a day. I swear. (We've even had to take him to one of his concerts already).




So, really, I love the simplicity of this poster, the power of the two words in this poster, but especially because of the deeper meaning it means to my family.



What would your poster say?
