I just realized this is my first post about the nursery! I only briefly mentioned it in an earlier post. So let me bring you up to speed on where we are now and at the end I’ll do a final room post so you can see it altogether.
My vision for the nursery started with [...]

A Rug and Decor Decisions

I am so excited that I FINALLY found a rug for the living room. It only took me 2 years! I seriously looked at a hundred different designs and styles. I even bought a couple and then returned them. Nothing really fit.
I stumbled upon this one on CraigsList – a West Elm rug, only a [...]

On the Money – Inspiration Board for the Home

When I saw this post today on Bryn Alexandra’s site, I saved it immediately. It’s perfect! Exactly what I am trying to achieve in our downstairs. The colors, textures and pattern. I like the rug she has pictured but am worried it would be too light against our couches and blend too much but something [...]

A Home in Progress

We’ve been in our home for a little over a year now and it’s still a work in progress. I am sure this happens to a lot of people….the never ending ideas, projects and purchases. I am not complaining though, I love it. The month of April was all about the outside – cleaning garden [...]

I know we are in December and Thanksgiving is over but I still wanted to share these photos. I was pretty pleased with my tablescape for our Thanksgiving dinner. The only thing I bought for it were the pumpkins and the flowers. Everything else was already on hand.

My mother in law, Amy, gave me 4, 20″ square napkins from Crate and Barrel last year at Christmas. She thought I might want to make them into pillows or [...]

Etsy Find: Knock Knocking

Had to share this lovely blog and Etsy shop I was recently ‘introduced’ to. Meet Agnes of Knock Knocking.

Her wreaths are fabulous! Check out a few of my favorites.
Peacock, of course!

Love the black and gray…

And of course a cheery yellow.

She has many more wonderful designs and also some cute brooches. Don’t forget Christmas isn’t far [...]

Not Exactly Springtime

After a few months of putting up with my slightly overgrown yard and empty gardens because of the heat, I finally got dirty. You see, my in-laws came for a visit over Labor Day weekend and it was the first time they had seen our house since we put an offer on it. So the [...]

Peacock Obsessed

Our room is boring. Yes, we have a great green wall, green curtains, green rugs and a gray/white duvet cover but it’s boring. It needs something and earlier this year I decided that something was peacock. No, not big prints of the birds…I just want the colors and maybe a few feathers. That lovely touch [...]

It’s coming…

Nothing sinister I promise just our ‘busy season’ as wedding photographers. This past weekend was our final ‘free’ weekend for a while. This coming weekend kicks off engagement sessions, bridals, weddings and lots of traveling until the end of June. I am looking forward to all of it. I love weddings and I love to [...]
