We are so excited to finally share pictures of our baby girl’s nursery! As my last post explained, she was born about a month early and we were SO not prepared for that to happen. Both Ronan and I tend to be overly optimistic about most things, which sounds sweet, but can lead to real trouble when situations like this arise. Although we didn’t have a finished nursery to come home to, what we did have was a general plan and a couple of Pinterest photos for inspiration.
We knew that we wanted to use this opportunity to flex our creative design muscles a little bit. We love, love, love neutrals and try not to lean too much into trends, but this nursery just seemed like a good place to break our own rules. We knew that it was a room that would probably change and evolve faster than the other rooms in our house, since the baby living in it would also be changing and growing quickly (too quickly!!). We also already had a lot of white nursery furniture from when our son was a baby and since we are cheap frugal green, we were sure we wanted to reuse that furniture. Instead of using our usual white paint and putting the white furniture in front of it, we thought this would be the perfect opportunity to try out a dark wall color.
Hi! It has been over a year since we last wrote a blog post and recently we have had a few inquiries from friends and family wondering what the heck we have been up to. Maybe everyone is just a little bored since they can’t really leave their homes, but the requests made us feel more motivated than ever to fill everyone in on what we have been doing and it’s A LOT!
Hi! As I am sitting here drinking my coffee and mentally preparing myself for a big day of work ahead, I realized that we need to update the blog before we jump into another project! Right now, it feels very exciting around here because there is SO MUCH happening and although there aren’t many pretty pictures to show any finished projects, that shouldn’t stop us from updating you.
OH! Remember how in the last post I wrote about how I so want to have Joanna Gaines’ vision, style sense, photographers, (possibly) soccer heading skills, and more? Wellllll, it just so happens that I picked up her magazine, Magnolia Journal, and guess what the topic of the issue was? Authenticity. She seems to have mastered the art of living authentically and ready for the crazy part? Ironically, it turns out, in order to be more like Joanna, I need to apparently be more like myself and less like Joanna. Wow.
That explanation was all really just an excuse for me to use a bunch of old photos that I took on my phone in this blog post, instead of going around the house right now and taking pictures with my actual camera. Joanna would not use iPhone pictures. Apparently, Carolyn would. Wait, maybe my authentic self is pretty lazy? What if my authentic self is actually super lazy and I haven’t been allowing myself to be exactly who I am supposed to be? I need to explore that…
