New Project: Mom's Office

Hi all! Sorry for the lack of posts this past week, we had a lot going on and I had to put my focus elsewhere. We got through and I'm ready to get back on track! With that said, I have an update on an ongoing project and have a new project to add to the list.

Update on the powder room project: Dustin ripped out the tile this morning! Yay! Slowly (and I mean slowly) moving along. He wanted to start on the walls again, but his allergies are already bad and the dust sends him over the edge. Hopefully his allergist can help him out, so we can get those walls ready for some pretty paint!

New project: Mom's office! While hanging out on Christmas, we decided mom needs to girl up her office and make it a happier place to be. The project started with some fabulous inspiration:

Bright new rug from RUGS USA

The minute we saw this rug, we new it was the perfect starting point for her cheery office. RUGS USA is one of my favorite places to get rugs because they are constantly having great specials. We also ordered the same pink boxes from IKEA that my Aunt Mary and I have for our offices:

These boxes are affordable, come in different sizes and come in a few different colors!

For her desk situation, she already has a pretty ghost chair to use, but her desk is too small. We are looking for a table that we can make work for the space. Thinking it could be a potential IKEA hack situation. Something like this table could work, if we spray painted the legs gold:

Affordable IKEA table

Bizchair is a great place to find chairs, especially ghost chairs.

For the light, we fell in love with this World Market pendent:

Paint wise, we are going to try for a barely there pink similar to our office. We think it will be a good way to add an elegant girly touch, plus it will tie the rug, boxes and accessories together.

Alright Mom, your office has been posted about...now we have to make it happen! We will keep you posted as we make progress.

Lots of Love,

Nursery Sneak: Baby Wren Victoria

In the crazy cold of Minnesota, there is a little spot of sunshine that is Baby Wren's nursery. The bright yellow walls and pops of color bring warmth and comfort. There is a mix of old and new and the room definitely fits the character of Missy and Matt's home. Baby Wren is a new addition to our ever growing family and we were all excited to welcome her to the world! She was born in January and her little face has been warming our hearts since.

This weekend my mom and Aunt Mary went to visit the new little family member and were able to take a few nursery pictures for me to share with you all. My cousins did a great job transforming the yellow guestroom into an adorable little girl's nursery:

I was excited to make a cute silhouette of their Golden Retriever for the room. If you are wanting a cute way to incorporate your pet or any theme to your nursery, check out the silhouettes available in the shop!

Fancy Aunt Nancy had to get the baby some fancy snow boots to face the Minnesota weather!

Right now, while Wren is an itty bitty baby, she sleeps in her little bassinet. When she starts to grow, they will have a crib for the room with some adorable PB Baby sheets.

The colorful and cheery armoire is a special piece to Missy because it was built by her father and painted by her mom. The colors are perfect for a nursery and I love that she was able to incorporate such a great piece!

This fabulous rug is from Cafe Press and works wonderfully in the room! Here is one that is similar, but in a smaller size (I'm sure you could use the custom tool to make a larger area rug).

I can't wait to get up North to see the room in person and meet sweet baby Wren! She looks exactly like her mom and grandma. Hopefully this bright, sunny room warmed up your cold day a little bit!

Lots of Love,
