So after a month of renovations (that our nanny had to suffer through more than anyone) that including the requisite speed bumps (sconce wiring nightmares, broken toilet tank covers, too many trips to Home Depot etc.), the bathroom is finally complete. I'm really happy with the final result. It pretty much looks like I had imagined. Being the impatient type I couldn't wait for my own hardware... Read more
Last week when I posted my Weekend Instagram I neglected to share one very important weekend event and that was the Saturday shoot of Bryan's nursery for Childstyle. Childstyle is a new HGTV web series starring blogger Rebecca Woolf of Girls Gone Child.

Which got me thinking, why not create a lifestyle boardon pinterest that captures the life I'm striving for in images.... Read more

Honestly, I'm not sure why I keep trying to do these alliterative post titles. Kind of silly, right? I swear "Dining Delicacies" is my last one and I'm on to more sophisticated and mature post names. In any case, I've shown you the Master Bedroomand Family Room that I helped my friends with. The dining space is the final area that they asked me to give them ideas for. They'd bought this...
