If you checked out yesterday's blog post, then you know that it's wedding anniversary week here at my house, and in honor of our sixth anniversary I'm sharing some of the ways that I've turned our wedding memories into décor that we can enjoy in our home on a daily basis. Today's post is a pretty simple idea, but one that I'm proud of nonetheless because it took me six years to finally accomplishing it.  I framed our wedding invitation.  I know, I know... ...

This weekend, Scott and I will be celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary.  In honor of our upcoming anniversary, I want to share a few ideas for creating personalized home decor that celebrates wedding memories, starting today with a spin on a traditional framed photo. Our wedding was a beautiful event, and we have lots of photos from that day displayed throughout our house.  But what I most want to remember from that day are the promises that Scott and I made to one another.  ...

I hope everyone is enjoying the summer!  After a spring filled with opposite extremes here in Denver - gorgeous blue skies and warm weather one day, snow the next - we finally found time in late May, right before baby Cooper arrived, to do a bit of sprucing up on our front porch.  While there is never a shortage of color inside my house - our front porch has been lacking color ever since we moved in. I love the stone on our house, but the ... View the Post

Yesterday, I blogged about the Big Brother Kit that we gave to Beckett right after Cooper was born.  When my parents brought Beckett to the hospital we had him spend a few minutes in the room with just his dad and I before bringing in Cooper. We wanted to ensure that Beckett had time to see that I was ok and to get some one-on-one attention before being introduced to the little baby that was about to change his world.  We had been talking to Beckett throughout my pregnancy ...

A few weeks back, I shared a sneak peek of one of the special gifts I made for Beckett to give him when our new baby arrived - a custom designed board book featuring hand drawn animal silhouettes.  Today I'm back to show you the entire Big Brother Kit that we gave to him at the hospital after Cooper was born. The idea for the Big Brother Kit started with my desire to make Beckett a special Big Brother shirt using iron-on transfer paper.  I bought a plain black t-shirt from ... View the Post

I realize that most of my recent posts have been very baby-centered, and with baby number 2 arriving VERY SOON, there will be lots more baby related posts to come. But I thought I'd give you all a break with something a bit more "adult." My collection of scarves has grown quite a bit since I first organized our master bedroom closet a few years back.  At that time, I added some small drawers from the Container Store to one of the closet shelves, and neatly folded all of my scarves into ...

As I sit here writing this post, I still can't quite wrap my mind around the fact that in three weeks or less we will be a family of four!  Nonetheless, preparations for baby's arrival are in full swing!  In addition to folding onesies, buying newborn diapers and sterilizing bottles - one of our main focuses has been doing all we can to prepare Beckett for the new baby that will soon change his world.  Since he'll only be 17 months old when the baby arrives, I know that his ...

Our nursery has been ALMOST complete since Beckett was born nearly 17 months ago. But the one project we never got around to finishing were the window coverings for the room. Now that Baby Number 2 is set to arrive in a matter of weeks, I decided it was time was finally get this project done! We love how modern the architecture of our home is, but one element that poses a big challenge is the abundance of long, thin horizontal windows throughout the house. On the main floor of our house ... View the Post
