A Baby Girl Nursery

Working on a little angel's nursery was so fun for me - a mama of two boys! Shocker, I know, but I am a girly girl and being able to express this super feminine side of me totes fulfilled my inclinations toward shades of pink! 

The lady of the room will be growing up with twin older brothers, and there will be no shortage of boy things around, so she definitely deserved her own feminine space. Starting with the peaceful pinky-peach on the walls, to the brass bed, and the graphic roman shades....with a Chinoiserie mirror and modern chest, its ALL girl! 

I am nutso over the Chinoiserie custom painting by Erica Lackey above the glider - its soft and soothing and speaks to both my love and the mama's love of all things Chinoiserie. The beautiful Renee Bouchon works above the baby bed were the first purchase for the room, and captured the color scheme we'd be working with.  We kept everything else light, and simple and clean. Its a space that will truly grown with her!

My House Tour: Living Room and Dining Room

These two rooms have been fun for me. The scale of them is definitely different from our last house. But I have loved the cozy feeling of this original part to our home. 

We never put a TV in this room, which I am happy about. Its nice to have a quiet place just for conversation. 

The walls are 1/2 Linen White and 1/2 White Dove. I used an eggshell on the walls, and a semi-gloss on the trim. 

You'll recognize most of the pieces in this room from our last house too. My old trusty cow hide, I love it everywhere I've used it. 

I've always wanted to do a gallery wall of old paintings, and I have enjoyed this little collection of mine. The pillows underneath, on the sofa, are always different. I rotate them around a ton! 

The previous owner had these two rooms flip flopped, but it seemed to work better for our needs and furniture to use the larger of the two spaces as a living area. 

In the dining space, I added the ship lap to the bottom perimeter of this room, and painted the trim here too. Its Cos Cob Stonewall. Weird name, awesome color. 

Above that, I installed caramel grasscloth. 

I. Love. It.

The small foyer and entry way connects the living and dining rooms on the front with the kitchen and keeping area on the back. 

I installed this happy sunburst wallpaper here, and it makes me feel good every time I walk in my front door. :) 

Next up, tomorrow is our Master Bedroom!
