One of my longest life-friends had a darling baby girl, Rosa Jane, this past November. Her momma has given me the privilege of designing her nursery and I am so excited to show you a sneak peak of the direction we are heading. Before and after pictures coming soon!
Update: Check out photos of the finished room and find links to sources for final design elements.

I wanted to share a few pieces I am currently obsessed with.
I am already dreaming of our "next house" and how I can fit these in. (Just for the record, we aren't even house shopping!)
No. 1 -- Ikea Stockholm Rug
No. 2 -- Eiffel Chair
No. 3 -- Urban Outfitters Magical Thinking Geo Pendant

Ever on the hunt for some cheap furniture to make over, I scored these end tables on craigslist for only $5... FOR THE PAIR! I figured, at that price, even with some chipped veneer, they were worth investing a little elbow grease. Full confession: they have been sitting in my garage for months and I am just now pulling them out. Here are the first few steps of their transformation...
The before pictures: see those dovetail drawers and Lane stamp!? These are the real deal!
The first step was to take the bases and backs off. The base had some water damage and the back was in okay condition, but as soon as I saw these I knew I really wanted an open cube look.
Next up was using some wood filler to fix the chipped laminate. This is the first time I've attempted this and so far I'm really pleased with the result. (Yes, that's a butter knife I'm using as a putty knife... We're classy like that around here!)
Sanding, painting, and new legs are up next... stay tuned!
This summer my mom had a birthday. Well, she has a birthday every summer, but this was a special, milestone birthday and my sisters and I wanted to throw a little birthday luncheon to celebrate. A party doesn't have to be expensive or elaborate to be fun and special; some fresh flowers, pretty place settings, and a make-your-own salad station made for a wonderful afternoon of birthday love!
