We’re now beginning the 34th week of pregnancy with our baby boy, and WOW is time flying or what?! It feels like it was only a few months ago we were anxiously awaiting the results of our embryo transfer, and now baby boy is kicking up a storm (it seriously feels as though my stomach is a hamster wheel and he’s running circles around it). We’ve had so much fun styling his nursery, and now it’s only missing one major component: the baby! Jason and I can’t wait to walk into this room and see our happy little guy smiling at us from this crib. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend! Anyone traveling? I’m currently standing in the security line at the airport... 👶🏼🤗💙 // . . . . #nurserydecor #handmademodernhome #cornerofmyhome #nurseryinspo #hometohave #neutralnursery #dwellpow #howyouhome #boynursery #simplystyleyourspace #showemyourstyled #myserie7 #omysa #interior_delux #smpliving #homebunch #inmydomaine #doingneutralright #howihaven #interiorandliving #smmakelifebeautiful #beckiowensfeature #hgtvhome #myhousebeautiful #mysociety6 #sodomino #elledecor #rshome #apartmenttherapy #babysroom

We are 90% finished with this loft refresh we’ve been working on, and both Jason and I are incredibly excited about how it’s turning out! 🔨 The idea here is that this space is going to become the baby’s play area once he starts moving around. Jason built this gorgeous credenza himself (we’re still going to add a back to it), which is where baby’s toys will live, and we’ll move the coffee table out of this space to give baby more room to play. We’re also creating a pretty unique lighting fixture to hang over the credenza, but that’s still in the works. Anywho, I’ve added swipe-up links in my stories to some of the featured products you see here, including the tree ring art from @linton_art, the gorgeous modern-industrial frames from @arttoframes (use code NEST15 for 15% off site-wide!), the meditation bowl and clarity candle (which smells INCREDIBLE btw) from @renoolife, and the beautiful olive tree that kitty can’t seem to get enough of from @fastgrowingtrees. 🌿 Post any questions or suggestions in the comments!

My 2018 Small Business Gift Guide is now up! I’ve placed a link to it in my profile so you can get to it easily. 👍🏼 One of the coolest items I’ve featured in it is this hanging planter from @fire_road (okay, okay, I loved it so much I had to have double!). This planter, created by Founder and Creative Director Andrew Perkins, was designed to mimic the iconic mid century style, but also includes some of today’s organic modern touches, such as the leather sling, hand-crafted wood base, and locally-sourced clay (they’re based in Utah). All of this is suspended from a brass D ring, and I’ve chosen to hang them from some shelf brackets I found to complement our newly refinished and kitchen countertops and DIY island. We get so many compliments on these, which is a huge reason why they’re featured in my small business gift guide. Visit my stories to swipe-up and shop these and some of the other featured items! Browse the other small businesses and share your faves with me in the comments! 🎁 // . . . . #supportsmallshops #smallbusinesslove #smallbusinesssupport #giftguide #giftguide2018 #kitchensofinstagram #hunkerhome #apartmenttherapy #sodomino #modernfarmhouse #modernfarmhousekitchen #blackandwhitekitchen #christmas2018 #hgtvmagazine #5280magazine #denverstyle #diydesigntherapy #myserie7 #smmakelifebeautiful #omysa #diyrightnow #interior_delux #myhousebeautiful #beckiowensfeature #ispyraddesign #nesttoimpress #scandiboho #smpliving #howihaven #beckiowensfeature

I’m adding some final suggestions today to my first annual small business gift guide blog post, and seen here are two of the artists I’m featuring in it! If I’m able to finish everything as planned, you’ll get to see the rest of the featured artists and vendors tomorrow so you can kickstart your Christmas shopping while supporting small businesses! Being a small business myself, I feel it is super important to support our peers. PLUS, in my opinion, small-batch, hand-crafted goods are so much more meaningful than mass-produced, everyone-has-it goods, #amiright? 😉 // . . . . #gallerywall #smallbusinesslove #christmasgiftideas #whiteandwood #fastgrowingtrees #etsysellers #sharemysociety6 #mytradhome #eclecticallymade #inmydomaine #magreadyforlife #apartmenttherapy #howwedwell #prettylittleinteriors #hometrends #rshome #dsinterior #stylemuttspaces #theeverygirlathome #interiorstyling #interiordecorator #homewithrue #lonnyliving #5280magazine #hunkerhome #styleathome #howyouhome #simplystyleyourspace #itsadecorthing

Who else has held out on putting up Christmas decor??! Are we the only ones? ⛄️ Yesterday was 55° and sunny— a perfect fall day for watching some college football (even though CU lost)!! Then, it snowed overnight here in the Denver area, and we woke up to a winter wonderland! It’s reeeally making me want to play some Michael Bublé Christmas music and whip out all of our Christmas decor 🤗. We don’t swap out fall decor for Christmas until after Thanksgiving, though (totally not judging anyone who decorates early—your homes look GORGEOUS—it’s just our family’s tradition, and I’m stubborn, so I don’t want to break it). We have a little more than one week left, and then this will be a whole new scene! This cute fall sign from @the.little.bird, for example, is reversible, and on the other side, it’s advertising Christmas trees! 🎄 It’s the cutest! So what are your family’s traditions when it comes to decorating for the holidays? 🍂🤶🏼 // . . . . #mymidcenturymix #apartmentherapy #myinspiredhouse #myserie7 #diyrightnow #smpliving #howihaven #myhousebeautiful #ispyraddesign #nesttoimpress #scandiboho #prettylittleinteriors #rshome #stopandstaredecor #styleathome #itsadecorthing #inmydomaine #theeverygirlathome #interiorstyling #interiordecorator #sodomino #adoremagazine #hgtvmagazine #bohemianmodern #5280magazine #hunkerhome #handmademodernhome #cornerofmyhome #howyouhome #showemyourstyled

Happy weekend! And happy #oneroomchallenge reveal week!!! I have so many IG friends who participated, and omg you all have done such IMPRESSIVE one-room transformations!! Congratulations to each and every one of you; all of your hard work over the past six weeks has paid off! 🔨 Over here at the Pappas house, we’ve been busy busy busy with our constant stream of small in-home DIY projects and building transformative visual decorating plans for our clients, so we did not participate in the #orc. This kitchen island refresh is our latest small transformation (swipe to see what it was before!), and it only took one afternoon to complete! Today, Jason’s currently in the garage working on a custom credenza for the loft living space (it’s going to be a stylish storage piece for baby boy’s toys!). Can’t wait to show you how it turns out, but it’s not going to be finished until tomorrow because we’re heading up to CU Boulder in a couple hours to tailgate and watch some live college football against Wash State (sko Buffs!!). How are you spending your Saturday? 🏈 // . . . . . #quickdiy #diyhome #handmademodernhome #theNOWlook #myinspiredhouse #carpendaughterpeepmyreno #myserie7 #omysa #diyrightnow #smpliving #howihaven #interiorandliving #myhousebeautiful #betterhomesandgardens #nesttoimpress #kitchensofinstagram #styleathome #itsadecorthing #inmydomaine #apartmenttherapy #howwedwell #scandiboho #mytradhome #5280home #rshome #realsimple #sodomino
