Happy Sunday! How about I keep this short and sweet? 😉 I’ve tagged the chandelier, table, pitcher/vase, and throw pillows in @liketoknow.it. The white pillows aren’t exact (I found mine at @homegoods), but I do think the similar ones I tagged are even cuter! We’re headed to church in an hour, and then hanging curtains in the living room and bedroom, and then I’m heading back to a client’s brand new apartment to get some more decor in there so it’s beautiful and ready for her when she moves in on June 1! What are you up to today?? ☀️ // . . . . . . . http://liketk.it/2BV7f #liketkit #ltkhome #kitchensofinstagram #breakfastnook #farmhouseglam #tuliptable #leatherpillow #liketoknowithome #ltkunder100 #howihaven #myserie7 #myhousebeautiful #howihome #maketimefordesign #mymodernlook #myhgtv #mypinterest #inspiremeneutral #everydayIBT #beckiowensfeature #styleathome #lagommyhome #scandiboho #peepmypad #homesohard #myinspiredhouse #solebich #doingneutralright #designmadeeasy #howwelive

We’re working on getting Joe’s nursery in the new home looking like the one he loved from our old home (not sure if he actually remembers, but hey, this is for me, too). Still to do: replace carpet with hardwoods, lay the rug down, paint walls white, and I’d love to bring in some sort of pattern or texture either on the lower part of the walls or on the ceiling. Swipe to see another view, which includes a painting Joe’s great grandmother painted of Jason (my husband) when he was a baby. I love that we have this! It adds such a sentimental touch 🥰. I’m also loving Joe’s fancy-shmancy olive green linen changing pad cover and his mustard boho crib sheet from @babiease! Oh, and if you have the @liketoknow.it app, take a screenshot to shop everything in this nursery (except for said painting and the baby buffalo print, which is unfortunately no longer available). http://liketk.it/2BRFj // . . . . . . #liketkit #ltkhome #ltkbump #nurserydecor #coloradomom #bohonursery #mysociety6 #etsyfinds #boynursery #mountainthemenursery #howwedwell #earthinspiredhome #doingneutralright #thiscolorfulhome #hometrends #babysroom #bohochicdecor #plantsmakepeoplehappy #thenewbohemians #mybohoabode #midmod #theeverygirlathome #interiorstyling #interiordecorator #homewithrue #lonnyliving #bohemianmodern #5280magazine #postitfortheaesthetic #hunkerhome

ICYMI, I’m going to be speaking tonight at the @cb2 store in Cherry Creek (Denver), and I’m really excited about it! 😁 We’ll go over some of the hot current and upcoming trends as well as how to bring the indoors out, and you’ll get a sneak peek at their new summer line: “Let’s Leisure!” There will also be drinks and a fun DIY craft at the end while we all mingle and browse the new line!🍹 Hosted by @CB2, in partnership with @dominomag and @refinery29, this is the first of a three-part series, and I’m thrilled to kick it off with you! Be sure to register if you’re planning to attend—I have the swipe-up link to register in my stories 👍🏼. Hope to see you there! ☀️ // In other news, but still related, here’s a shot of our patio at our last house. Jason and I absolutely loved hanging out back here with a glass of iced tea (or a cold beer) on the hot summer days, sitting under the umbrella while listening to music. We still have all the same furniture, but now it’s under a pergola at our new house, and we’re on the hunt for a pretty sectional for our covered deck! If you have the @liketoknow.it app, take a screenshot to shop and get the look! http://liketk.it/2BPXt #liketkit #ltkhome #ltksummer #bhghome #patiostyle #safavieh #worldmarket #discoverworldmarket #herringbonebrick #summerstyle2019 #5280magazine #smpliving #patiostyle #earthinspiredhome #mymodernlook #housebeautifulhome #denverliving #thehappynow #hunkerhome #handmademodernhome #denverinteriordesign #letsleisure #studiocb2 #r29xcb2xdomino @dominomag @refinery29 #denverevents #5280life #cherrycreekdenver #denverliving #denverhomes #patiodecor

Happy Mother’s Day! I’m stealing some Joe kisses underneath the chemical-free oak canopy of our Lindy bed from @the_futon_shop! 😉 Now for the mushy, heartfelt stuff... 💕 Today, we celebrate all the wonderful women we call Mommy, Mom, Mama, Grandmom, Nana, Grammy, Grandma, etc. None of us would be here if it weren’t for you! Thank you, @helen_wember for raising me, even when it was difficult and you were stressed the f out, and thank you, @jbpap for raising such a wonderful son to be a role model for our baby boy!💙 Also, my sister Nichole is an inspiring working mama to her two babies, and a fabulous godmother to Joe! This is my first Mother’s Day... I am overcome with love every time I think about Joe. Those of you who are trying and trying to become mothers, I’m praying that it’ll happen for you. I’m thankful for all of the prayers we received from family, friends, and complete strangers when we shared we were going through IVF, and so I want to pay it forward and send up my prayers for YOU! I’m reminded of the poem “Footprints in the Sand,” which I remember was framed and hanging on the wall at my grandparents’ house when I was little... 🏝 Here’s an excerpt: “‘I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life, there was only one set of footprints. I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me.’ He whispered, ‘My precious child, I love you and will never leave you. Never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you.’" 🦶🏼 // If you’re trying to become a mommy, and it’s just not happening, I’m praying for you today and always. And for all the mommy’s out there, I’m glad to now be a member of the club.

Finally 🎉 I’m ready to reveal my @oneroomchallenge! Whew—six weeks really fly by when you’re transforming a room on a budget, with a baby, with both of us working during the day, while unpacking and fixing up other rooms in the house (because we just moved in nine weeks ago), and with a weeklong beach vacation right in the middle of it. Somehow we finished within the posting deadline! 😬 // If you swipe through, you’ll see my original concept board, a bunch of before and after pics, and then some fun ones I felt like including just for the heck of it. Also, I’ve added up the numbers, and all-in, our spending on this kitchen refresh came out to just under $5K! Hiring a cabinet painter was actually what made up the bulk of our spending, can you believe it? And those pretty finishes we added to the island (parquet front, faux marble waterfall counters) can be easily removed, so apartment-dwellers, you can get this look! 👍🏼 • Side note: When I typed “believe” above, it autocorrected to Belieber. As in Justin Bieber’s fans. Idk. 🤷🏼‍♀️ • Anyways, I’m super proud of my husband, who always figures out a way to make all of my decorating wishes and dreams come true. He’s a wizard with a mitre saw, too! Additionally, Linda @oneroomchallenge, you’ve helped calm me down when I was freaking out, and I appreciate that. I’m also very thankful that most of you stuck with me even though I haven’t been posting as frequently as I used to on here. I’m so glad I now have a space I’m thrilled to share with you! The living room transformation is next!! Rock on. 🤘🏼 . . . . #oneroomchallenge #bhgorc #kitchensofinsta #kitchensofinstagram #myserie7 #howihaven #parquet #waterfallcountertop #swlove #sherwinwilliams #oakflooring #kitchentransformation #showemyourdiy #diyrightnow #carpendaughterpeepmyreno #apartmenttherapy #sodomino #greenkitchen #howwedwell #dwellmagazine #bhgpets #diyhomedecor #elledecor #architecturaldigest #kitchenremodel #roomredo #earthinspiredhome #mymodernlook #handmademodernhome #hgtvmagazine

Our move in March was a totally spur-of-the-moment, we-found-our-dream-house(/dream-house-*project*), let’s-go-for-it move. Only months before we sold our last house, we had finally finished decorating every space in it, with the guest room and nursery being the two spaces we completed last. When we got into our new house, I tried my best to replicate the guest bedroom. I know I could’ve treated it as a clean palette and done a new decorating scheme, but I loved how we did this space in our last house, and we only got to have it like that for a few months! Not long enough to fully enjoy it. For that reason, here’s the new take on that asymmetric gallery wall so many of you told me you loved (thank you!), complete with photography from our close friend @koerballin and custom frames from @sawandmitre. Love this striped lumbar pillow from my sweet friend Michele @main_thread_textiles, too! 🙌🏼 // Those of you who have moved recently or plan to move soon, would you rather start fresh in every room, or do you have spaces from your old home that you love and might try to replicate? 🏡 // . . . . . #guestbedroom #gallerywall #gallerywalldecor #gallerywallinspo #coloradoliving #coloradohomes #5280magazine #denverdesign #sodomino #apartmentdecor #apartmenttherapy #homebunch #wallartdecor #mydomaine #neutralhomedecor #mymodernlook #mymidcenturymix #lagommyhome #peepmypad #myinspiredhouse #myserie7 #bedroomideas #ourfamilyabode #designmadeeasy #bedroominspo #howwelive #mybhg #omysa #actualinstagramhomes #roomredo
