Rugs in the Bathroom, Black Rooms and Baby Potties
Well, that about sums this post up! We had this striped brown and cream flatweave cotton rug from Target in our bedroom…but our dogs sleep on the floor in there and we have wwaaayyy too much traffic in that room for a flatweave cotton rug that you cannot vacuum. Yes, we could go shake it out, but we’d have to do that every day, twice a day. So we moved it. I had it in my...
Read MoreKid-Sized Design
If you’ve been following my Tweets or the Likely Design page on Facebook, you might know that I have a fun new (real life) design project in the works — a daycare playroom! So in my search for some inspiration for this project, I clicked my way over to HGTV and saw that runner-up Design Star Dan Vickery’s new online show has debuted! It’s called “Kid-Sized...
Read MoreMy version of a growth chart
Last December, Glenn and I (ok, mostly Glenn) painted our kitchen cabinets white. It happened to be on the day that our daughter turned 4 months old, and so we decided to immortalize the day on our living room wall. We rolled a little of the low-VOC paint on her little foot and stamped it up on the wall by the front door. I love seeing it as I dash out of the door, and everyone likes to...
Read More{Real Rooms} Reese’s Nursery
I am so excited to share an adorable little nursery project with you today, not because I designed it (because I didn’t – I wish I could take credit for it!), or not only because it is darling, or hand-crafted with special little details, but because it is the bedroom of a sweet little girl whose mama is an old friend of mine! And as you can see a very artistic and creative friend...
Read MoreQuestion for the mommies out there!
I’m just gonna get right to it – How do you get a shower in when there is no one there to help you??? Harper, at 17 months now, is taking one nap per day, Glenn goes to work at 6 AM so I am left to get the both of us ready for the day alone! When she was little, it was easy – she hung out in her bouncer or her Exersaucer…now that they’re mobile what do you do? Put...
Read MoreSugar and Spice
I open my inbox this morning and what do I see? An e-mail from baby GAP with the cutest little girls dressed in the cutest outfits! I really love having a girl, and now that she’s mobile and turning into a little girl (no longer a squirming little baby), there are so many options for adorable outfits! I love the eclectic, non-matching, a little wild looks for little...
Read MoreVelcro, I’m Over You (aka Cloth Diaper Update)
As my little growin’ girl is now 16 months old, I thought I’d share how things are going on the cloth diapering front. I posted my last update/how-I-do-things guide here in February. Now that I’ve been using them for over a year now, I’ve learned a few new tricks and tips to keep things running smoothly. To do a little summarizing from before, here is what I...
Read MoreHave You Met {Oh} Brooke?
I just had to share this (and get an extra entry into her fabulous Fabulous Necklace Giveaway by doing so! Muah ah ah ah!). {ohbrooke} is a regular read of mine, and you should check it out as well! Especially if you’re interested in graphic design, interior decor, blog tips, sewing tips and more! She has a special place in my Bookmarks Toolbar…reserved for a select few blogs. ...
Read MoreSafety First…
…and unfortunately, style comes second in this case. Last week we ordered a hearth gate to surround our wood stove because our little Harper LOVES to climb on the hearth, and she is fascinated by the ceramic medallion on the wood stove. It’s been alright during the warmer months, but now that we’re burning fires we knew we had to protect her. It isn’t the prettiest...
Read More{Likely Favorites} Serena & Lily
I am sssooo excited to do a round-up of my favorite items over at the amazing baby and more boutique Serena & Lily. Why? Because I won their Show & Tell Contest on Facebook for September and get to spend $250 at their online shop!!! How did I win? Well – all you had to do was upload a photo of your favorite space in your house and write a little bit about it. I entered a...
Read MoreAbout Me
I'm an interior designer, but I live in the country. I like it that way. I'm also a firefighter's wife, new mom and a new homeowner and I like that even better. A close second is a pretty and affordable space...and I mean a REALLY affordable space. Because I believe good design can be for EVERYONE!
