This patio was previously used for a swing and bike storage. That's pretty much it. You can see  that this porch provides amazing picture windows along the front of the home, but all you could see was a swing, some bikes, and anything else that found itself on the patio when people walked into the house. That made for a sad mom. We aim to make moms happy around these parts, especially ones who work from home and have to see their houses all day long!

The client for this beautiful transformation is a single mom who wanted to claim her space for herself and her daughter. It was so special to be a part of this process, and completely indulgent to focus on designing a completely feminine, luxurious space for these fine ladies.

We started with a dark blue nursery. The twins that share the room are nearly two years old and it was time for the nursery to convert to a big(ger) boy room.

Last week, we revealed the playroom for the FOUR boys UNDER FOUR. Today, we reveal the "Big Boy" bedroom update for the oldest two brothers. When we started, the walls were bare, both mattresses were on the floor, and there was storage for clothing. Pretty much your basic kids room.

When you've got four boys under four, it's pretty important that you've got a playroom space that is well organized and designed to contain all that four little boys can do to a room.

I love love. I love spending time with my main man. I love our kids. I love making ordinary moments special. I love making holidays special.

I have had several inquiries about the tent I made for Anna's Vintage Camping Party. The party was such a blast I want to recreate it every weekend and just roast different things over the fire (a girl can handle only so many s'mores, can I get an 'amen'!? No s'more!).

I asked my almost 7 year-old what she wanted for her birthday. "I want a s'mores party," she said. That's my kid, thinking about the food first.

Happy Valentine's Day! This week has been full of snow days, homemade valentines, and, since my husband was in California on business (bless his heart, snark, snark), quality time with my kids!

When someone says they have their gifts purchased and wrapped by September, I generally want to punch her in the face. Now, I love gift giving - the shopping, the wrapping, everything! - but I like to do it in the weeks just before Christmas, mostly on account of my procrastination and such.

The walls of my home are relatively neutral, but I chose this bright teal for an accent wall in my kitchen.

Two little boys needed a room to play and do their homework. I was working with Cristi Holcombe on this design and she suggested a gallery wall with the boys' art.

I mean, who doesn't love Pinterest? Only people who have never been on, that's who. It still feels like summer here in Georgia but I am doing my part and wearing corduroy and suede to encourage cooler temps. It will work by this weekend, I'm sure of it.

My daughter is a girly girl. You may remember her princess party last year. That was her in her essence. So when she told me she had changed her mind and now, instead of a fairy birthday party, she wanted reptiles, I was taken aback but super excited for a break from pink frills.

Happy Mother's Day! Taking care of little people is a lot of work.

I have collected vintage (and vintage looking) robots for years. When the doctor said, "It's a boy!" I knew his room would showcase my robots.

My grandfather was a real cowboy in Oklahoma and always had a love of horses. We rode his horses and even competed with him in rodeos when we were young, so when the doc announced to us,”it’s a boy!” I knew a cowboy party would be in his future.

I am working on an eDesign plan for a playroom that is visible from the living room of my clients’ house.

Last weekend we pulled out the stops for our favorite monkey…our 3 year old, Caleb!

Happy Fun Fall Frivolity from my Fine Family to Yours!
