Around the House


I'm feeling like I'm in a bit of a creativity rut right now, mostly due to my frenzied cleaning and the mountains of laundry I've been washing the past few days. Plus potty training a certain little blonde-haired boy who keeps peeing right through his undies (it's not going well).

So I thought I'd just share some photos from around the house.




My summer mantle...I'm working on a painting that I think I'm going to put over the mantle - so excited to see how it turns out.



I found this lamp at Goodwill and just loved the shape of it. The shade is from Target.



I hung a bunch of old mirrors and picture frames up the staircase. I'm a little obsessed with mirrors right now.






I love this window seat in the kitchen. It's where the kids and guests hang out while I'm getting dinner ready, and there is loads of storage in the drawers below. I made the striped pillow from an Ikea rug.



This is the office/playroom. It's always a work-in-progress. I want it to be a fun space for the kids to play and be creative. They spend a lot of time in here. I hung an old ladder from the ceiling and have tissue paper pom poms hanging from it.


Happy Wednesday friends!

  4. Oh wow, I would love to see more pictures of your house! It is beautiful.

    I especially like the old mirror on the wall and seeing the plates over the door reflected in it. So pretty!

    I would also love to see more pictures of the playroom/office. Love it.

    Love the summer mantle as well. I need to study it because I have trouble figuring out what to put on mine. :) I tend to be very symmetrical and it looks awkward.

    One last thing, thank you for emailing me the font and where I can download it. I appreciate it!

  6. your house is beautiful! you know what beauty is, and you know how to attain it. it looks inviting a cozy, not modern and uncozy.

    you have me really curious...how do you hang a ladder from the ceiling? what kind of hooks or what kind of ceiling holds such a heavy item?

    also, do you have any tips on hanging curtain rods on drywall? I would like to get my panels to hang outside of the windows more to let more light in.

  7. Lori ~ To hang the ladder from the ceiling, my husband screwed some hooks into the ceiling. The ceiling is made from wood planks, so it holds the ladder securely. I used the type of hooks you use for hanging planters from a ceiling. I don't really have tips for hanging curtain rods on drywall, since my hubs does all that for me! I do know that he typically drills anchors into the drywall so that the screws are secure. ~Aimee
