    Hi Taryn!! What a fun surprise to see my pillows featured here. Can I just say, I LOVE all these ideas!! They have inspired me (now where to find an extra 24 hours in each day to make them all???). Love your blog and all your DIY’s. Not sure how you get it all done with a newborn (and toddler). Have a great rest of your weekend!
    XOXO (ha! get it??), Katie

    Great post, lots of very inspiring projects to consider for future. One I can use right away is little calender, saved for when I get new ink cartridges. Hope all is going well with you and your adorable little ones. How’s the baby? Bet he’s growing so much. Is he sleeping thru the night for you yet? Any teeth yet? Are there current photos of kids on another medium? I’d love to see them.
    I’m working on purging/cleaning my craft/pc room, what a night mare but has to be done. Was all that talk on blog land about organizing, doggone it, and I listened. lol
    Are you freezing in Seattle? Hope not too cold, did you get any snow yet this winter?
    Take care and enjoy your little sweet ones. Happy week
    Sorry for so many ?’s.

Staircase reveal part one! SWIPE for the before an Staircase reveal part one! SWIPE for the before and to see all the details. This has been a major project over the course of the last 7 months, and it has been so exciting to see it all come together. My goal was to create an elegant and timeless look to our staircases, adding character with unique features of the railings, classic neutral runners with gold stair rods to complete the look and a moment for the large luxe chandelier that you can see from the courtyard. And of course a fresh look with smooth creamy walls. 

But I’m not entirely done just yet! Part 2 will be coming in 2026!

My goal is to always keep character where I can but also give it a fresh look that fits our style. I have a vision and y’all are going to need to trust me on this because I’ve had to trust myself a lot throughout the process. 🤪
