    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.

Euro Summer First stop Paris 🇫🇷. It’s been Euro Summer First stop Paris 🇫🇷. It’s been 19 years since I’ve been here and it’s even more magical than I remember! There is something truly special about this city. The architecture, the people, the most amazing pastries, and gorgeous gardens. Showing my family this city was a gift. I experience it in a different way each time and it just keeps getting better.

Comments OUTDOOR for all the info on our backyard Comments OUTDOOR for all the info on our backyard furniture and decor! Unfortunately, when I get an idea I can’t stop until it’s done 😉. I got an itch to swap out our three chaise lounges for a large U-Shape sectional to create more seating and lounging poolside. I knew there was only one brand who could make this happen… I worked with @polywood to design a sectional that would be a complete custom fit for this little nook. I used the Braxton 6 Seat Sectional and added additional modular seats to get this look. I LOVE how it turned out! They can make anything happen! 

POLYWOOD outdoor furniture is made out of recycled plastics, making it durable in all weather climates. They also have a 20 year warranty.

POV: working with what you have and creating somet POV: working with what you have and creating something completely new! I kept all the original flooring, cabinets, backsplash and fixtures and did only cosmetic updates to update this space. I wanted to add more contrast, character, warmth and texture. By smoothing out the texture of the walls it instantly gave it an updated look, the new paint color added contrast, the wood ceiling added warmth and texture and all the antiques and vintage pieces gave it the charm. 🖤

LAUNDRY ROOM IS DONE ! This was a true example of LAUNDRY ROOM IS DONE ! This was a true example of working with what we have, turning something with great bones into something that is unique, custom and full of character. (Swipe for the before) It now feels like my own little escape to the French countryside every time I do laundry, and I’m not mad about it. 

Comment LAUNDRY for all the details and links!
