Nesting With Grace

If you ask any of our family what weekend they look forward to most each year, I think every single person would say our annual family vacation. My parents gift us an Airbnb rental for three nights together as our Christmas gift. Somewhere within driving distance, and everyone takes turn covering a meal. If you've ever wanted to start a yearly family getaway or host a reunion that people genuinely love coming to, here are some of the things that make ours so successful.

There is something so fun about designing a room that feels completely personalized. Before we started this makeover, I asked Hudson what he wanted most in his new room. Without hesitation, he said, "Wallpaper!" He also loves soccer, so we knew we wanted to incorporate that into the design in a way that felt cool and personal without making the room feel too themed.

My friend Sophia's girls share a bedroom, and before the makeover it was filled with bunk beds, concert posters, stickers, and years of fun memories. Our goal was to maximize the space, give each girl her own cozy bed, and create a colorful room that felt personal to both of them (with a few fun nods to Taylor Swift) while still leaving plenty of room to grow.

My friend has this great covered front porch with tons of room, but it wasn't being used at all. You know those spaces that have so much potential but somehow become invisible? This was one of those. The porch already had a concrete floor (not cement—wow, people have strong opinions about that distinction), a beautiful covered ceiling, and plenty of square footage. It just needed some personality and purpose. Taking a Chance on Peel-and-Stick Tile Creating a Cozy Seating Area The Little Details That Make a Big Difference Don't Forget the Plants ... Read More

This bedroom makeover was such a fun transformation. It was the bedroom of a little sister, now the older sister was taking it over and I wanted to help the room grow alongside her. We wanted the space to still feel colorful, feminine, and full of personality, but in a way that felt older, cozier, and a little more elevated than her previous little girl room. And big part was removing the window seat that was just a place to create clutter. Design Plan Room Before Room After A Statement Green Chandelier Replacing the Window Seat with a Vanity The Bed ...
