Modern Lavender Nursery

October 19, 2019Leave a comment

Anna James is here! There are so many things to say about her birth, her sweet little self, and the adjustment of having a third baby... I could probably write ten blog posts on just those things. But instead, I wanted to share her nursery! Like always, I used a combination of new and old. … Continue reading Modern Lavender Nursery

Hey, yall! I hope your summers are going well. We have been doing the usual... popsicles and sticky faces, swimming pools, sunscreen, beach trips, late bedtimes, vegetable gardens, and growing Baby #3! July 4, 2019 Part of getting ready for our newest addition - Anna James - was moving Natalie out of the nursery. We … Continue reading Update: Kids’ Shared Bedroom

Closet Makeover: The First Project of 2019

January 13, 2019Leave a comment

Happy New Year, my friends! I hope you are fully recovered from the holidays and knocking out your resolutions like a boss. We have been taking it relatively easy since coming back from North Carolina, and I have enjoyed every peaceful, easy minute! Two of my more immediate post-holiday goals were 1) Complete a round … Continue reading Closet Makeover: The First Project of 2019

Guest Room Update: Part Two

August 16, 2018August 15, 20182 Comments

I gave you the rundown on the antique cannonball bed, so let's talk about that back wall - specifically, the curtain rod! How to Build a Curtain Rod of Any Length When redesigning the room, I knew I wanted to turn the bed so it sat between the windows. I wanted to create a cohesive … Continue reading Guest Room Update: Part Two

Before & After: A Full Home Progress Update

March 30, 20174 Comments

We moved into this new house last June and promptly started renovating everything in July. We have been here now for 9 months, completed a ton of projects, and are still plugging along. Overall the experience has been largely positive. I understand that DIY is not for everyone, but Andrew and I are having a great time working … Continue reading Before & After: A Full Home Progress Update

Repurposed: The Thrifted Hutch

February 26, 2017Leave a comment

In spite of having a newborn, we have been able to complete a few small projects around the house. Natalie is a very easy newborn (as far as newborns go), and my husband gets antsy without a to-do list! Last fall I found the top of a hutch at the thrift store for $10. I … Continue reading Repurposed: The Thrifted Hutch

Big Boy Bedroom

January 24, 2017August 1, 2017Leave a comment

We made the switch from Mac's crib to a twin trundle awhile back. Overall, I would say it has gone really well! Mac is excited to be in his new room, and I think he likes the idea of having a "big boy bed like Daddy's". He keeps telling me that his old crib is for sharing with Baby Natalie, which … Continue reading Big Boy Bedroom

The Bunny Garden: A Nursery for Natalie

January 3, 20172 Comments

Happy 2017, y'all! We are in fully baby-prep mode around the Cotten house these days. Our "big" projects are finished... I am putting the final touches on decorating what we have in place... AND the nursery is done! No one tell my children that the first child's nursery was fully completed three months before he … Continue reading The Bunny Garden: A Nursery for Natalie

Master Bedroom

December 9, 2016August 1, 2017Leave a comment

When we started renovating in July, we knew we wanted to start with the master bedroom. There was/is SO much to be done in the house that waking up in a fresh space was important to us (as opposed to opening your eyes and just seeing "more work.") Here is a reminder of what our bedroom … Continue reading Master Bedroom

Painting Hallways & Reaping Contentment.

August 31, 2016August 31, 2016Leave a comment

Oh-my-lanta... It has been a busy two weeks. Andrew has been busy on call with a bunch of screaming, laboring women. I bit off a big chunk of writing work and literally have been burning the sunrise and midnight oil trying to get caught up. My mom's 60th birthday is on Labor Day this year, and my parents are flying … Continue reading Painting Hallways & Reaping Contentment.
