book storage solutions for the kiddos
Surface space is something we’ve always been short on in Lydia’s nursery and with her ever-growing collection of books, I’ve been trying to find a way to store them all where they’re easily accessible and not ripping the covers. Lately, we’ve been using baskets to corral them because we don’t have room for a bookshelf…

adorable seating for the kiddos that blend in with any decor
I’ve been on the hunt for some pint-sized seating for Lydia to keep in our living room that is comfy enough to for her to relax in but that also doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb from the rest of my decor. Call me crazy, but I get enough “pops of color” from baskets…

I’m so excited to get back into blogging mode and especially to…

j+t’s playroom
Kids rooms and nurseries are quickly becoming some of my favorite spaces to work on! Partly because there is such a sense of fun and adventure in decorating for little ones, but also because it’s impossible to take these spaces too seriously. When the mama of two special little boys, aged 3 1/2 and 2…

a great before and after
I love Pinterest- not only for the bevy of inspiration you can find for nearly EVERYTHING, but also because it leads to design blogs to pore over. Such was the case when I stumbled upon Ashley of Smitten Design. I love a good before and after and the nursery she designed for her adorable baby…

In my search for some artwork for one of the nurseries I’m just getting started working on, and, in light of the kiddo-inspired post I shared earlier today, I thought I’d share artist Matte Stephens delightful paintings, which I found on Etsy.
