Isn’t it funny how home projects can divert so far from your original vision? The only item from our original design plan for the carriage house bathroom that ended up in the actual room was the showerhead! OUR ORIGINAL INSPIRATION I’m totally okay with that. Our goal with the space was to create a functional…

Making the Most of our Toddler’s Tiny Closet
Even as we make the move from Evie’s small nursery into her “big girl room”, the one thing we won’t gain is more closet space. The closets for the two rooms are identical and terribly laid out – a single hanging bar and one shelf. Not ideal for someone who is barely over 2′ tall!…

Evie’s Neutral Nursery Reveal
Evie’s room has been a labor of love. It took 8 paint samples and two full coats before we found the color we wanted. Cody painstakingly hung, then moved, then rehung frames and walk shelves to appease his (at the time) very pregnant wife. (Apparently pregnant Ashley = indecisive Ashley.) I hot glued myself to…
