I’ve been anxious to share the first birthday party photos with you, and the wait is over! We’re so thrilled to have Marie + Henry’s party featured on 100 Layer Cakelet! I’ll be sharing more behind the scenes inspiration soon, as this was the most DIY I have ever done before. Check out the feature + inspiration board and leave some love there if you can, MERCI!

practical + pretty

open-shelf-styling

I had the pleasure of styling these charming kitchen shelves this week at a clients home. They needed to be practical + pretty, using what was available…and I left with a big smile on my face knowing that the mini makeover made her day. Bonus-she has (adorable + beautiful) boy/girl twin babies, and we spent half the time chatting and bonding over twin mom stuff!! We get each other’s lives, and it feels good. I gained a new client, friend, and playmates for M + H…yay. Also, this photo puts me in a spring mood. Does it cheer you up too? I hope so. Bon weekend friends!

This was our Christmas Eve setting…I stayed up late the night before to set a formal table, complete with satin ribbon napkin ties and an impromptu cotton + evergreen arrangement. As tired as I am in the evenings, I enjoyed doing it-my Mom taught me well. My parents joined us, and we dined in front of our crackling fireplace. I was already feeling emotional this year, but as the (surprise) fluffy snow began to fall before dinner, I was overcome. Hell, we all got a bit teary-it was just perfect. Christmas day was spent in pajamas with our babies, and Santa brought them a special present! We kept gifts simple this year, as they really have no clue what’s going on, ha-but they did enjoy the sounds and textures of wrapping paper! This year was truly one of the most beautiful and memorable Christmases I’ve ever experienced, and I hope yours was special as well…are there any new traditions or memories you would like to share?

I just realized I hadn’t shared our twin nursery here, which was revealed on Design*Sponge Monday! It has been a labor of love, and since nursery design is what I do, I’ve dreamed of designing my own nursery for what seems like forever. Of course discovering we were having twins changed things a bit, but the neutral decor was always the plan. I am so very pleased with the result…all the planning and research paid off. It’s my new favorite room in the house…now we just need to fill it with babies!
