Modern Efficient Laundry Room Before + After

Modern Efficient Laundry Room Before + After

This is what the laundry room looked like for about two years after we moved in. Ignored, but used so so so much. We were just too busy with other parts of the home to give it proper attention. Poor laundry room. You

Currently, we live in a small apartment and really needed to separate some of the toys from the main living space. We have a neat little nook next to our staircase that did just the trick! The half-wall creates the perfect little space for our toddler. His new mini kitchen is a favorite spot for him to play. I gave the space some meaningful flair with the vintage tea towel

Whimsical Frontier Toddler + Baby Room

Whimsical Frontier Toddler + Baby Room

Designed for my toddler boy + baby girl, this room encapsulates childhood adventure and whimsy. Each child has an individualized space that was designed to appeal to their personalities. Bold patterns and bright colors unified these spaces. We all love the space tremendously and look forward to snuggle sessions in toddler’s bed every night! Some meaningful components: vintage Levi’s jacket found by my mother, 70’s
