Last week I had a chance to test swatch some of the colors I wanted to use for the Foyer refresh. As mentioned in the kickoff post, I was thinking about recreating Farrow & Ball’s Closet Stripe with paint or using Pale Powder. I wanted to do something bold, but after swatching this area I had to ask myself, am I really that bold?  (AI generated image created for this project)  As I embrace bolder fashion choices once again, I still find myself still drawn to subtlety in home design. I’m a modern traditionalist at heart attempting to blend my husband’s preference for minimalist ..read more

If you’ve found this post, you may be one of the many parents considering formula or adding formula to your baby’s diet. I know most moms start with the intention of wanting to use breast milk, but hey, if you’re like me, things don’t always work out and formula is thankfully there to fill in where you need it to. On our baby registry, I hadn’t initially registered for a Baby Brezza Formula Pro, and even when we transitioned to 100% formula at 8 weeks, we were still using a pitcher or making each bottle by hand.  BUT as all wives of engineers may know, techy husbands will fall in love wi ..read more

Living in our condo has been a blast, but with a new baby, nannies, and in-laws visiting all the time, we’re running out of room fast. We love our place, but it looks like we’ll be moving by the end of the summer. A friend of mine made a funny point: “your house will never look better than the day you sell it.” That got me thinking. One day, I got the urge to do a big spring clean and decided to finally hang up some art that’s been sitting around for four years. That’s when I realized I didn’t like how the entryway looked. It felt all over the place. SO, to satisfy my DIY need, I’ve joined th ..read more

When we renovated our house in 2019. Our Home Reno, we didn’t plan on being there for more than 2 years so we kept the decor pretty conservative. Fast forward 5 years, we’re still here and I’m still kicking myself for not trusting my gut to paint the cabinets green. While we eventually added a splash of green in our Dry Bar Nook, I would have loved to have pained the entire kitchen a soft sage, like Halcyon Green by Sherwin Williams. If you, like me, love the appeal of a green kitchen, I’ve created a bunch of green kitchen inspiration for you to dive head first into and linked the colors for ..read more

The most surprising thing about becoming a mother is how incredibly difficult and competitive out of the house childcare is. When my husband and I got married in 2019, a friend told me if we planned on having children to get on the daycare waitlists now. I laughed it off thinking she was joking. However, I’ve found out the hard way that she is not! We’ve been on some waitlists in Atlanta since I was 8 weeks pregnant and at the time they told me it would be 1-3 years until a spot opens up. Here we are, our son is nearly a year old and I’ve been informed that these waitlists are still 1-3 years ..read more

And while that’s all fine and good, moms spend an exhausting amount of time putting together their registry and might not want a substitute for a gift they registered for. With the millions of products marketed towards moms, it’s no wonder why putting together a baby registry, takes on average 40 hours. ONE WHOLE WORK WEEK.
