    What I’m Super Into: October 2018

    I haven’t posted here in quite awhile. I’ve thought about it a lot but I haven’t really done any big projects at home since my life is pretty much dominated by just surviving since there are now five of us to worry about and it never felt like there was anything to really share. So…

  • Master Bedroom Re-Mastered

    Master Bedroom Re-Mastered

    Everyone makes mistakes. Sometimes, your first choice isn’t your best choice. Something is better than nothing. This is what I keep telling myself as I kick myself in retrospect for making a very annoying, but luckily not expensive error in decorating our master.

  • Charlie’s Black and White Woodland Nursery

    Charlie’s Black and White Woodland Nursery

    Nurseries are some of my favorite rooms to put together because they’re so fun. Charlie’s is perhaps my favorite of the three I’ve done (see Avery’s nursery here and Andrew’s nursery here) because it’s so light and bright and all the woodland creatures are so darn adorable.

    An Even Better Big Girl Room

    Happy Holidays from The Humble Nest

    This is this year’s Christmas card. I think it is one of my best yet! The space theme was inspired by mid-century atomic-era holiday designs. Designing a holiday card is one of my favorite traditions and I hope I can keep it going for years to come. I basically haven’t posted here in almost a…

    Nursery Brainstorming: Round Three

    It’s been an eternity since I’ve posted here, but I thought, hey, better late than never. My last post was about my son’s nursery before he was even born–he’s now heading towards being two and we have another little baby in the family. I’ve mostly pulled together the new guy Charlie’s nursery, but I thought I…

  • Our Built-Ins Have Landed

    Our Built-Ins Have Landed

    I’m a bit late in posting this. How late? Oh, just about 6 months or so. This second stage of renovations on our house was completed just after the master bath, but I’m just now getting around to sharing it.  What did we do? Added some built-in bookshelves around our fireplace and refaced the fireplace itself…
