So my baby just moved out, and I can’t wait to show you her apartment! She wants me to take photos of her apartment, so I’ll be shooting it soon. Today, I wanted to finally share her old room, which is now my new sitting room. We didn’t put a bed back here because when […]
Updates to the Blue Bedroom
I’m so excited to show you the updates to our bedroom. I’ve been adding color and pattern slowly to the room. I still love my fairly neutral palette, but the blues and pinks go so well with what I had already in the room. I started with a neutral bedspread and neutral curtains, so the […]
