Mint and Pink Floral Shared Girl Bedroom | Beautiful & Functional
I’m so excited to finally get to reveal the final phase of our shared girl bedroom with you! It’s the perfect balance of function and beauty. It’s been a long time coming. We worked so hard to get it done before Summer arrived, but unfortunately, we didn’t meet that deadline.

Backyard Picnic – Working with What You’ve Got
Since COVID-19 started we have been doing project after project. Its really been non-stop around here. The thing is, as much as we incorporate the girls, they just don’t wake up and think about how fun it’s going to be to paint the walls, sand a bookcase or replace cabinets with open shelves. So I decided I wanted to do something special for them. I wanted them to know how much I loved and appreciated them. I thought a fun way to do that was to have a fun backyard picnic for dinner. Initially, I thought that I couldn’t do it because the garden wasn’t in full bloom. Everything was…

Pressed Flower Art | Beautiful Decor with A Vintage Feel
I’ve pressed flowers before. I remember doing it when I was a little girl. These memories are why I decided to do it with my girls. It’s such a simple activity that creates the most beautiful memories. It all started when I was in the back storage room trying to organize it a bit.

When I saw this I knew it was the perfect time to pull them out and create some pressed flower art to get us through the last stretch of winter. Is it me or does it always feel like winter just won’t…
