Dream Living Rooms

Perhaps because Isla’s nursery is complete, I am super itchy to redo our living room. I have been scouring the internet for inspiration… probably much to Sasha’s dismay! We’ve only been in our house for a year, but there are many things I would like to change. In a few years, we plan to do a custom build, and I want to have every single room mapped out before we design anything. The living room is where we spend most time (second to the kitchen, which might be surpassed by Isla’s nursery right now!), so that would be where I focused most of my attention. I also want to build a toy room, as I am a freak about baby ‘stuff’ cluttering up the house. Our good friends are turning their office into a nursery – super jealous (although I love our study!!). Some of my favorite living rooms are posted below – including my sister’s newly renovated home. What do you think? Are these your style? Sasha finds it a tad girly, but he’s generally okay with letting me make design decisions (not so much with art!).

PS We are headed to Durango today! So excited for this new chapter in our lives.

World’s Cutest Birthday Party Invitations

I saw these 1st birthday party invitations on Oh So Beautiful Paper, and immediately had a hunch as to who created them. They are the work of Melissa at Atheneum Creative (see these pop-up birth announcements and these bow-tie party invitations) – and I love them. All of the accompanying “branded” material is so cute as well – let’s talk about those ‘favorites’ napkins – could those be any cuter? I want my birthday parties to be this decorated. While I’m scared of Isla growing up too quickly, I’m excited to plan her first birthday party! First-Birthday-Party-Invitation-Atheneum-Creative

Dinner, Drinks and Jazz – Rehearsal Dinner Invitations

The geniuses at Papellerie are at it again – designing by far the coolest rehearsal dinner invitation I’ve ever seen (does anything else even compare?). When I saw these gorgeous New Orleans themed invitations on their website, I died. They are perfect. I love the box, the whiskey, the recipe, and the invitation. How impressive is this? There must have been a lot of very happy recipients!

Biscuit-Home-Inspired Cactus Nursery

I went to Biscuit Home’s new store on Friday (post to come soon!), and I left wanting a second baby quickly – and a boy. All because of these Marfa Crib Sheets. Y’all – I’m in love! Sasha likes them too, so I think I’m going to buy them just in case we ever have a boy. Ha, total crazy 39+ week pregnant move. I cringe at all Google and Pinterest search results for “Cowboy theme nursery” – yikes, not my style. But I do love the idea of having a clean, modern Texas-cowboy-cactus theme room – a little teepee, some succulents, cactus prints, a framed sheriff badge, etc. I put together a little inspiration college in case we ever have a boy down the line (it will be awhile before I want to be pregnant again!).

PS I told Sasha about this post, and he laughed. I’m definitely getting ahead of myself here. C’mon Miss Isla! Due date is June 4!

Oh and I just found this incredible rustic alphabet chest of drawers, and I would absolutely need it!

Red, White and Blue at Baby Gap

I absolutely love Baby Gap. Their selection of infant clothing is so irresistibly cute, so imagine my excitement when I got a gift card to Gap as part of a recent baby present – especially given their adorable selection of red, white and blue items. My mind skips right ahead to July Fourth… what shall she wear? I am quite aware that dressing up babies is more fun before she is here and making a mess out of everything, but I’m rather in love with clothing, so hope she will (eventually) be too! I put together a few patriotic get-ups using some of the their new arrivals. I love the hats! I’ve already bought her a few. The little chambray espadrilles melt my heart.

Sasha, you’re in trouble (wink, wink).
