Moody Green Toddler Room

I’ll say it again: I’d be happy exclusively designing kids rooms forever. There isn’t a funner space to create, especially for my own growing boy who I’ve gotten to know for 3 years now. My primary goal was creating a room that reflects him and what he likes, where you look in here and think, “That looks like Orion!” Functionally what we needed most was ample storage for all his stuff while leaving plenty of floor space for play. Beyond that, the design inspiration was modern shapes and curves, playful details, and pieces he could easily grow with.

Switching out bedding is the simplest way to transform the entire mood of the bedroom while also being the best alternative to decorating for the changing season. It’s like being hugged by the colors and textures of the new season- what could be a more cozy way to welcome fall! I’ve partnered with Target to feature some of my favorite picks from Threshold’s Fall Collection, all shown here giving our bedroom a moody textural update with a few simple changes.

OUR BACKYARD PLANS

We’re finally starting to make some progress on our backyard updates so it’s about time I shared the plans! We had some renderings done by Yardzen to get a general idea of how the changes will look and for the most part this is what we’re doing, however some details have changed now that we have an even better idea of what our needs are in the year that has passed since.

READING NOOK

This post is sponsored by AllModern.

While creating a reading nook was the driving force for updating this corner, I would more so now call this a relaxation corner. Conducive to quiet reading, yes, and a little hideaway to take my cup of coffee to while aimlessly swiveling around in that chair, also yes! I partnered with AllModern to create this corner escape, confident that they’d have beautiful pieces with the minimal modern design I’m always seeking to incorporate in all parts of our home. They’re one of my most trusted furniture and decor source since the beginning, where I know I’ll find what I’m looking for with the added major perk of fast and free shipping! Stick around til the end of this post for all my reading nook picks from their summer catalog.

Modern Play Kitchen: IKEA DUKTIG Hack

Do the dreams you had when you were a kid still stick with you? One of mine was having my own play kitchen, and what better way to make it come true than for your own kid?? I was so eager to put this play kitchen together. It brings me incredible joy and felt like it was possibly more for myself than it was for my son (ok fine, it’s for me!!) but so far he’s already having a lot of fun with it and it makes me melt!

Newborn Essentials: 0-3 Months

A comprehensive list of everything we relied on and used a lot during Orion’s first 3 months of life! I know I titled this post “essentials” but a lot of this can be more accurately categorized as “nice to have” or “to make life easier for the parents” or “things we used and why they worked for us and what didn’t work.” My main goal with this is to be thorough and not to say that you have to have all this stuff. A baby’s essentials are food, sleep, comfort, and love, and everything else beyond that is about preference, yours and baby’s- can’t be said enough that all moms and babies are different, and what worked for someone else may not work for you. As a first time mom I ended up trying a lot more things than I ended up needing so there’s a lot that I cover in this post. Thus, let this be a guide and not a rule book. Whether you’re prepping for your own soon to come little one or building your registry, these are the things that worked for us.
