This weekend we made a ton of progress and knocked off a ton of items off my to-do list.
When I decided to move my office settee to Hudson’s nursery I was left with a pretty blank slate in my office.
{Don’t worry we had it recovered for the little man.}
We moved our daybed into the settee space in my office and it needs some fabric and this weekend I finalized a new old fabric for my office:
{Vintage find from West Palm Beach.}
Then we worked on Hudson’s nursery and took this dentil valance from this:
To this:
To finally this finished product:
After all of that work we needed to treat ourselves to some cookies:
I also added some more pieces to the massive gallery wall in our teeny half bathroom:
We also finished up a DIY lucite shadowbox project for one of Hudson’s newborn outfits:
After all of that work we decided to relax on Sunday and hit the beach where my two men decided to do a little fishing.
{Seriously, is this not the cutest thing?}
Last night ended with a wonderful surprise when I found out I had snagged a ticket to the NY Alt Summit after party being held at Martha Stewart headquarters. (Speaking of Martha have you headed over to check out this sale inspired by the Queen herself?)
I’m still bummed I wasn’t able to get into the summit for the lectures, but it’s amazing that I can still enjoy a bit of it.
Anyone else headed to Alt this week?
I’m off at the gift show today, but stay tuned for posts on the show, diy posts on the projects featured above and my thrift store hit list from West Palm Beach.
I cannot wait to see all of the new updates for Hudson! I am in love with the valance and that lucite shadow box is just precious! How did you make that and where oh where did you snag the materials?? Love it! Thanks so much for sharing!
I hope you’re going to do a how-to, or at least source list, of the shadowbox! I love that idea and I’d love to do it with some of my mom’s old pointe shoes!
So glad you snagged a spot to the Alt Party! Doesn’t it sound like fun? I got lucky too, and will be there for the day & then the party. I don’t know if you remember, but a few years back, you were so kind to me by inviting me to Shecky’s Beauty Night Out & then sharing your goody bag! 🙂
Well, looking forward to Thursday!!
your little boy is just adoreable. my little fella is 7 months old and time is flying. I love to come to your site for inspiration. you are always tackling great projects and challenging me in my design business to continue to think out of the box. I must know how you did the diy lucite box!! I am wanting to “frame” an outfit of my baby’s as well as our christening gown.

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
In our new home, the basement was completely unfinished. It was literally one of those dark spaces that you see in horror movies and are terrified of getting locked into. However, with the square footage in this house, I knew I needed to make the basement another workable and liveable floor of the house instead […]
The time has come to finally share our new kitchen reveal. For those of you that have been with us from the beginning, we bought a house right before the pandemic hit. It was a total gut job from top to bottom. We started our demo and then the world shut down. Enter the delays […]
Picking out paint colors for a new home can be overwhelming. I find that many times when I meet with a new client the entire house is simply just painted white or a light gray. Now, I think there is a time and place for those colors, but with paint, there is just so much […]
What to look for when it comes to picking out kitchen appliances: Leave room in your budget for appliances. When it comes to kitchen renovations everyone knows that the cabinetry and the labor of demoing and installing cabinetry is going to eat a lot of your budget. However, the second most expensive part of a […]
I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that designing a kitchen is an overwhelming undertaking. I’m an interior designer and even I find it stressful to iron out all of those details. So, when it comes time to design a kitchen I always like to partner with a kitchen designer to make sure I’m remembering […]

Wow — you accomplished so much this weekend. That’s awesome! And I love the picture of your two boys fishing. So very sweet. 🙂 Happy Monday!
How did you make the lucite shadow box? Love it!
that vintage fabric is to die for! I can’t wait to see the finished product.
That looks like a fun project filled weekend. I really like the valance for your son’s room. I need to figure out how to make one for my living room.
That dentil molding is AWESOME!
Hudson is looking SO adorable lately!! Those eyes! Heavens.
Wasn’t that baby just born? Beach shot is adorable
Ah I know. It feels like Hudson was just a week old, but sadly he is now 8 months old. It’s going so fast!!!
i LOVED the fishing with Dad picture. This child has grown up so fast I do not know how you stand it.!!!!
I’m SO excited we finally get to meet in person at the Alt party!! Make sure you say hi!
I hope you’re going to do a how-to, or at least source list, of the shadowbox! I love that idea and I’d love to do it with some of my mom’s old pointe shoes!
Hey Camila!
