Since we are finished with the first year of sweet little Madeline’s life, I decided to take a look back and see how her nursery has changed as she has become more and more mobile. Let me preface this post by saying that I knew when I first set up her nursery, that a lot […]
A Closet Transformation For The Princess…..
When we selected which bedroom would be our future nursery, I knew one thing right away……the closets that came with the house HAD TO GO!!! I tried for months and months to be okay with them, due to our impending budget constraints with me being on maternity leave for a year, but I finally hit […]

Mommy’s Pretty Powder Room Transformation!!!!
