Getting the Entryway Holiday & Winter Ready: The Design + Plan

Getting the Entryway Holiday & Winter Ready: The Design + Plan

Each one of our rooms starts with a floor plan, a list of objectives and changes, a shopping list and a design board. Even the smallest rooms like our entry need a game plan to make sure our budget, aesthetic and project list are all aligned. The design for the entry is neutral and modern with lots of textures and smart storage.

The Guest Bathroom Before & After

A year after we started on this room, we finally started finishing it. Like the rest of the house, it was important to find pieces that fit our aesthetic but also fit our little budget.

Life looks like reading anything I can about protein intolerance and mast cell reactions. Life looks like playing peek-a-boo around every doorway, chair and stuffed animal. Life looks like choosing this gal and her needs and giggles before anything else. And it’s a good life.

One thing we hoped for when we were trying to buy our house was to use the space + the yard to foster community. We’ve been blown away by the relationships we’ve created with our neighbors, the ability to host friends on a whim, and the ease of entertaining tons of people in our half acre yard right in the middle of the city.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This week we’re prepping the yard to host an adoption fundraiser for our sweet, sweet brother and sister-in-law. I’m so thankful for the space to share.

Slow mornings are my favorite. ☀️

This week has been great and weird and hard and beautiful. How was yours?

I need your help. I want to start baking from scratch again. Between Hyler's food protein sensitivities and needing a hobby that doesn't have anything to do with work, making food seems like a good use of time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What are your go to vegan/allergy-friendly snacks and baked goods? I need inspiration for things to make that don't use dairy, eggs, soy, peas, tree nuts or peanuts. Gluten and oats are good. Sun butter and coconut are good. Most produce is good. Any ideas?

One of my most dreaded questions is “what do you do?” I 100% know this question comes from a place of connection and curiosity but it can be hard to answer succinctly. And by the end of my explanation and list of projects, I’m not sure if it makes any sense to the person asking.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today I was thinking about all of the amazing people I work with to write about interior design or to style images for their brands. I realized there’s a lot of common ground in what I do, even if it feels like I have way too many jobs sometimes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I get to create content for creative people. That’s what I do. And second to being Hyler’s mama, it’s a good job.

Traveling this weekend for the first time without this tiny person (okay, not THIS tiny anymore). It’s a strange feeling. And feels even more surreal to be traveling to celebrate with & say goodbye to the @designsponge team.

So many emotions mixed in with early morning flying mode.
