Brooks and Ellis newborn pictures...

We had the best time with our sweet and amazingly talented friend, Elisa Copeland of Elisa Michelene Photography as she took the best pictures of our precious boys. We also snagged a couple shots of the whole family and my heart couldn't be more full!! Thank you Elisa for these precious treasures! 

Hadley's finished room

I am ONE step closer to getting my big camera back out and in action but today I snapped a few shots of Hadley's completed big girl room on my iPhone. I posted a sneak peak of her room about a year ago that you can see HERE. She's been in her room an embarrassing 18 months and I FINALLY finished it! She LOVES her big girl room and has done so wonderfully in it. She never gets up when she isn't supposed to and is always so brave being in that big bed all by herself. Here are a few pictures (bad lighting and bad camera) and sources below...

House Tour: Laundry Room

SO after 13 months of living in our home I finally have the first room 100% complete! It feels great! Too bad it is quite possibly the least exciting room... the laundry room. I am on a tight budget to decorate this place so I had to try to work with what I had. I went to Homerama Louisville 2013 and was so excited to see my VERY FAVORITE home store in Louisville listed as one of the designers. The store is Tassles, and they decorated an entire house in Homerama which you can see here. They really can do NO wrong in my eye. I always love their bold color choices, bold patterns and how they pull everything together perfectly with the most southern charm. You should check their facebook page out. They are pricey but stunning. I fell in love with the coral/tangerine color that they had in their kitchen so I called and got the paint color and used it in my laundry room. It was Benjamin Moore color and while I can't for the life of me remember the name, I am on the hunt to find it! I have lots of coral in my living room which is more of a pinky coral and this laundry room is a very orange coral but I love it! Here is a break down and transformation of the space as well as a source list..


Here is the beautiful orange paint color I fell in love with in Louisville... 

Here is our Laundry room before...

I tried a few swatches that were all FAILS...

And after...

Our laundry room is pretty much a passthrough to our garage. Its just a little larger than a closet. The door you are looking at (above) leads to our garage and the doorway I am standing in taking the photo leads to a small hallway where our master bedroom and half bath are located that leads into our family room. You have just enough room to open the doors on either end and that is it, but I am SO thankful for this wonderful space.

 Taken from the entry to our master bedroom with our gray half bath next door. 

Above: View from our garage.

The door to the right is a coat closet and the door straight ahead is our bedroom. If you walk down the little hallway to the left you would walk right into our living room.
