Gender Neutral Shared Space with PBK & PB Teen
I am super excited to have partnered with Pottery Barn Kids and PB Teen on this gender neutral space; together they allowed us to creatively and magically design a space that fit both kids needs. My intention and desire for this room was to give both kids a fun “learning & growing” corner, as well as, a sweet and gender neutral bedding refresh that complimented my daughters femininity with my sons “rough and tumble” character. It am so excited with how it all turned out! I have linked all the product at the bottom of this post!
Outdoor Decorating Tips & Tricks
When it comes to outside landscape and decor, I get EXTREMELY overwhelmed. Like not just a little bit but A LOT a bit. I never know what to choose, or how to pair different plants; what needs sun and what needs shade, how much water to give and how do you know when it’s time to “feed” them again. You see what I’m saying? It’s just A LOT to think about and often times just the thought of it can deter you from it all together.
