When working full-time with clients, one reoccurring pain-point I would often hear was about fixtures. Namely light fixtures. So I wanted to do a deep dive into our dining room light fixtures and explain why we chose them, where they’re from, and why I chose the finishes that I did.

When we started on the dining room makeover, I knew I wanted to incorporate pieces that felt like they’ve always been a part of our 1920’s home.

I’m not going to sugar coat this…paint colors are obnoxiously overwhelming and can feel like you’re stepping into some psychedelic dream when you walk into the paint section of your local home improvement store (way too many paint samples am I right?). BUT ALAS, I am here to help save the day so the next time you can walk STRAIGHT to that paint counter and order your color like a BOSS!

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! 

I wanted this space to be one that reflected neutrality, and comfort while still reflecting affordability. I know how expensive these spaces can be and that is why I hope to share with you some of my buying secrets so you too can achieve an affordable space like this!

For the longest time I was wanting to do floor to ceiling board and batten walls and so when it came time to start thinking about nursery details I called in a favor from my hubby to make this vision come to life. And like always, he did NOT disappoint. We will be doing a tutorial soon here so that you guys can take the board and batten plunge if your heart so desires!
