What do you think of the new look on the blog? Did you notice I finally switched to a new domain? Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated in the comments.
I have a fun sneak preview of new items coming to Serena & Lily for Fall. And I've already found some Serena & Lily dupes to go with them.

Did you know that Walmart carries a bunch of awesome Serena & Lily dupes? Some of these look even better than the Serena & Lily pieces and every single one is almost half the price or less.
I'm so excited to be a guest participant again in the One Room Challenge by Better Homes and Gardens. You may recall that I participated in the Spring One Room Challenge and updated our primary bedroom. It is now a restful and relaxing Coastal Grandmillennial Primary Bedroom.
Let's take a look at how the Coastal Grandmillennial Primary Bedroom finished.
Happy Sunday! I hope that you had an amazing weekend. As a Raleigh interior designer, I recommend Samsung's The Frame Art TV to all of my clients.
I finally got around to ordering the black customizable bezel (aka a magnet frame that clips onto your Frame TV). It came in on Saturday night so this morning I started to coat it in Rub N Buff.
We accomplished a lot in our home in 2020! It's amazing how much you can get done when you are staying safe at home. I couldn't let January pass by without reflecting on last year.
Added a wall and pocket door to the loft to turn it into a bonus room. The main point of this was to help reduce the noise. Boys are LOUD when they play video games. This room still needs window treatments and more zhuzhing, but the boys love this space and there is oftentimes 6-8 boys hanging out in here.
Happy New Year! Wow! It's been a while since my last post. I have been spending more time on new client designs so that has taken away from my blogging time. I am currently working on a boy's nursery and a living room refresh.

Good morning my friends, the full reveal of our Master Bedroom is finally here! Welcome to all of you that have come here from the One Room Challenge website! I am so glad that you are here.
I have a confession, I had been delaying this post because something in the room just seemed "off." I think I finally figured out what it was.
I feel like this room makeover has taken for-ev-er! Maybe that's because we are completing it in real-time and not seeing a whole room finished in one hour like it does on HGTV. Our semi-custom curtains arrived and we are thrilled with the quality.
Happy Monday! I'm back with more of our one year housiversary updates. Geesh! We have really accomplished a lot in one year. Maybe that means that next year we will just sit back, relax and enjoy our house. Yeah right! Who am I kidding? Let's get back to the updates. Come on in!
Good morning friends! Happy Sunday! Today marks one year that we have been in our Woodland Grove house. I thought it would be fun to share all of the updates that we have made. Plus this blog is also like a scrapbook of our lives and it's an easy spot to reference when we are trying to remember what color a room is painted, etc.

This is going to be a really brief post. I am behind on my updates because Lucas turned 10 last week! We celebrated his birthday with his neighborhood buddies having a sleepover (it actually became a sleep under) then on Tuesday with a soccer game followed by lobster pasta and Nothing Bundt Cakes with Grandma. Wednesday morning at 6am Lucas had 9 teeth pulled! He was such a champ! Then Nana and Papa came to celebrate with the birthday boy Thursday evening. He said it was the best birthday ever, even with getting teeth pulled. He's the sweetest kid.
I spent most of the weekend sewing these custom pillows. I think it took me 4 hours to make this bolster pillow. 
We are on Week Four now of the Coastal Master Bedroom update. We are so close to being done that I can already see it.
Our Master Bedroom Makeover is officially underway! This is the wallpaper choice that we decided on and one of the original design boards.
