Friday Favorites {Week #4}

Filed Under: Photography

I had the opportunity to photograph sweet Charlotte. I love her name, her nursery, her family and her. They were so cute and awesome to work with. Her mom is VERY crafy and did an awesome job on her nursery. It was so bright and colorful. If we have another baby I am soooo doing the grey and yellow. I just love it! Here are just a FEW of my favorites from this session. It was very hard to choose just a couple. I shared more on my facebook page. I am sure I will be sharing more soon!

  

Favorite Posts:

I am giving away a $10 shop credit to my new shop over on Eisley Rae’s blog along with some other really awesome prizes. Make sure you check it out.

I love these DIY Picture Matte Frame Boards that Fancy Little Things shared.

Love all the great lunch ideas Meagan shared on her blog. I need these since Dustyn will be starting real full-time preschool the day after Labor Day. Eeekkk!!

Kat made an awesome baby registry checklist that would come in handy with anyone expecting.

These photos Jenni shared at the OBX makes me regret not going yet this year. Hope to change that next week.

I have two giveaways going on right now. Don’t miss them!

Plus, he researched for hours how to do ceramic coating so now the paint is protected and it should be easier to keep clean. The photo does not do it justice. It’s super slick and shiny.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
