Emma always finds the best sunny spots ☀️ I gave our sofa a quick refresh by adding more stuffing to the cushions and a few new pillows (the studio McGee x Target ones have been a fav!) ✨

I also joined a group of bloggers to give a $500 giftcard to Target tonight! There’s so many new cute spring arrivals 🌸 and it’s super easy to enter:

1. FOLOW ME and @modernmomgiveaways AND EVERYONE @modernmomgiveaways is following.
2. LIKE and BOOKMARK the Target photo on @modernmomgiveaways feed.
3. TAG at least one friend OR if you comment with how close the nearest Target is to you (mine is conveniently 10 minutes away!)

Each friend you tag on their feed is an additional entry. Max 20.
.
.
CONTEST ENDS: THIS FRIDAY 4/16/21 🗓

Like a kid in a candy store 😍 Creating a custom jacket with @mira_couture was like a dream come true! We used a gorgeous Chanel tweed for the fabric with lace and pearl details ✨ It is by far my favorite thing in my closet! Swipe for the video to see more 👉🏻

Ps. The video was filmed last year (pre pandemic) and I wanted to wait for brighter days to share ~ More details on https://shiningondesign.com/creating-a-custom-jacket-with-mira-couture/

Look who’s “swimming” around! 🌊

Danny just turned 7 months and on the move! He’s not quite crawling yet but scooting on his tummy everywhere (he can’t wait to start chasing his big sisters!) And speaking of, his big sisters, one of the 3 took scissors ✂️ and tore through my favorite cane back chair 🙄
The repair costs more than the chair but I’m finding other uses for the leftover cane. I added a little accent with it on this table and I think it was meant to be.
When life gives you lemons I guess.. 😆🙃 Happy Friday (and spring break for us!)

We recently redid our basement guest bedroom! Just in time for our guests that arrive in 2 days!! 💫 I wanted to brighten things up, add lots of texture and plenty of lighting since the natural light is at a minimum.

One of my favorite things about this space are the resilient and eco-friendly floors. (They make the entire room feel less like a basement! 🙂 )

If you are thinking about redoing your floors, I encourage you to take a look at @responsiblefloors (one of my blog sponsors and a member of the Resilient Floor Covering Institute) for plenty of inspiration and helpful information!

More details on our guest room makeover are on the blog ~ link in bio! ✨ #flooring #homedesign #sustainableliving #guestbedroom #sponsored #beautifullyresponsible

Happy first day of Spring! 🌸

Looking back at this project from a couple years ago makes me excited to get back to designing again 💓 I loved helping select the finishes for this new build and styling the kitchen was the icing on the cake! Details on shiningondesign.com (search “kitchen styling” for the post with my favorite tips)

Ps. Insta changed their algorithm again 🤪 if you see this post, and want to see more, please like and SAVE (it helps small accounts like mine so much!!) 😘!

Currently watching snow & hail fall outside (just when we thought spring was around the corner!) and dreaming about a vacay 🥰 I saved this as inspo from my one of my fav places to visit 💓. If you could *safely* travel anywhere right now, where would it be? 🤍

Ps. Can’t wait to go back to PC next year. Eric proposed 9 years ago there so we’ll be celebrating 10 next yr 🎿 @mountainlivingconcierge mark your calendar! #designblogger #homedecor #interiordesign #grandmillenialstyle #pursuepretty
