LL Bean Holiday

When I think New England winter wardrobe, I think LL Bean! Their clothes have such a cozy rustic feel. Nothing makes me want to snuggle up by the fireplace like a browse through the LL Bean catalog. Don't you   agree?!

Winter Beauty

It's amazing that in a season where the trees are basically bare and the ground is sparse, such beauty still remains! My hubby and I went for one last hike to the reservoir near our home. While he attempted to catch one more fish for the year I gathered a bag of goods for a wreath. With little Avalyn bundled in the Bjorn, I walked the lake-side trail, enjoying the quiet and chill in the air, clipping and collecting what interesting things I found. The outcome was so rewarding. Not because of the wreath itself, necessarily...it's a tad lop-sided...but because of the memories of the time spent with my family in order to make it!







I wish you all sweet time with loved ones this Holiday season! If you find yourself alone I challenge you to reach out to someone that may benefit from a little extra love. Tis the season!!

Nursery Inspiration

The bedroom has been officially cleaned and is ready to be moved into! I'm up with my cup of (decaf) coffee and am browsing for a little nursery inspiration. There's soo much cute stuff  out there!!!

Although I think its a little too elegant for our taste, I love the clean and soft look that all the different whites bring, as well as the vintage feel in this nursery from the Savio Firmino collection.




(And who wouldn't want to rest their tired toes on this cozy rug?!)
See more here.

Speaking of vintage appeal, check out this sweet nursery designed by Kelli Murray.





So sweet, love it! More here.

Though I'm showing lots of white furniture, ours is actually dark mahogany..We chose this based on the beautiful changing table that my best friend from high school, Silvia, handed down to us. 
Here's a fun, neutral design by A Peltier Interiors in California.


Ok, off to my weekly OB appointment, then back to start up again on that room!
