Sweet Neutral Nursery Reno for a Sweet Baby Girl
When I found out we were expecting ANOTHER little girl, I immediately started planning the nursery! I knew I wanted something calming and serene. Somewhere I could go and snuggle this sweet baby and be able to just relax and feel cozy. After doing my little girls room in pink I knew I didn’t want another pink room but I did want to add a touch of something girly. I ended up with a neutral baby girls nursery with greige walls, a sage green accent wall, and pops of pink for a feminine feel.

Upgrading Carpeted Stairs to Beautiful Wood Part 1
So I’m back at my mom’s house! If you didn’t get the chance to see the other work I’ve done here feel free to check it out now! I upgraded her builder-grade wire pantry shelves to wooden ones! And I madeover her small laundry closet to make it more functional and more beautiful! When my mom built her house, the standard was carpet on the 2nd floor, stairs, and living room. She chose to upgrade her entire first floor to engineered hardwoods but kept the carpet on the stairs and 2nd floor opting for better padding and stainmaster protection instead. Fast-forward 4 years, 2 dogs, and lots of clay later…
