2017 Hackberry Lane, Nashville, TN Every once in a while, a house comes along that just makes people smile. This sweet pink cottage in East Nashville is one of those homes. It’s cozy, full of charm, and tucked into one of the most walkable and loved pockets of the neighborhood. What I love about this […]

Happy New Year, friends. 2025 has come and gone, and somehow we are already well into the new year. I have big goals for this season and a lot to look forward to, but one project in particular has me especially excited. Not only because it is in East Nashville (my favorite place), but because […]

Nurseries will alway be some of my favorite design projects. I think I could design a hundred of them and keep finding new ways to make a simple room special. One of my favorite parts about design is problem solving–finding ways to make a space work more efficiently for a client and their family. Two […]

Last year at this time, I was navigating my first Christmas as a mom, figuring out what working and coming back from maternity leave looked like, and just generally taking care of an 8 month old. I took nearly zero photos of our Christmas decor. While this is completely fine, I missed it, so this […]

I may have to turn in my millenial woman card for this… but I’m not a pumpkin spice gal. I LOVE autumn, leaves, pumpkin patches, and all things cozy, but when it comes to pumpkin spice… I just don’t get it. I love to bake something with pumpkin once or twice a season, and I […]

The air and leaves are getting crisp, Halloween decorations are coming out, but the real seasonal change for me comes when I start making my morning lattes hot again instead of iced like I do all summer. I love fall (who doesn’t?) even though in Nashville it’s still warm and will be for a while. […]

This title is a little misleading, because I’ve already shared the details of all of our hardware from Signature Hardware in this blog, which included the bathroom fixtures. But I’d be remiss if I didn’t dedicate an entire blog post to my favorite room in the carriage house, the bathroom.  Our main house was built […]

It seems like everyone and their mother has a stock tank pool these days. During the early pandemic, they took the world by storm as an affordable alternative to an in-ground pool that was more aesthetically pleasing than a big blue vinyl monstrosity above-ground. A quick search on Pinterest will show you endless ways that […]

In 2019, we bought a fixer upper in our dream neighborhood. It had active roof leaks in five rooms, needed a new sewer line the day after we closed, and had a host of other problems, not the least of which was the back yard situation. It was swampy in the summer, muddy in the […]

When it came to the beds in the carriage house, I wanted to make sure our guests had the best experience possible. The bedrooms are on the smaller side, and have sloped ceilings due to the dormers, so space was limited. Our Airbnb manager told us that they have more frequent bookings for properties with at least one king sized bed, so we decided to put a king bed in one room and a queen bed with a sitting area in the other. Let’s start today with the queen bedroom.
