Nothing more satisfying than finishing a room, especially when you do it with the help of your favorite home brand, serenaandlily! 🥰 Nine months ago, I remember hormonally crying when I ended up going into labor on moving day because we hadn’t been able to set up the nursery in time. 🙈 The whole thing was chaos. A total disaster—in my mind, at least. It was the opposite of what I’d envisioned happening! I’d wanted to be ready; calm; in complete control. Instead, two major life events were occurring on the same day, and it was just a little too much for my pregnant self to handle. Also, I was really hungry and the nurses wouldn’t let me eat. Cue the waterworks. 😂⁣
⁣
My in-laws swooped in, though, and while we were in the hospital, they unpacked the entire house and even decorated with what they could find in the boxes. 😭 I can’t tell you how much it meant. To walk through the front door with our newest member of the family, for example, and feel that we were, in fact, *home.* To open a drawer and find the silverware. To walk into Lucy’s room and see the crib and bed set up; the toys neatly arranged; the clothes hanging in the closets.⁣

Thank you, John and Lisa! ♥️⁣

It took a lot of time and planning, but nine months later, Lucy’s room is everything I hoped it would be for our little girl, and it truly sparks joy when I walk into it. 😉 I love that it functions as a guest room, too, because living far from family is tough and we want to be able to host our parents comfortably!

Today on the blog, I’m teaming up with #serenaandlily to show you how we recently made Lucy *and* Emma’s rooms guest-ready for family and friends. (They double up when we have guests, btw, or if both rooms are in use, they sleep in the office.) With their bedding, mirrors, decor and bath essentials, the rooms are now cozy, warm and inviting. And MOM AND DAD/JOHN AND LISA, we can’t wait for you to come! Link in profile for all the updates! http://liketk.it/2JMq5 #liketkit liketoknow.it #SLPartner
