It was a beautiful day today! We started with the girls’ last soccer clinic and ended with dinner outside. It was an awfully long winter this year and I kept saying I couldn’t wait for warm weather so now I’ll have to try not to complain about the heat! (I have a small window of comfort - less than 65 and I’m cold, more than 70 and I’m hot!) 😂 http://liketk.it/2Cfw3 #liketkit @liketoknow.it

I added some purple to the girls’ room last spring, because ever since she could express her opinion, purple has been Lucie’s favorite color. (And pink Evie’s). I was just informed a few days ago that they “switched” favorite colors. Thankfully that means they’ll both still be excited to stick with this color scheme. 😅 http://liketk.it/2BFGd #liketkit @liketoknow.it

We have not had a lot of sunny days this spring, but thankfully today was one of them! Our 4 month old seems to like being outside just as much as his sisters. We have spent a lot of time in the sunroom though, which is at least close to being outside! http://liketk.it/2BEbN #liketkit @liketoknow.it

When we moved in three years ago, my sister told me I should paint the cabinets dark and replace the island with a kitchen table. I said I wanted to keep the island and I painted the cabinets white...I’ve always been a bit slower (at everything in life) and it normally takes me a few years to come around to her ideas. But thankfully I think these table & chair picks from @birchlane will be current even in three more years! #BLTimelessTraditions http://liketk.it/2Bn8V #liketkit @liketoknow.it

This room is about to feel a lot different! The big glass door is going to come out on Friday and it will be open to the sunroom. We no longer have places where you can put your hand through from the sunroom to the outside 😳 and we’re putting a wood stove in the sunroom so it will be nice and toasty now in the winter! We can’t wait! http://liketk.it/2yUCB #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Happy Sunday! I can’t believe it’s only 2 weeks til Christmas! The fresh greenery in this room is from our woods and it lasted a while but is due now for a refresh...free greenery is the best greenery! 😊 http://liketk.it/2yIPr #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Happy Sunday! Can’t wait to pull out the big star pendants for the girls’ room this week and Christmas it up! http://liketk.it/2xZm3 #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Christmas decorating with my helper! She helped me clip the greenery outside yesterday and then set up this spot...this is where we moved the rolling shelf (you can see where it was last Christmas in the previous post). They keep their Hatchimals in the hat boxes and I’m going to leave the two polka dotted @target baskets at the bottom empty for now so all the random clutter that ends up on the playroom floor will have a place to go! http://liketk.it/2y9KW #liketkit @liketoknow.it

I found the little dollhouse on the dresser at a secondhand store for $12 and thought it would be perfect for a nursery, back when I thought we were having another girl...but now the girls have two dollhouses! (Which is fine because we left this one out in the rain after we painted it, so it’s not very structurally sound.) 😉 http://liketk.it/2xZuH #liketkit @liketoknow.it

We have almost made it through the first week of Everly being in kindergarten. Her sister and I miss her but we have kept ourselves busy - I’m so glad it’s Friday and it’s a 3 day weekend! http://liketk.it/2xa81 #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Good morning! We spend the most time in this room, and a lot of it is on the couch. We looked at sectionals in magazines and online and considered a few others but ended up going with this @ikeausa Ektorp sectional because the price was unbeatable. We have had it now for about five years and it has held up really well! http://liketk.it/2w2AM #liketkit @liketoknow.it

I always spy things underneath the beds after I take photos, but they are reminders that the room isn’t normally this tidy anyway! My three year old doesn’t seem to be able to pick out a dress-up outfit until every last one is out of the bench and on the floor. http://liketk.it/2w1IM #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Good morning from Gertrude! (The photo peeking out from the gallery wall in the entry.) http://liketk.it/2vW66 #liketkit @liketoknow.it

After my husband built the frame for this corner bench, I used an old foam cushion I had and cut it into two pieces, covered them, and made simple skirts that lift up to store 4 decent sized baskets. We keep legos, doll clothes, and other little toys under there and I can’t tell you how happy it makes me when they all disappear at the end of the day! http://liketk.it/2vYFC #liketkit @liketoknow.it

It has been another busy week with a couple mid-week events that have changed up the routine (including the youngest of all our cousins getting married last night!) and even though it’s been fun I’m looking forward to a normal night together at home tomorrow! http://liketk.it/2vPct #liketkit @liketoknow.it

The playroom is pretty small, so it’s hard to get a full room shot. Here it is from the built-in desk side of the room, which I haven’t shown in full because I can’t get my husband to organize all his clutter on the desk. 😉 (I actually haven’t gotten my act together either and organized mine, but it’s not as bad as his side!) http://liketk.it/2vMuV #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Today was productive! I’m almost done with the bench/sectional in the corner of the playroom that we are going to use as a reading corner and also to store toys under. Ever since we did the playroom it has been hard to keep it tidy (we took an ikea storage piece out) but this should make a big difference! http://liketk.it/2vFxj #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Monday blues 💙 http://liketk.it/2vzlL #liketkit @liketoknow.it

My plan to tidy today got derailed. Instead, we spent the last day of spring vacation making a mess in every room. I suppose they are only young once. Once...which is about as many times as all rooms have been tidy simultaneously since we moved in. 😬 Decluttering is starting next week! http://liketk.it/2vxWI #liketkit @liketoknow.it

The girls were gone last night and I slept in today until almost 9, 🙌🏻 but the house does feel a little empty and eerily quiet without them in it. While we certainly appreciate our “alone time,” we’re glad to have our sweet girls back in these beds tonight! http://liketk.it/2vt4Z #liketkit @liketoknow.it

So looking forward to afternoons in the sunroom this week! I think it’s finally going to feel like spring! http://liketk.it/2vsha #liketkit @liketoknow.it

I love these beautiful pillows that @joliemarche sent and the way they are tying in a little more purple to the girls’ room this spring! One’s favorite color is pink and the other’s is purple so these make them both happy! 💗 http://liketk.it/2vqWB #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Happy Sunday! http://liketk.it/2vnHP #liketkit @liketoknow.it

As Easter is approaching, here’s my secret to easy entertaining: I let everyone else bring the food! It helps to have a mother and mother-in-law who are significantly better cooks than yourself. Then no one really wants you to make anything anyway! 😉 http://liketk.it/2vbDm #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Here’s an old picture of the other side of their room. It’s usually where I push clutter and there’s a radiator under the window (which I blocked with the dollhouse) so I don’t often photograph it. The Gatsby quote on the trim from when it was my great uncle’s library was stuck on, but I’ve been thinking lately about painting over it with the cabinet color and rewriting the words again in gold so it blends in better. On the other hand, I might ruin it. I can’t decide! http://liketk.it/2v9EZ #liketkit @liketoknow.it

I’m not sure who is most excited about the new storage benches that @luluandgeorgia sent for our girls’ room- I love the way they perfectly match the shade of pink in the rug, and my daughters love that the ban on climbing onto the bed from the ends has been lifted. We used to have @ikeausa wicker trunks at the ends and those were great for storing dress up clothes, but near to collapsing due to all the children climbing on them (in complete disregard to the ban!) 😉 I love that these still have storage but are also sturdy, too! http://liketk.it/2v8Ai #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Time seems to move faster on the weekends. This one flew right by! I have to say, when I first rolled this rug out it felt a little bold, but I have fallen in love with it! I think it’s good to go outside of your own box once in a while! (Rug @luluandgeorgia, sideboard, mirror, and pendant are secondhand or antique, my brother built the bench, and all sources are tap-tagged and linked when possible with @liketoknow.it ) http://liketk.it/2v7TH #liketkit

I love the way the new rug @luluandgeorgia sent instantly makes the sunroom feel like spring! This room is starting to get warmed up on sunny afternoons- I can feel spring coming! Sources are linked and tagged (the mirror, sideboard, and pendant were found at secondhand or antique stores). http://liketk.it/2v6GN #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Happy Friday! Looking forward to another busy, fun weekend and hopefully a few relaxing moments too! Sources are tap tagged and linked. http://liketk.it/2v5Wg #liketkit @liketoknow.it

The rug from @plushrugs and this creative play space (the girls do art project and play school here, but I have other ideas for the future!) my brother @dearlillie and husband built have been done for a little while, but my in-laws helped with the accent wall on the other side of the room this weekend and I can’t wait to share it! I absolutely adore it! http://liketk.it/2v2tt #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Looking forward to my corner and my scone and mourning all the losses my bracket has suffered today! I am not one of those people who enjoys upsets and roots for the underdog - I am one of those people who really wants iced mocha money! http://liketk.it/2v2en #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Happy Sunday! I really wish that decorating for spring would have some effect on its arrival, but it seems to be ignoring me! Sources are tap tagged and linked. http://liketk.it/2v11T #liketkit @liketoknow.it

When you think you erase all evidence of the fact that every book in the house was all over the couch and ottoman for two snow days...well, think again! http://liketk.it/2uZwC #liketkit @liketoknow.it

After at least a week of sleeping propped upright on the couch due to a bad cough, I was so happy to return to our new @lexingtoncompany bedding a few nights ago! I chose Poplin because it is easy to wash, it doesn’t wrinkle, and it is soft but it still has that crisp feeling that I love bedding to have - can you tell I missed sleeping in my bed? 😊 #sleepwelllivewell http://liketk.it/2uYF5 @liketoknow.it #liketkit #ad #mylexingtonstyle #lexingtoncompany
