<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi guys! So last year I totally dropped the ball with planning a meaningful Father's day, and I promised myself I would not let that happen again this year! Personally, I feel like this has been the hardest "holiday" to shop for so I put together a little Father's Day gift guide to help those of you who may be like me and totally wait until the last minute on these things... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are leaving for the beach for a week on Saturday so I'll be packing Wesley's Father's Day surprise up with us! I can't think of a better way to spend the day with family at the beach :) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What are your plans to celebrate? Any fun ideas for gifts? I'd love to hear! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi ya'll! I know I've M.I.A. for the past few weeks and I just wanted to check in with you all, see how you are doing and fill you in on a few things. I hope you're still checking this little blog every now and then, because even though I go through dry spells, I do love having this place as an outlet, and sharing it with you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyways, with the weather getting so much nicer, we've been packing up every weekend and either heading down to Deltaville (my safe haven) or the beach (OBX). So we haven't had much progress around the house... other than packing/unpacking and grocery shopping each week, not much is getting done around here. However, we are staying around this weekend so hopefully we will finally finish up the new pantry and get a thorough cleaning done!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was reading <a href="http://emilyaclark.com/2015/06/experiencing-the-shift.html" target="_blank">this</a> post this morning and it really resonated with how I am feeling right now in my family life. Harrison is growing up so quickly, and although he's not quite in the toddler phase yet, he's not really a baby anymore either. This time last year (he was only 5 mos old) I barely had a second in the day to take for myself, but it went by so quickly and now (he's almost 1 1/2 yrs old) I finally picked up my kindle again over the weekend and actually started (<i>and finished last night</i>) a book. Just this morning, he rode all the way to work, sitting in his car seat, drinking his sippy cup of milk and "reading" his book about 'eyes'. I could not wipe the goofy smile off my face, while I was watching him in the rear view mirror... he looked so grown up! These little milestones - every new word he says, every new tooth he gets (that we <i><b>all</b></i> work so hard for), and even finding time to do things for myself again, make me so so proud of my little family. I guess I've just been feeling super sentimental lately and reading that post this morning just reminded me that we are all constantly changing and going through so much behind the scenes that most people don't even know about. Little shifts in our world can be scary but good. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Last week I mentioned I ordered <a href="http://www.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=435412220&pid=uid3024-26393032-43" target="_blank">these</a> frames for my oyster water color prints, and I have pictures to share! They came in late last week and I hung them over the weekend. We have had a few bad experiences in the past when hanging art grouped together like this and it has been <b>so</b> hard to get everything hung evenly and level. But these were so easy! They came with paper templates, of the exact size of the frames and exactly where to put your nails. It took me all of 5 minutes to tape the templates on the wall, make sure they were straight, and I nailed straight through the paper. I am so happy with how they turned out! I love the way the brushed gold frames pop against the wall color.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In other news, the hubby and my father-in-law got started over the weekend on our new pantry! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This is the one space in our house that has never functioned well and has probably changed the most (frequently) since we bought our home 6 years ago. I would describe this room as a mud/laundry/pantry/catch- all room. It's not pretty, and we generally keep the door closed to it so we don't have to look at it. To make things worse, when we were building the addition, we found out that our water heater (previously stored in a water closet) was not to code because it was too close to our electrical panel. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This little nook used to house the above industrial shelves that we used as our pantry and miscellaneous storage, but now holds our water heater on the right side and is no longer big enough for the shelving unit. So we brainstormed for a new pantry solution, in keeping with the layout that we have, and this is what we came up with...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We added bi-fold closet doors and W and his dad framed out and put drywall up for a pantry. You can kind of catch a glimpse on the far right side of the picture of that white cabinet on the wall. It's small and just houses mostly tools and detergent, but it will be coming down so the doors can open properly. Most of that stuff will be moved into what used to house the water heater before we had to move it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It's still not perfect, but it's the best scenario this room as seen to date. W and his dad did a great job of the pantry and when it's all said and done, I think we will really enjoy the new layout. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Hey, guess what? It's the friggin' weekend! TGIF, amiright?! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">After wrapping up our new addition, things have started to slow down for the last couple of weeks on the home front, but there is still SO much to be done and April has gotten me motivated to get busy again! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> Honey- Do (<i>Together</i>) List- </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>1.</b> Paint kitchen & dining room - after moving furniture out of these rooms, we realized how badly they need a fresh coat of paint! This is numero uno for me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>2.</b> Pick up furniture from family that has been storing it for us </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>3.</b> Set up & organize guest room </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>4.</b> Decorate! Because the kitchen and dining room need to be painted, I removed everything from the walls and am still trying to sort out what & wear things will go back up. Our old spaces felt cluttered and busy to me. I'm still trying to find that balance between a tranquil yet homey feel. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The fact that Easter is only a week away, literally blows my mind. This year is FLYING by! On one hand, I want time to slow down, but on the other (<i>dominant)</i> hand, I am so ready and excited to be pulling out those new spring prints and dresses! I can't get enough of the pretty floral/ pastels this season, and the options available right now seem to be endless. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This is also Harrison's first Easter that he will actually kind of be able to understand what's going on, so I'm extra excited for it! I've gotten everything together for his first Easter basket (we saved our money last year and skipped the basket since he was not even 4 months old yet).. we got him a toddler soccer ball, a new book, bubbles, and little treats to stuff in some Easter eggs :)</span><br />

I had to make a Target run this afternoon on my lunch break to get milk for the babysitter and got so off track when the bright pink caught my eye. I am absolutely loving the gold accents, bright colors, and bamboo motifs. I seriously have issues shopping there without straying off of my list! I just thought these were too good not to share... happy hump day! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Hi guys! I'm back after taking a couple weeks break to move in (!!!) to our new addition. We are completely done with construction and are now just focusing on filling in the pieces with furniture and accessories. We still have a mile long to-do list but I'm excited to finally share some<i> real</i> progress photos with you! So here is a [condensed] version of the progression of our living room...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I am so over this snow. And my winter wardrobe. And wearing socks. With highs in the 60's yesterday and the lurking snow storm today, I feel myself falling back into that seasonal depression that tinkers on the brink at the end of every winter season. <i>OK</i>, maybe I'm being a little mellow dramatic, but you feel me right?! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So in the spirit of spring, <i>because that's the only thing getting me through this weather</i>, here is some inspiration for your footsies. There are so many great options this year and I can't wait to break out a new pair of sandals. Bring on the warmer weather!!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Pre-addition, we didn't have a proper dining room - more like a cramped eat in kitchen. But post-addition we are transforming our old living room into a dining area. We are really excited to finally be trading in our old hand-me-down kitchen table for <a href="http://www.shopstyle.com/action/loadRetailerProductPage?id=429167318&pid=uid3024-26393032-43" target="_blank">this</a> new, grown up, and more "us" version. We don't want the dining room to be too formal because this will be our everyday table as well, and most importantly the room needs to be appropriate for a wild toddler to run around in too. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The room is in dire need of new paint, and I'm in love with BM Seattle Gray (the same color we used in our new bathroom). Still searching for the right dining chairs but I love the stripe details on <a href="http://atchisonhome.com/shop/all/ATC02586-atchison-home-abbey-dining-chair" target="_blank">these</a> - just don't know how well they would hold up with sticky baby fingers :) </span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Some exciting things have been happening with the addition progress and I am happy to <i>finally</i> share some quick little snippets with you!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The builder dropped off our mantle on Friday and I am THRILLED with how it looks so far. It will be painted the same color as the rest of the trim in our living room, BM White dove. They also dropped off the carrara marble slab for the hearth, and I'm equally smitten! We're hoping to have the hearth and subway tile surround installed this week.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The bathroom cabinets were also installed last week. The vanity counter top was supposed to come yesterday but this snow storm has thrown yet <i>another</i> wrench in our schedule, so we'll just have to wait and see how things pan out. But as soon as the counter top is in, they can finish the plumbing, install the linen cabinet on top of the vanity, and finally hang the mirror and sconces. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>Things are getting close!</i> Today, the painters are putting the finishing coats on the trim, the electrician is hanging our fixtures and finishing the outlets, and tomorrow our hardwood floors will be sanded and stained. I've felt like a gypsy the last week <i>(going on two now)</i> because we've been hopping from relative to relative's house in order to keep little Harrison away from all of the fumes at home. But we're getting so close now, I can almost taste it! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Today I put together a little mood board for our master bedroom... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I like a mix of traditional pieces with contemporary art and accessories. Our <a href="http://owensuters.com/catalog/bedroom/" target="_blank">bed</a> was actually a wedding gift from my parents and we've used <a href="http://www.shopstyle.com/action/loadRetailerProductPage?id=304017357&pid=uid3024-26393032-43" target="_blank">these</a> Restoration Hardware bed linens since our wedding as well, except we just added <a href="http://www.shopstyle.com/action/loadRetailerProductPage?id=275924211&pid=uid3024-26393032-43" target="_blank">this</a> linen duvet cover recently for a more lush, layered feel. I ordered custom made, black out, flat roman shades in an off white linen for the window treatments that should be ready in the next couple of weeks. Other than the windows there isn't a lot of new things we need for our master, except I do want new bedside table lamps and art. I'm loving <a href="http://mintwoodhome.com/collections/art/products/midas-iii" target="_blank">this</a> piece right now, and think it would look amazing over our bed, although I'm worried the size may be a little too small.. but the colors are perfect. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Just a little Valentine's day inspiration to get you through this Friday...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We haven't really made any plans yet for Valentine's day, but I've been working on talking Wesley into taking me to see the new Fifty Shades (<i>I know, not very original</i>) movie at the Cinebistro for a date night, and keeping it really low key. What are your V-day plans shaping up to be? </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Just a some gorgeous images of a pale blue color palette to inspire you on this hump day. Lately, I am just so drawn to the light and airy color palette of pale blues mixed with neutrals and gold. I'd be perfectly happy to spend time gathering my thoughts in any one of these rooms. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I hate painting. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I can't tell you how many times we've painted a room and after a few weeks (<i>and sometimes even immediately</i>) I have regretted my color choice. Especially when you're married to someone who pretty much thinks paint is a permanent thing in our house...in other words, once it's up, you better like it because it's staying. So the pressure is on. It's time to pick paint colors for our new addition (paint is going on the walls next week... eeek!) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I've envisioned for some time now the look and feel I want in our new spaces, but picking actual colors that work in <i>actual</i> rooms is so different than seeing a picture in a magazine or on Pinterest and thinking "hey, that's the color I want". So over the past couple of weeks, I've been writing down every gray and white color I think I might like and yesterday I went to the paint shop to get pick up the paint chips. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">After studying all of my picks carefully, I narrowed each room down to 2 or 3 choices and took them home today at lunch to test them out in the middle of the day light in each room. I <i>finally</i> narrowed it down and am<i> </i>soo excited to get them up on the walls and {pray} I still love them as much as I do now! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It's been a while since I've given ya'll a proper update on our home addition, but trust me when I say things are moving along <i>slowly</i> but surely... </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Insulation and drywall went up this week so we are getting closer to making it look like a real home. And in order to do that there has been a lot of decision making going on along the way. We recently picked out our bathroom cabinets, counter tops, sink, fixtures, and I am now trying to nail down a paint color (<i>I'm leaning towards this subtle gray with blue undertones in BM Bunny Gray...</i>) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'll be back next week with some progress pictures... Have a great weekend! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Today is the day! My little baby is one year old! Oh my. This year just literally went by in the blink of an eye... probably because he has kept us so busy day in and day out ;) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Unfortunately, because of our ongoing construction/ chaos, we had to forego a big party this year. I originally thought that if construction would be finished reasonably soon after his birthday, that we could put off the party until then. But then there were just so many unknowns, and I'm glad now that we decided to go ahead and celebrate because we are still at least a month away from being finished with our house. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So about a week ago I decided to just have a very small get together with our immediate families. I took the easy route with catered BBQ, coleslaw, chips, and cupcakes. It honestly turned out to be so perfect for us. We had the nicest, stress-free day, and I think HRD thoroughly enjoyed his cake and presents! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This weekend was extra special because we had two special birthday's to celebrate! First on Saturday we went to my niece's birthday party and then on Sunday we celebrated Harrison's 1st birthday!<i> Oh me Oh my. Still can't get over that!</i> But for today, I am sharing the AMAZING job my sister did putting together a "Tea Party" for a very special little 2 year old! I know first hand how much thought, planning, and crafting went into this day, and it all came to life in such a dream land sort of way. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This year Christmas was all about the little ones (<i>and I dare say, all years to come will be the same!</i>) and it was so much fun to see their genuine excitement when opening gifts and just being with family. My sister and I also had a lot of fun finding matching outfits for our babes! Check out the bottom of this post to get the details and similar looks!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">2014 was an epic year for our family... we started off the year with the birth of Harrison, started the planning process and ultimately building an addition on to our house (<i>still not done, but close!</i>), all while learning how to be parents. You'll have to excuse me while I get a little nostalgic on you, with Harrison's first birthday coming up next week, I've been doing a lot of reflecting on this past year and all that we been through... many sleepless months, constant learning, growing, and sometimes feeling like a failure, and then overcoming that feeling, teething, so many firsts, and then finally feeling like you're a 'ole pro (<i>this feeling comes and goes:)</i>) And although it feels like we did so much in 2014, I still can't believe that it's over and we are onto the next year, with so many new firsts and adventures to experience as a family. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So this year my main goal is to be in the moment as much as possible, and try not to stress over the little things because they too shall pass. So bring it on 2015, I'm ready for you! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> This year my mom, sister, and I decided to start a new holiday tradition where we take an afternoon off work, get dolled up, and go to <a href="http://www.jeffersonhotel.com/richmond-fine-dining/afternoon-tea" target="_blank">The Jefferson Hotel </a>for afternoon tea. Ever since I can remember, my mom has always been an avid hot tea drinker, and I'm slowly enjoying it more and more myself. Besides the soothing and relaxing benefits of drinking hot tea, I love experiencing the rich tradition and formality of a High Tea.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Last week we focused on finalizing our tile choices for the bathroom and the fireplace tile surround. As I mentioned in the last<a href="http://www.aharrisonhouse.blogspot.com/2014/11/tile-shopping.html" target="_blank"> tile shopping post</a>, we decided on a ceramic Carrara Floor Tile Marble for the bathroom floor. I like that it has the look of marble but the durability of ceramic appeals more to me for a bathroom floor (especially considering we have a big dog, and a<i> soon- to- be</i> 1 year old running around under foot). Not to mention the price point hits my fancy. The bathroom tile was an easy decision for us. We were considering the 12x12 or 12x24 size and ultimately have decided to go with the 12x24, laid in a staggered brick pattern. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving holiday! We celebrated at my mom's house this year and it was extra special for our family being that it was Harrison's very first Thanksgiving! We started a new tradition of roasting oysters before we sat down for the main event. It gave everyone something to gather around and catch up over... not going to lie, we kind of stole the idea from my husband's family - they've done it for years and years, but everyone loved it. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">And now that we welcome December, we have so much to look forward to leading up to Christmas. I expect this Christmas to have a fresh feel with a little one running around :) Not to mention, who doesn't love Christmas music and holiday parties?! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Last week I took off to go pick out tile for our bathroom floor and fireplace surround. This was a new experience for me, and I have to say it was so much fun looking at the endless possibilities to choose from. Fun, and also a little overwhelming. Luckily, I've spent many hours scouring magazines and <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/harrisonhouse/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> to get a pretty good idea of what I want. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To be perfectly honest, I never really thought twice about it before. Never noticed it, never bothered me.... but now,<i> gosh</i>, I am so happy to be getting a new roof and choosing our own color! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">From Left to Right: <a href="http://www.iko.com/products/homeowner/architectural/cambridge/" target="_blank">Dual Black, Driftwood, Dual Brown, Aged Redwood </a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We also considered <a href="http://www.iko.com/products/homeowner/architectural/cambridge/" target="_blank">Charcoal Gray and Harvard Slate</a>, but in the end Dual Black was the winner.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I knew I wanted to stay on the gray/black spectrum versus brown/red, and I love the rich color of the Dual Black, also keeping in mind that over the years it is likely to fade a little bit and I would still be happy with the color without it being too light. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My sister recently asked me if I would put together a mood board for her office/craft room that's been sitting nearly empty since they moved into their house a year ago. She is super creative and is constantly working on new projects; whether it's a princess crown for her daughter to wear to a princess -themed birthday party, a homemade Halloween costume, or making decorations for her own parties; you name it, she's making it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So naturally she needs an organized but inspiring space to work in. Although there are some craft rooms out there that are filled top to bottom with shelving, cork boards, and the like, I thought something more mature would work well for her since this room will likely be used for office needs for her husband as well. I started with a large bulky executive desk that she inherited from our parents so I brought in some elements to lighten up the space, while keeping it functional. </span><br />
