Rainbow Playroom Reveal!

in ,

I’m so excited to finally share our playroom with you! This is actually the first room in our new apartment that I am revealing on the blog! Ever since we moved over the summer, we’ve been making progress on lots of different house projects, but the biggest priority was working on the spaces for the kids. This is the first time we’ve lived somewhere with space for a playroom, and it was actually one of the things that sold us on the apartment! Ever since the pandemic began, we’ve been spending more and more time at home, so it was important for us to have a dedicated place for all of the kids’ toys, costumes, and arts and craft supplies. We mostly used items we already had, but we did get a few new pieces for the space. Keep reading to see how we transformed our empty basement into the girls’ rainbow playroom!

Girls' Shared Bedroom Reveal

in ,

I am so excited to finally share photos and details of the girls’ shared room! This post has been a long time coming! After Noa started consistently sleeping through the night, we knew she was ready to move into the same room as her big sister. We hadn’t really made any changes to Adina’s room since she was a baby, so this was the perfect opportunity to give the space a makeover. Keep reading to see how we transformed our old nursery into the girls’ shared bedroom!

Decorating for Chanukah 2019

in ,

Chanukah is one of my favorite holidays of the year! Since it usually falls around the same time as Christmas, there is a holiday spirit in the air wherever you go! Although we don’t have a Christmas tree or an Elf on the Shelf, I love to go all out when it comes to decorating my home for Chanukah. That said, finding stylish Chanukah decor that I actually like is not always easy. That’s why I am so excited to partner with Peace Love Light Shop to decorate for Chanukah this year! Their shop has the best selection of contemporary Jewish decor!

October is one of my favorite months of the year! I love the cool chill in the air and the budding foliage as the seasons really start to change.

Home Office Tour

in

When we were apartment hunting, we had our “must-have” list of non-negotiables. And then we had our “bonus list” of things that would be nice to have, but weren’t necessary. One of those “bonus” items was space for a home office. When we visited our apartment for the first time, it checked off most of the boxes on our must-have list (2 bedrooms, a dishwasher, space for a dining room table and chairs etc.) but it didn’t have a separate dedicated space for a home office. However, once we got settled in and things began to find their place, it looked like creating a dedicated workspace could be possible!

Backyard Makeover

in

One of the things that set our apartment apart from the other places we looked at was the outdoor space. Since we are on the ground floor of a brownstone, we have private access to the garden behind our building. When we first moved in, it looked like an overgrown jungle, full of weeds and plants that were in desperate need of grooming. Although it didn’t look like much, we saw potential for a beautiful natural oasis in the busy city.

Spring Living Room Update!

in

Slowly but surely, I have been updating our home for spring - mostly just changing things around from pillows to our coffee table to our shelves. This is probably my favorite thing to do since you don’t have to spend any money when you shop around your own home! But we recently made a simple (and affordable) update that has transformed the way our living room and whole home feels - we added curtains!
