Double Take

While enjoying my coffee this morning I headed over to one of my favorite blogs, Design Dump by Autumn Clemons. I try to make my blog rounds regularly.....but In an older post of hers I spotted it and did a Double Take. There it was the {almost}twin to my Free Updated Dresser {Here}. She did hers in white ....I had the hardest time deciding between Grey or White and even though now I see them side by side I'm thinking......that it might go White later. I love this dresser and can't wait to see where it evolves to. {the furniture in our home rotates with out warning}

Used in the clients nursery as a changing table

Love the drawer pulls...see the rest of the nursery HERE

In it's next life .....WHITE

ADD IT TO THE LIST........

My list this summer just keeps on going and going, page after page. Even though everyday I work on it. I thought about it this morning - maybe if I stop going on Pinterest for just awhile I could catch up{insert long pause}  ....I will just have to get more paper. Here is a peak at my latest "Must Do" ideas.


This ones for the Kiddos........

Can it get any more adorable than this? Ashley + Jamin of The Handmade Home created this for their kids. They give step by step instructions plus a cost break down. I Love the fact that everything she does is on a budget and loaded with creativity! The best part of this fort/hideaway {no trees needed} Our newish backyard {8yrs old} can barley hold a bird house, so this is Perfect.

Family-Friendly English Country House

Su Harr wasn’t particularly daunted when she first walked through the 1840s Georgian-style Sussex house that she and her family now call home. Though scaffolding appeared to be holding up several walls and the basement ceiling was all but collapsing, Su saw potential in the rambling yet classic home.

With three children (Dominique, 24; Mackenzie, 10; and Mungo, 8), Su’s first priority was to convert the house from a formal English country house to a family-friendly home.

VIA

Almost storybook, in fact. A child’s imagination is given free rein here. Outdoors, the children have 2 1/2 acres of gardens to roam. Roses and wisteria flourish. A pool offers respite from the (occasional) English sun. There’s even a “Children’s Wood” that’s worthy of enchanted-forest status.
