IKEA play kitchen hack + favorite pretend kitchen accessories

Hi friends! I’ve been meaning to share this post for awhile, but finally doing it….one year later! My parents hacked together the IKEA play kitchen for Lucy’s birthday and I wanted to share more about Lucy’s kitchen and our favorite pretend kitchen accessories. This is *not* a DIY/how-to post on how to hack the IKEA kitchen. There are tons of those online and here’s a great roundup of IKEA kitchen hacks, too! To start, my parents bought the IKEA play kitchen which is just under $90. It’s pretty simple and minimal as is, making it a perfect blank space for creativity and making the kitchen […]

narrow hallway storage solution (ikea billy review)

One of the challenging parts of having an old house is often a lack of closets or storage solutions. Our house was built in 1919, and has minimal closets. Our bedroom has a small one that was sloppily added on fairly recently, and Lucy’s room has a similar sized closet. We do have some storage upstairs, which is where we keep a lot of our bulkier items like suitcases, bins of baby clothes, etc. On the main floor, we have no hallway closets, no bathroom closets, no coat closets, no mud room, etc. Sooooo it’s required a bit of creative thinking to figure out how […]

bedroom updates with wayfair

      This post is sponsored by Wayfair, a brand I love and have been partnering with for years! We’ve been in our home for almost 10 months now, and we’re slowly but surely making more and more updates (some big, some small) to our space! I recently made some small but mighty changes to our bedroom, thanks to Wayfair. I’ve shared photos of our bedroom on Instagram before (here + here); candidly, we haven’t spent a lot of time or energy decorating this room as we have other rooms. Right when we moved in, we bought a West Elm dresser from CraigsList, hung two wall […]

Bathroom Decor Updates

This post is sponsored by The Home Depot. All thoughts and opinions are, of course, my own. As new homeowners, we have made many, many, MANY trips to our local Home Depot in the last ten months. Basically, it seems like we are there every weekend! 😅I recently discovered that The Home Depot has a huge selection of home decor products – wall art, faux plants, textiles, candles and diffusers, stylish hardware, and more. I’m excited to share more photos from our home (#aenashnest) with you – our two bathrooms that I recently refreshed with decor and hardware updates from The Home Depot!  🛀🏻One bathroom […]

WE BUILT A GREENHOUSE!

this post is in partnership with The Home Depot. hi friends! I’m assuming most people who read my blog also follow me on Instagram and in that case, you probably already have seen the exciting update – we built a greenhouse! A little backstory – we first toured our house in August, signed papers in September and officially moved in October. The house also had a standalone garage in the backyard, which could be accessed from a back alley. We decided immediately that we would NOT put our car in there because it was 1) gross and 2) falling apart and 3) had termite/rot damage, […]
