Last night, after 20 months of marriage, we switched sides in bed. The idea originated because I didn’t want to sleep next to the open window anymore. After one night, I am hooked! I slept so well last night. Turns out, I like the other side of the bed.
And it must be working for her, too, because she slept until 9 am this morning. She needed lots of rest. She has had a very rough week of hardly any sleep at all due to a cold and cough and right ear infection. She’s been teary-eyed and cranky all week. It has been hard on all of us. Coming home from our trip, we weren’t feeling well, and by the end of this week, I am completely drained. I hated that she wasn’t feeling well and I wish she could understand that rest would feel the best. Unfortunately, sleeping on your back adds a lot of pressure to your ears. She would scream when she laid in her crib because her ear was hurting so bad. After awhile, she learned to keep this position pictured above. Now, after a couple days of antibiotics and ibuprofen, she seems to be doing a little better…with one very nasty side effect:
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]

Isn’t that so true about ear infections?? Now we know that whenever she is freaking out when we put her down, into the doctor we go! We are 2 for 2 now for ear infections. Thank goodness for medicine. SOooo awesome.
