Home + Health + Life + Style
As our sweet little Lillian grew from babyhood to toddler life we did the standard transition tasks, like baby gates, dropping the mattress down, and my husband adorably anchoring all the furniture to the wall. We did have to remove the gorgeous starburst mirror from over her changing table until she recently because she kept
Living in a 1400 square foot house, built in 1942 means I have to make very conscious space planning and decor decisions. With the addition of my daughter to the Henesy house, my life, my world and my work space naturally changed drastically. Didn’t take a baby swing and Pack ‘n Play into account when I
Lillian’s Colorful 1st Birthday Party! As the holidays died down, I got on top of my party planning to celebrate Lily’s first trip around the sun. Knowing I would have too many guests for my Mid-century home, I quickly set out to find a venue that didn’t break the bank for a 1st birthday
It’s officially November and officially the Holiday season! I love getting the house all cozy and cute as the cold weather creeps in, and every year I make more Christmas crafts to add to my Holidecor. This year I tried out and tied up a Scandinavian inspired rope wreath. It is super quick, pretty easy
Easy Macrame Hanging Planters Months ago, while I was very pregnant and putting the finishing touches on Lillian’s nursery, I decided I was going to try my hand at macrame hanging planters. After searching around on Google and Pinterest, I still couldn’t find the kind of simple tutorial I was in need of. I found
Baby Girl’s Nursery I’m not one of those women who could wait ALL the way until delivery day to find out the sex of my baby. Therefore, I’ve known since August that we were having a girl, and I could not wait to decorate a baby girl’s nursery! I knew that I wanted a light
~New Studio Space~ LaurInteriors has a new studio space! After a solid year of trying to work from home and sewing in my Milwaukee basement, I put it out to the universe and chatted with a few other creativepreneurs about finding a shared work space. Luckily, one of them was super serious about studio
~Dresser Makeover~ The first piece of furniture that I fell in love with, the first piece that was officially mine, and still, one of my absolute favorite pieces of furniture, is my childhood dresser! An old school tongue-in-groove, 4-drawer dresser. A piece I will cherish my whole life, and the kind of piece that makes
~Living Room Love~ I couldn’t tell you how long I’ve been wanting a matching pair of sofas facing each other in my living room. Maybe since early childhood, when I saw a pair in the front room of my mom’s cousin’s house… I think hers were a pastel blue. But I remember always behaving in
‘Tis the season to add more Holidecor! Every year I like to hang a real wreath on the front door. You may already know how expensive those can be. However, this beautiful boxwood wreath from Trader Joe’s is only about $13-$14! Now that is a perfect price. Last year, I’m sure I was just excited
Have I mentioned that I love ribbon? I also love hanging more Holidecor! Now that we’re in a house, I finally have a stairway to decorate after all the years of city living. Everyone enjoys a well hung Holiday banister! But my banister is just a baby, maybe 2 feet…. So last year I
HAPPY DECEMBER!!! Thanksgiving meals have been eaten, calories consumed and regular schedules resumed. Now it’s officially Christmastime! As I’ve gotten older I’ve really enjoyed hanging Holidecor more and more. I love transitioning my space into a Happy Holiday place! okay…I’ll stop rhyming. I made my first batch of trees a few years ago, have received
