Friday Fav: Under the Sycamore

My new favorite obsession is Ashley Ann's blog, Under the Sycamore. I forget how I discovered it, probably the usual link that takes you to a blog, that takes you to  another blog... you know the drill. I instantly fell in love with her beautiful family, her stunning photography, and her genius creativity. Her four kids are adorable, and I love that she loves her time with them so much that she has put her business on hold in order to enjoy her time with them. Here is the nursery she created for her baby girl. She was so excited to be able to do a creative, totally girly space!



Beautiful, right? The rest of her home is lovely too, so head on over to her blog and get all acquainted with Ashely and her crew. :-)

Friday Favs: The Lettered Cottage

Do you know about The Lettered Cottage? No? Well, is it one of my favorite blogs. This is Layla and her husband Kevin,

and they live at the Lettered Cottage.

Layla's vision for their basic old home is amazing, and it is so fun to watch as they slowly transform each room into something truly spectacular.

Take the dining room, for example. It used to look like this:

and now it looks like this:

Isn't that beautiful? I love that picture ledge, and all of the soft textures and neutrals that work together.

They also carved out a little reading room, so pretty!

Their kitchen is beautiful, and those are just builder's grade cabinets that they made over with some black paint and extra moulding!

You can practically hear the ocean outside of the guest room,

and they just finished their hallway transformation. How lucky were they to have all that great wood underneath drywall?

They're currently working on renovating the guest bathroom, and I am really looking forward to yet another fabulous before and after! Go ahead, head on over to their fun blog, I'll still be here when you're done. :-)
