    Nicole, you always outdo yourself with details! I have been an avid follower of your blog for months now and this is my first comment (shameful). I actually found you in a decorating magazine with your library makeover(lol).

    P.S- Did you make those pillows yourself? If so what fabric did you use, its gorgeous!

    I’ve been taking naps! I sleep 10-12 hours each night now and I STILL need to nap during the day. Sheesh. Everyone’s telling me to sleep now though, while I still can. ;)

    Jazmin, the pink pillow is from Hable Construction and the other was from Thomas Paul.

    Hi Nicole, I somehow stumbled onto your blog a couple of weeks ago and have been hooked ever since!

    You have a great eye for beautiful design :) Keep up the great work and thank you for letting us in on the process.

    Definitely take a nap. I had a son six months ago, and it always amazes me how much sleep I need. He’s sleeping through the night finally and I still need a long nap just to feel normal. Having a kid gives you a ticket to take naps until they’re out of the house. :-)

    I am loving that fabric! I need some pillows like this for my front porch furniture…having a terrible time finding something just right, though. I’m off to check out the link you posted. Thanks!

    I know. They’re gorgeous, but expensive. I had wanted that pillow for years and I finally bought it during their 30% off sale.

    Julie, yes that’s the new rocker! I love the color.

    Completely off topic, but every time I see your site on my blogroll, the name, sung to the tune of Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t She Lovely” runs through my head. It’s quite catchy!

    Nicole, I just saw your last Twitter.
    I can send you a copy of Real Living, if you like. (I love it!) I have 2 copies of June 2008, or I can pick up a Jan/Feb 09 edition for you. Let me know!

    Nicole,

    First I want to comment on the site makeover. I love it! Especially the hexagon tile background and the yellow flowers at top right and bottom. Great work!

    Second, I love the Hable construction pillow. I have wanted one of their rectangular bags for some time now.

    I found your blog a few weeks ago and have loved catching up on the transformation of your home! Would you be willing to show us (you know, in all that free time between building a baby and running businesses and beautifying your home ;)) how you’ve hung the artwork in your LR from the picture rail? It’s very sleek and exactly what I’d like to do in my own new-to-me old house, so I’m curious what materials you used and how you hooked things up.

    I second Jess’ request… WHEN you’re up to it, of course. Frankly, all bets are off when you’re carrying another little body around – and I find you amazing, Nicole, so just keep doin what you’re doin, whenever you get to it. Blogs can be caught up on; baby-time can’t. (P.S. I plugged you over at AT in a comment about pink living rooms/walls… yours are so classy, Lady!)

    looks lovely! your little one is going to be so lucky to have such stylish parents!

    just so ya know the etsy shop paulinagtz, has a wallhanging set with that thomas paul fabric… it may be a little matchy-matchy in the same room as the pillow but could look cute in the nursery!

    i had 4 pillows made from her in the brown, aqua, and yellow thomas paul parasols fabric for super cheap!
