In the past couple months I’ve found myself post-pregnancy nesting… I’m home so much more now that I notice all the little places or things to update. I love being at home everyday and running our “household.” It feels fulfilling in a weird way, though once I finish it all one day, I have to start over and do it again the next. Sigh.
On another note today has been a great day. You know it will be good when: you wake up to a blizzard (we love snow), you get over an icky flu/sore throat, your friend tells you she’s pregnant (!), and your hair stylist has a last minute opening for Sat. (rather than her usual 2-3 week wait).
Back to the house; here are some of our updates:
New pillows for our chairs and new clock (we’ve been looking for pillows for over a year; so glad to find some we like):
New kitchen table (our old one was an oak/painted black hand-me-down we got 4 years ago; we looked for a new one for about 6 months... though we liked our old one, it came time to have more than a 4-seater :):
My favorite part is the detailing on the legs:
Cube shelf in our bedroom (thank you IKEA; inexpensive and very functional):
We added the cute stuffed dog and “E” to the nursery just after Emerson was born:
And just recently framed some pictures for E’s room: 
Now we just need to get some paint in our guest room. It has been neglected.

I'm jealous of your table. We got an old one when we got married and need a bigger one. I do love IKEA.
Yay for getting your hair done. I should get mine cut soon. Thanks for the reminder!
Add me to the list of coveting your kitchen table! It's gorgeous!! Ours is a hand-me-down we painted...does the job though :)
And I LOVE the pillow! It looks like a big bouquet of blue roses you wanna put your face on.
I have so much to say, I hope there's enough room. Lets start with the kitchen table. Amazing. So you. Modern, functional and classic. Moving on to the pillow. Perfect. I'm loving the fun pillows I see lately, and this one fits in the catergory perfectly. The Cube shelf is the one thing Murphy knows I want in our house someday. I've always loved it. Those blue lanterns in E's room? I don't remember those. You know I'm a fan of lanterns. Anyways.... love the new additions, obviously. This is why I need to talk to you on the phone more. There's just so much that needs to be said.
I am insanely jealous of your amazing decor. We need a bigger space! Lola and I will be in Oregon next week, but can we come see you the week after? I am dying to meet little E!
Such style and elegance, Shan. I loved seeing the home updates - THANK YOU for posting! Miss you guys!!!
Where did you find those fabulous pillows?
Love it all! We actually have the same exact clock and cube shelf as you guys! Im so glad that you are able to stay at home and get some things done... it's so satisfying!
Love your house. And am dying to visit, of course. I miss you so much!
Love love love your style. And pillows... I love the texture. I saw some in a magazine that I've got my eye on!
