Today I have the immense please of sharing a few o Today I have the immense please of sharing a few of Seana’s squares. You likely know her as @bellybaila the Glamohemian ✨ I first met her this summer during @albieknows ‘s initiative called #sharethemic and have been IG friends since. I’m compelled by the rich colours, layered spaces and her smart design. It packs a punch and is filled with beautiful pieces by Black artists. What I wouldn’t give to poke around a room of hers and explore everything that we don’t see in photos. Give her a follow for the colours, but stay for her captions ❤️

I keep thinking about the entryway console I made. I keep thinking about the entryway console I made. I was inspired by a Mendl’s box from The Grand Budapest Hotel, and tried to make the furniture equivalent. I think I did it! 
What’s the oddest thing you’ve ever been inspired by? Pretty sure this is mine.

Design only works if it works for you ✨ Looking Design only works if it works for you ✨ Looking back, this setup was optimal for conversation, and assumed that Dan and I would only casually watch TV. That *was* the case until June arrived, and suddenly I was pinned to the couch for many hours a day while pumping and/or breastfeeding, and suddenly it felt off. Add to that, a rolling and crawling toddler, and suddenly there were too many obstacles. Thinking about how our spaces have changed with our needs, really shows how much design has to work for you.

I’ve been planning June’s big girl room in the I’ve been planning June’s big girl room in the next house, since the day we sold this one 🏡While we’re still a few months away, I am already pinning and planning away. Like her nursery, it may take me a few tries to get it right (first try, pictured here) but now that June’s personality is shining through, it’ll be a good reflection of her.
