A Built-In Buffet Refresh
/The dining room sold me on the house with the built-in buffet, the plate rail, the picture rail, the swinging door, and the room dividers. Swoon! But, I ended up just putting random tchotchkes behind the leaded glass, and filled the drawers with junk. It was nothing to write home about and I feel bad for neglecting it for so long. So, I gave it a quick weekend refresh!

Margot is getting an upgraded room to make space for baby sister in the nursery.
With an additional family member, we want to shuffle the rooms of our 3-bedroom house around. The one off the living room was being used as my home office, so now it’s time to convert it into an actual bedroom. The initial thought was to give this room to baby sister and keep Margot in her room. But we ultimately decided to put the baby in the room designed to be a nursery, then convert the home office into a space designed for a bigger kid. Plus, the office has more windows, and is right off the living room (Margot’s playroom) so it’s better suited for all the daytime play, whereas the single-window nursery is cozier for lots of daytime naps.
