progress.

Grandma Bridgwood, Uncle Matt, and Aunt Emy stopped by last night with a special delivery for baby girl. A crib! Feeling so blessed and the room finally feels like a nursery with that special piece of furniture present. Got to chip away at a few things in the room today. Hung some special bits of art from Lauren's mama across the whole wall, and hung curtains finally! I have paint and am excited to get that on the walls at some point. Going to make all the things POP!

found its way.

Thomas came home with a little something something last week. Makes me smile. Baby better prepare herself.

leftover poppies.

Recently decided that poppies are one of my favorite flowers. Lauren was able to get so many poppies from local farms and markets for the shower and she gathered a group of leftovers for me to take home. Happy to have these beauties in the baby room while I'm organizing and prepping for little girl.

everyday it seems.

Loving having flowers in this studio all the time. It's unbelievable really. This is just another photo from the flowers Lauren was putting together for yesterday's wedding. Went so well and was such a blast.

flowers for shower.

After working on bouquets yesterday, Lauren got out a dish to work on a low display for the baby shower tomorrow. Love how soft yet wild it feels. Can't wait to see lots of friendly faces and eat delicious scones and look at gorgeous flowers all day. Sigh.

working.

I usually just sit and watch Lauren work on flowers. It's really fun. Today I got a few more things done, like answering emails and cleaning up, but of course I had to snap a photo. Loving the look of these bouquets for the wedding tomorrow!

redrocks.

Stopped at RedRocks for pizza with Lauren and Priscilla because we were starving. Was a busy day in traffic to and from D.C. for Aby and Kristina's wedding rehearsal. Gorgeous church! And gorgeous day though!

quick veggie chili.

My mom made this recipe the other night from the Cooking Light cookbook, and goodness it was super delicious! The avocado salsa topping was so good. My mom usually doesn't have to make massive amounts of anything containing avocado because my brother's "don't like it." So what made them both decide they wanted to actually try the salsa that particular night? I wish I knew, so I could have stopped it. Now they apparently love it and there will be no seconds for any of us ever again. So I made it tonight for Thomas and I and now I'm sharing! Love that this recipe has all the makings of your basic meatless chili. But has a fun mexican flair with the avocado and tortilla chips! Read below for details and a few photos.

printing.

Working on some special details for baby shower. Including some fun prints of my recent maternity shoot with Jewel! Can't wait to hang these up! Raffle gifts are wrapped, flowers are purchased, furniture has been moved and food has been bought. Baking and designing will begin tomorrow!

bright space.

I don't usually take photos of bathrooms. But this bathroom is one that I'm really excited about. So there you go. Just hung curtains, put a plant on the bench and unpacked some bright white towels in a basket. Feeling to bright and big and fresh. All of this just feels so surreal. Can't wait to have it all done and to be working and gathering here all the time.
