Design Mom’s New Book

I’m pretty excited to have a little feature in Design Mom’s new book.

It’s just a teeny-tiny part of Design Mom‘s New Book: How to Live with Kids: A Room by Room Guide, but I’ll take it!  I can say I’ve been published – well, my shoe cubby has been.

Design Mom Book

As a mom of six, Gabrielle Blair (the author) has some experience with living with kids, and she has discovered how to design kid-friendly spaces that don’t compromise good design.  It is possible to have a well-designed home and a family!

The book filled with wonderful ideas, beautiful photos, and conversational writing. It is for those of us who live with kids but still appreciate (and desire) a beautiful space.  The book is bright and fun and makes the perfect conversation piece on your coffee table.

I love that the book is organized by living spaces.

Design Mom - Entryway

And if you turn to The Entryway section…

Design Mom - Mud Room

You can see my mailbox turn shoe cubby! You can read more about my shoe and mudroom here.  

You can find Design Mom’s book on Amazon:

I found my shoe cubby at a local antique shop.  It was originally an old mail sorter, but I knew I loved it and thought outside the box for how to repurpose it and make it useful. Go create something!

One outdoor kitchen and suddenly we’re hosting every weekend. ☀️🍉 We recently added @blueskyoutdoorliving_brand White Shaker 3-Piece Outdoor Kitchen Combo to our pool patio, and it’s completely changed how we entertain. From graduation parties to Memorial Day cookouts, it’s become the gathering spot all summer long.

The weather-resistant cabinets feature a patented folding design that assembles surprisingly fast. 💨

#DutchBoyPartner This bathroom leaned a little cool, so I warmed it up with Sandstone Tint by @dutchboypaints and it completely changed the look of the space.

No major reno. No new cabinets. Just paint.

Save this if you’ve been wanting to try a DIY project

I created this reel two years ago, but since the fields behind our house rotate between corn and beans… it’s a corn summer again. 🌽

The older I get, the more I appreciate these ordinary little rhythms of life. Watching the field change through the seasons has quietly become one of my favorite parts of home.

We waited 13 years for this - and our house looks happier with her glow-up!

We went from a drafty single door (with a 90s glass inlay I poorly covered up) to double doors that allows in more light and feel right for our home.

What do you think?
