• This is one of my favorite pieces of art that Jon @wildonesadventures has ever made and guess what it didn’t start out as a piece of art! It was an old canvas that Jon was using to get rid of any left over paint from other art projects. Instead of having the paint go down the drain he would just swipe it onto the canvas! None of the colors were planned but it all works! What a happy accident! Are you feeling inspired to do a little painting yourself? I love to paint and I’m itching to get out my paints!

  • Getting up in the morning is always better when you have pink appliances for your morning tea and toast! @smegusa just totally get it’s! There candy colored appliances are everything! Swipe to see the backsplash with brass accents! It’s oh so pretty but a total pain to install!

  • Got to spend the day with Sebastian yesterday! Swipe to see us in our coordinating outfits! I haven’t done an official photo shoot in his nursery but it is adorable! It’s bright and happy with a space theme sprinkled throughout! Here is a little corner where I got to rock him to sleep. He passed out on me and then I watched the first episode of Zoeys Extraordinary Playlist! I laughed and cried. Can’t wait for more episodes!

  • One of my favorite home pieces that is currently still in a storage pod is this etagere! It was a find from @pier1 probably ten years ago! Originally it was black but that didn’t work with my vibe. So, we painted it high gloss white and put it in a corner of our living room that didn’t have room for anything else! Have you been to @pier1 lately with all of its store closings? I want to pop into my local one today and see if there are any deals to be had! . . . Want an update on our new house? It’s up on the blog today and it’s not pretty! . 📷@erinkestenbaum

  • Feeling blue? @pantone has declared classic blue as the color of the year! What are your thoughts? In my design work blue is almost a neutral for clients. It’s the only color that both men and women like. So, I have quite a bit of blue fabric memos in my library. I love a classic blue and have used it in the past, but this year I’m actually feeling more of a French blue which is a much lighter shade of blue. What is your favorite blue? 📷 @erinkestenbaum #colormadetheroom

  • Progress photos from a project are always the best! Especially when they are from one of your bestie’s homes! I connected with my friend Melissa @mrsmelfam due to my blog! She was a long time blog reader and a couple of years ago she saw me at a parenting co-op where Hudson was taking a class. She came up to me and blew me away that someone actually recognized me. We went out for coffee and the rest is history. She is one of the sweetest people I know and her family is just as amazing. They are all family to me. We have so many of the same likes and I’m constantly telling her we need to work together at Effortless Style! For now I get to help her decorate her home. We are constantly re-decorating rooms! Her foyer recently got a whole new look with this stunning @thibaut_1886 paper!!!!
