Fireplace Makeover Part 2! Comment FIREPLACE for t Fireplace Makeover Part 2! Comment FIREPLACE for the supplies we used!🔥

When I say this design came to me in a dream I quite literally mean it haha it really came to me in my sleep. I had been thinking about how to make the overmantel work since the stone structure placement kind of made it more difficult.

Putting 2x4s up the wall allowed us to place the shiplap over the top part of the stone and took it out from the wall a little bit. Then Craig built the mantel over the existing stone one - which by the way was the worst mantel that ever existed. It was only about 3 inches deep, it was completely uneven, and it was tilted forward. So basically it was impossible to get anything to really stay on the mantel. Useless lol. Now I have a nice big mantel I can style and put up Christmas decorations and it just looks amazing. 

Overmantel paint color: @sherwinwilliams Worldly Gray
Mantel stain: Minwax Special Walnut

Emma’s Capsule Wardrobe

Before Emma was born I couldn’t help myself; I wanted all the girly boho pink vibes when it came to her nursery and her clothes.  But now that she is getting a little older *cue tears* I have been finding myself gravitating more towards easy to mix-&-match neutrals.  Ya know, kinda like my wardrobe 😉 But really, creating Emma’s capsule wardrobe just helps us keep a little bit of a reign on how much we are buying since so many things can go together to create lots of different outfits.  Sharing where I got everything & sizing info below!

Emma’s Capsule Wardrobe

H&M

H&M has such great kids clothes.  I think if I could only get clothes from one place it would be H&M. Great quality and affordable (especially great to stock up whenever they have a sale.) I would say that H&M tends to run a little big, but I just get her true size because I like she has some room to grow into it!  She is in the 12-18 month size right now.  I also love the little boots I got her because they are velcro on the back making it easy to put on/take off!

Target

Of course Target has some great staple pieces too!  I don’t think their selection is as good as H&M, but I’ve grabbed a few little leggings and this cardigan that are so cute.  I think most of the Cat & Jack stuff at Target seem to run small, she’s in 2T leggings and they are already tight!

Amazon

I found Emma’s combat boots on Amazon but they are Carter’s brand.  They must have been from last year because they aren’t on the Carter’s website.  I know people find cute stuff on Amazon too but I don’t do a ton of shopping for her on there.  I did get her 1 year birthday picture outfit from there though and love it!  For the combat boots, I recommend sizing up one.  They seem to run a little small compared to her other shoes!

Others

I grabbed a couple things for Emma at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and her sneakers she wears all the time are from Carter’s.

Hope this helps!! I think buying a bunch of neutrals just makes it easier to mix & match and since everything goes together. It also makes my neutral loving heart happy, but of course H&M and all the other places have plenty of color too, if that’s more your thing 🙂

xo,

Bess
