John Woodford's Vintage Southern Nursery

John Woodford's Vintage Southern Nursery

We welcomed our sweet John Woodford into the world on November 26th, 2019, exactly a week after his due date. Almost two months have simultaneously flown and crept by since then, but I am loving every second of watching this precious boy grow. John Woodford has slept in his nursery every night since the first night we came home, so this room is getting plenty of use. I wanted to finish it completely before he arrived, and since he took his time, I had plenty of extra days to work on it! There are still a few things I want to add here and there, especially now that I have a better idea of what we need practicality wise, but overall I love how it turned out. It’s the perfect mix of traditional southern, modern, and vintage with sentimental keepsakes throughout. I loved designing this space as it was just an empty, blank white room when I started a few months ago.

Custom Paint Consultations with Gathered Living Design

They’re backkk! Due to your requests, I am opening up spots again for custom paint consultations in your home. One of the hardest parts of home ownership and the design process is making decisions about the perfect paint colors for your home.  Paint truly is the easiest and most dramatic way to transform any room or update an outdated space without spending a ton of money.  Not only is it difficult to narrow down all the options available, but also to know what shades work together for trim, doors, and ceilings, as well as how to create a color scheme that will flow seamlessly from room to room.  I know how hard it is hard to make these decisions on your own, which is why today I will be opening up a select number of spots for custom color consultations with me in your home!

Cheesy White Lasagna with Spinach + Crispy Prosciutto

Winter always puts me in the mood for cozy dinners and comfort food, and this lasagna definitely fits the bill for both. This recipe has layers of alllll the cheese but it’s also perfectly balanced by the crispy, salty prosciutto and the brightness of the spinach and fresh basil. Also apparently I’ve been living under a rock because this is my first time trying the “oven ready” lasagna noodles that you don’t even have to boil prior to baking. It makes this recipe even easier, just one more reason to make more lasagna!
