The slide in shelf

Authors: Ashley @ Decorating Obsessed

The one thing I hated about the nursery was the attic access (aka: cabinet door) on the wall.
I mean, how is this not noticeable:

So, I started debating my options, because, well, this was just not acceptable. I toyed with the idea of a large picture or other ways to hide it. Then one day I realized I was going...

A weekend of purging

Authors: Ashley @ Decorating Obsessed

Spring cleaning is apparently happening a tad late in the Miller house this year. No closet is currently safe. I think the realization that we'll soon be acquiring a bunch of baby stuff is fueling this task.
While on this mission, I realized I have never gone through Macintosh and Chip's toys. Ummm...holy geez....

Closet preparations

Authors: Ashley @ Decorating Obsessed

I bought goodies for Audrey's closet...several weeks ago (yes, I know I currently suck at this thing called blogging).

The closet dividers are from Amazon. And the storage stuff is actually from JoAnns. I feel like I hit the jackpot with it. This collection was in the office section and was 50% off. So, I scored...

Ut Oh

Authors: Ashley @ Decorating Obsessed

Going to Web sites such as Macys and then doing a search for "penguins" is a bad idea.
Jonathan Adler has a penguin ornament out. $28 is a lot to spend on an ornament, but I might not be able to help myself. This little guy is adorable, and would make a perfect addition to my penguin tree.

I've got to stop

Authors: Ashley @ Decorating Obsessed

I've got to stop buying things (mainly clothes) for Audrey. My baby showers aren't until December, and yet she already reaching what could be considered a full closet.
So, last weekend's shopping spree with my mom and god-mother was it. I am on break until after December 18th. It's going to be tough, but I have...

What I Bought...

Authors: Ashley @ Decorating Obsessed

I just couldn't help myself. I'm powerless toward penguins.

At first I was going to buy the entire set of the 3 winter sport penguins, but the ice skating penguin looked way too one-legged in person.
I also decided to take a huge step and buy my first Thanksgiving/Fall decoration ever. This is a huge step for me....

The master closet

Authors: Ashley @ Decorating Obsessed

While I'm a judgmental snob when it comes to those in "new construction houses," there is one aspect of new houses that I'm insanely jealous of – the master bedroom closets. I wish Brent and I had any form of a walk-in closet in our bedroom. Instead, we have this:

Yep, that's all the clothing space we have.
To...

Argyle accomplished!

Authors: Ashley @ Decorating Obsessed

It's done! The argyle wall is done!
Honestly, I'm still in a state of shock that I was able to finish it as quickly as I did. I started painting that wall white 3 weeks ago, and from there just worked on the wall off and on. Totally worth it:

Sorry, for the darkish photo. I finished all the touch-ups late last...

This weekend

Authors: Ashley @ Decorating Obsessed

Nesting is a funny thing. For me, it's like drinking a lot of Red Bull and having an extreme amount of focus on the tasks at hand. All I wanted to do this weekend was start getting things ready for Audrey, and that's exactly what we did.
What I worked on this weekend:
That's right, aside from touch ups – the a...

The nursery palette

Authors: Ashley @ Decorating Obsessed


While I toyed around with many color schemes, I kept coming back to this one – green, yellow, gray and white. I love the playfulness of these color together, and I love even more that it doesn't scream baby. Because this is the most gender-neutral palette ever, I decided to add in pops of magenta throughout the...
