Dog Days of Summer | Kate Collins Interiors

https://kcinteriors.wordpress.com/2015/07/08/dog-days-of-summer

Dog Days of Summer. July 8, 2015 at 4:00 AM. The dog days of summer have sunk their paws right into my soul. Sloth is no longer a sin, it’s a goal. With the exception of my harried morning workout, I’m opting for the slow, easy route. The new speed allows for examining rocks that Josie picks up, observing Grace as she absorbs new information and standing by my man as he waters the garden. In between the beach and mountain trips, I will be turning 35. 35 certainly feels like the turning point to 40&#4...

December | 2014 | Kate Collins Interiors

https://kcinteriors.wordpress.com/2014/12

Archive for December, 2014. Looking Back at 2014. Something I love most about Christmas is that it allows for the time to look back and reflect on the year. This year was chock full of blessings. At the start of 2014, I was newly pregnant with the greatest surprise of our lives – Miss Grace Katharine herself. She sleep trained herself at eight weeks. Say what? Grace is a mover. Since birth she’s been constantly kicking her legs. I don’t even know how many marathons she’s run yet...Josie has stepped into ...

Add to Bag | Kate Collins Interiors

https://kcinteriors.wordpress.com/2015/05/21/add-to-bag

May 21, 2015 at 5:01 AM. You know those times when you pick the same outfit off the bedroom floor time and again cause it’s just going to get spit up/smeared avocado on it anyway? You know how you reach for your “fat jeans” still because that spare tire isn’t listening to the subliminal messages you keep sending it? Yeah, me neither. Wink wink. Things ain’t been so hot in the fashion department and I haven’t bought myself new clothes in a looong time. I added a ton of stuff to my bag and then narrowed do...

Happy Birthday, Grace! | Kate Collins Interiors

https://kcinteriors.wordpress.com/2015/08/07/happy-birthday-grace

Happy Birthday, Grace! August 7, 2015 at 5:48 AM. I’ll never forget the day I found out I was pregnant with Grace. It was the surprise of a lifetime that we had proved the fertility Dr’s wrong and that things could work out the old fashioned way. My pregnancy with Grace was so different than Josie’s, with constant morning sickness ,that I was convinced it would be a boy. She surprised us and we got to be thankful for another wonderful girl and the beautiful bond of sisters. I thought there was no way a c...

Red Hot | Kate Collins Interiors

https://kcinteriors.wordpress.com/2015/05/20/red-hot

May 20, 2015 at 5:30 AM. If you have been hopping around various feeds, checking out glimpses of the show homes across the country, it seems that red rooms have been popping up more and more. The color red is very polarizing but I’ve always been a red fan; it’s a classic in my book. I love what Mark D Sikes did at this year’s Kips Bay show home. Alassandra Branca also took on the bold color with gusto at the Kips Bay Showhouse:. Are you into red or is just too much for you? Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Checking In | Kate Collins Interiors

https://kcinteriors.wordpress.com/2015/06/10/checking-in-2

June 10, 2015 at 5:24 AM. Thought I’d check in on the personal side today. It seems the blog and I are at odds with each other. I love the written word so I’ve been clinging to this dear old vessel. But this ship is going down and I’ve begun to toy with waving the white flag. For now though, I’m sticking around and blogging when I can. 8221; Just like the emotions of a two year old, it’s a pendulum swing of pure joy and crazy frustration being at home. You think she’s the daughter of a decorator? On the ...

https://kcinteriors.wordpress.com/2015/04

Archive for April, 2015. One Room Challenge: Week Five. This is the final week of scrounging together items for my One Room Challenge. Next week I’ll be showing you the final reveal of the bedroom in a country house. As I mentioned last week, I was going to attempt to pull off a DIY with this Peter Dunham fabric. I turned a pair of lamp shades from this…. It was nerve wracking! I’m hoping this Serena and Lily bench will arrive in time for the end of the bed. Check out the other participants here. I have ...

November | 2014 | Kate Collins Interiors

https://kcinteriors.wordpress.com/2014/11

Archive for November, 2014. I’m writing this post during the girls nap time to let you know that my mind has lost its way lately. It may be due to living with an almost two year old. She was a puddle of tears this morning because she couldn’t wear the wooden shoe form I have sitting on our bookshelf. I thought I pulled off a major accomplishment by dressing Grace today, instead of just putting her from one set of PJs to the next, but I ended up dressing my three month old in business casual. In case you ...

Baby Boy Nursery Plans. Thank you so much for the comments and phone calls after Gene’s post. It was so very healing to hear from you and I’m glad that the story of his life could touch so many. Last week, Graham and I went and checked in on our baby boy with the 20 week ultrasound. Thankfully, all is looking good with him. So, I asked the Dr. if I could start working on the nursery and she said yes. Dr’s orders! The baby will be going into Grace’s room and Gracie will be moving in with Josie. PS –...
