play creatively
Enjoying the last weeks of summer and free play (and her new peg rail in her room! – how did we live without it?). We’re also getting every last second we can out if this toddler bed. In the works of designing her a new twin bed that I’m so excited about but am hesitant …
She’s halfway thrilled to have a room of her own now that the boys have moved out, and halfway missing them like crazy. We have been so glad to have found this beautiful Konges Sløjd bedding from our favorite Smallable Store to make the transition a little more snuggly. She also love this sweet organic …
School’s out for the summer! And we’re loving these slow mornings with late breakfasts. Enjoying our newly painted dining room floor – switched from cool tones to warm ones. The kids have even suggested we play life size chess on here. I told them I’m game just as soon as I’ve made them each cardboard …
We’ve been doing lots of random things over here at Banister House, such as putting flowers on Frida (an illustration I did for the Frida Kahlo edition of Bravery Magazine).

My goodness it’s been a long time since I popped in over here. I’ve been pretty active over on Instagram but I guess I needed a bit of a break from the blog format for a bit. Just long enough for me to be missing it again. I’ve been working on so many projects such as my …
I’ve been obsessed with industrial laundry carts not only for their vintage appeal but for their utilitarian aspects as well. This we our Schoolhouse Electric laundry cart arrived and I’m smitten with it. The kids want to race up and down the hall with it but I’m just happy to have a designated place for them to …
My little O said the silliest thing to me the other day after I asked him to finish his food. He responded with “Mom, I can’t eat anymore right now. I have to wait until the food in my stomach finishes downloading.” Ha! What a little goof. Silliest kid I know.
