Addy's Bedroom Reveal/One-Year-Old Photoshoot + Chandelier by NK

Monday, September 25, 2017 - Leave a Comment

Addy is One!

Well, she's actually one year and four months old now, but we just got around to taking photos in her lovely floral bedroom. Addison is my cousin Maya's daughter, who I am sure you've seen before if you've been following along (Maya's baby shower post HERE)! When Maya was pregnant, I painted the walls to match the Circo sheets from Target that are in Addy's crib. All the details of her bedroom are bright and cheery to match the vibrant florals in the print.

It's also my second shoot with my Turquoise Fancy Chandelier from Chandelier by NK!

In case you missed my last post (the outer space celebration HERE) with the chandelier, I'll give a little background. I am lucky enough to be one of the brand ambassadors for Chandelier by NK, which means you'll be seeing a few different styled shoots centered around this lovely piece of decor. These acrylic chandeliers are the perfect detail to add to your living space, party, or special event! You can choose from a number of different colors for the fancy chandelier (that's the one I have). It's super easy to assemble and surprisingly lightweight. It's just as amazingly beautiful in person as it is in photos!

This shoot served multiple purposes!

It was both a way to showcase the chandelier AND a One Year photoshoot for Addy and Maya.

Find links to everything pictured below, including the many lovely local makers who have work included in Addy's bedroom design!

Outer Space Celebration with Chandelier by NK

Monday, September 18, 2017 - Leave a Comment

Hi all!

I'm so excited to share this little party I put together with my Turquoise Fancy Chandelier from Chandelier by NK! I am lucky enough to be one of her brand ambassadors, which means you'll be seeing a few different styled shoots centered around this lovely piece of decor.

I'm all about bright colors, so this was the perfect opportunity for me to add a high-quality accent. These acrylic chandeliers are the perfect detail to add to your living space, party, or special event! You can choose from a number of different colors for the fancy chandelier (that's the one I have). It's super easy to assemble and surprisingly lightweight. It's just as amazingly beautiful in person as it is in photos!

For this particular shoot, I went with an outer space theme. That meant lots of stars, planets, and of course, a biscoff cake decorated within my color scheme! I learned how to make this cake from the best (Cake by Courtney) while I was in Salt Lake City last month. You definitely need to try this recipe for the best biscoff cake you will ever eat!
