Creating the design and unique pieces for Pipers nursery was so special. It’s crazy to think that all began over two years ago! We went through a move to a new home and kept her nursery JUST the same (for this mommas heart 💗) and it’s always been one of my favorite rooms! But we are talking about making a few changes for her BIG girl room soon! She’s surely growing up! 😩 Numerous attempts of climbing out of the crib make me think she’s ready for A BED and a few new ‘big girl’ changes! 🤷🏻‍♀️ What’s your favorite part of your little’s room?! What did you keep in there when transitioning? I think this living space still sits pretty high on my ‘top favorites’ list of transformations and client relationships! The whole process with this family was a dream! They trusted my vision and selections out of the gate and gave me the go-ahead to take full control of the design! That’s when a project turns out best! I’m so excited to show you guys some more fun projects we are currently working on and the big transformations that are in store! 🙌🏼 Being your own boss is such an amazing opportunity but it takes lots of work and long hours — I’m thankful for this opportunity and for #sarahscottdesigns - it’s truly a DREAM to get to do what I love, for clients I love, with the little girl I love (usually) by my side! Thanking all of those today who have believed in me & my passions and cheered me on through every season 🙌🏼 Y’all are the reason THIS is possible. #nationalbossday Did anyone else’s Monday feel just like a MONDAY?! 🤷🏻‍♀️I am here to tell ya, I feel you. I got frustrated with so many things today.. some of which included that cute little sassy 2 year old we now have. But some were just life moments that knocked me down and made getting back up tough. Some of those moments included just being so emotionally drained that I want to just throw my hands in the air. Sure, they may seem like little things that festered up and created this one ‘big’ thing that was still not even that big in the grand scheme of things.. but most of all, today I just miss my mom more than anything. it’s so hard to explain the feeling of being so worn down and knowing that one little phonecall will lift you back up. It’s crazy, because even if I didn’t have that one phonecall I would still know she’s just a few hours away cheering her daughter on. No matter what my days would look like, Mom found a way to turn them into victories. She always had a ‘matter of fact’ way of looking at things. And today, that’s what I needed. I needed my mom. I guess today I was reminded again WHY I do things .. to make her proud. 💗 I pick myself back up from life’s crazy challenges because that’s what she would do & it’s what she would want me to do. She loved seeing me chase my dreams. She loved hearing about design projects and sweet clients. She loved hearing what kind of play dates I took Piper on that day. It was like I could feel her grinning through the phone when I called to tell her about it. Sorry for the rant, but I say all of this to say; keep fighting the good fight. You’ve got it in you! And I’m sure my mom would say the same thing. 💕 You’re so fun to celebrate 🎊 Happy birthday our sweet Piper Marie 💗 Today finally felt like fall! 🍁 Annnnnnddddddd Piper picked some pretty great pumpkins for her big 2nd birthday! 🎃 Like mommy, like daughter 📷 // more details and playroom close ups to come! Here’s a sneak peak of what me and my little assistant have been working on in there 🤗 This picture was taken almost 2 months ago. I tell you this not because I miss the summer time or wish I were on this boat right now .. or something clever about fall.. I tell you this because I’m reminded just how much things have changed and how much life has been lived in 2 short months. 2 months without my mom. 2 months of watching Piper come alive more than ever before and no mom to call to talk about our crazy day with. 2 months without ‘face time sessions’ because we live 4 hours away from Mawmaw. 2 months of navigating this life without my mom cheering me on and encouraging me by simply watching HER fight every. single. day and put on a brave face. 2 months of going to bed literally dreaming of her because it’s the only way I see her. It’s been two whole months and so much I feel like has changed, but she’s not here to tell that to. 2 months without your mom can seem like an eternity. 2 months is enough time for it to REALLY sink in that she’s not coming back, on this side of heaven. 2 months of wishing so many things were different or that she never had to fight the battle of cancer in the first place. 2 months of wondering how my dad is doing it without his partner. 2 months of also wondering what does the future of our family even look like? It’s a scary thing y’all. It’s hard. It’s messy. It comes in waves and time is the one reminder of just how long you’ve gone without them and how long it’s been since you’ve heard their voice. 2 months is a hard milestone. 2 months of wishing this was all a bad dream. I miss you Mom, more than I can even put into words. I had someone tell me the other day “Your mom really must have raised you girls right because you both seem so incredibly strong..” a part of me laughed because I feel the opposite of strong and a part of me wanted to cry because she’s right, my mom was the best example of STRENGTH and taught us how to even take on this world and all that it could throw our way. For that, I’m forever grateful. I love you, Mom. 💚 When it comes to house projects, I feel like we are so slow to complete them. 😩 We talk about it for a while, we plan, we buy materials, then we spend weeks trying to PICK a week that works to even begin the project. Anyone else?! 🙋🏻‍♀️ It so hard to just GET STARTED! It can feel overwhelming & daunting. Even the smallest ones.. picking window treatments, styling a mantle, refreshing front porch (see last post) 😬, I could go on and on. But it’s funny, because when it’s not my OWN home, it GETS DONE! 👊🏼 decisions get made, actions are taken, plans are executed! Coming soon we have a full wall of builtins to style and we could not be more excited! That sort of thing does take a lot of planning, but we are always up for the challenge (for our clients) 😂 Needing a little more motivation for my OWN home buuuuuttt.. here’s a little pretty inspo for this Monday morning as we prep for the install and gather the perfect ‘styling objects’ via @studiomcgee Wilmington friends, we are on the hunt for LARGE mums! And preferably the red/magenta ones! Any luck finding them? Piper and I are excited to finish our front porch fall refresh & share it with you guys 🍁 but we are missing a few key components — mums & more pumpkins! 😲 .. also a little cooler weather would be great too 👌🏼 I am so thankful that we have been spending lots more time in here recently! We are almost done with transforming this little space into Piper’s dream world! I will be sharing more before and after pics next week (possibly a whole blog post on our selections, etc) 🤔 but for now, just a pic of my girl “cooking up the best lunch!” in the kitchen that her mawmaw gave her last year for her birthday! It will forever be such a SPECIAL piece in this room! 💚Happy Friday y’all! Happy birthday to the man that holds our family together 🤗 We are so grateful to have such a strong, supportive, loving, hilarious husband and daddy in our lives! Celebrating you is easy, Kevin! 😘
