I Love Him

>> Sunday, May 19, 2013

I'm sure it is not terribly uncommon, but when I was pregnant, I was genuinely nervous about loving Wells as much as I love Remi. In my mind I would have had to split my love for Remi and give half to Wells. The thought of it made me sad. But amazingly, it is not like that at all. The moment Wells entered the world my capacity to love grew. I literally feel like the size of my heart has doubled, sometimes it feels like it might even explode.

Well, Hello There!

So...we had a baby! He's a boy. We named him Wells Oliver. I blinked and he turned two months old yesterday. I'm pretty sure he is growing more as I type. We love him big time.

His big brother is growing as well. He turned two in April and is pretty much the best big brother ever.

He loves to read, so much in fact that he hardly lets me get a word in. But Wells and I don't mind. We've been getting a lot of reading time in on our own, currently thoroughly enjoying this.

I had forgotten about some of the newborn sweetness from my last go around. I wish I could bottle up the scent of the top of his head and smell it everyday for the rest of my life.

He also has some pretty awesome hair.

I am working again now, which makes life crazy, but a really wonderful crazy. I have several exciting new projects I am starting this month. If you are still reading, thanks for sticking around! I'm going to do my best to come back soon with the final results of my nursery in a closet!

This month Boston Home Magazine came out with their Spring issue and included one of my South End projects. It was such a fun experience and I am super excited to be included. You can check out the article online HERE.

I also wanted to give a huge high five to the very talented Bob O'Connor who pretty much nailed my "can you try to make me not look seven months pregnant?" request. Thanks Bob:)

Thank you as well to Marni Katz and Boston Home Magazine!

I've got one more for you! This one may be my favorite before and after of the year, although the additional square footage we captured for the bathroom in Arlington really does make for a luxurious space. But as I have mentioned before, I love designing small spaces. It's challenging and seems very applicable to the part of the country I am practicing in, where it is not uncommon to pay a million dollars for a 2.5 bedroom home. At 500 sf, this apartment is definitely small.

The family purchased the unit as an investment and it is where their twenty something year old daughter currently resides. They really let her call the shots as far as the renovation goes and it was such a fun experience, kind of like designing for my 24 year old self.
