These are some things that have helped me in keeping up with all the responsibilities before AND after baby!

I love the Craftsman architecture, but I admit I'm not as much of a fan of some of the decor. I like to put a modern take on the aesthetic with brighter bolder colors and decor juxtaposed with the natural materials and artisan details of the period. The Arts and Crafts era, which flourished from the late 19th to early 20th century, was a design movement that emphasized craftsmanship, simplicity, and natural materials in response to the industrial revolution’s mass production. In home décor and design, it featured handcrafted wood furniture, built-in cabinetry, stained glass, and earthy color palettes inspired by nature. Hallmarks include exposed joinery, stylized floral and geometric motifs, and the use of materials like oak, copper, and ceramic tile. Prominent figures in the movement include William Morris, known for his intricate wallpaper and textile designs, and Gustav Stickley, a key figure in American Arts and Crafts furniture. Their work reflected the movement’s core values: beauty through function, honest materials, and a connection to the handmade.This list contains modern takes and vintage reproductions on this iconic style.
