HEY THERE, I'M EILEEN

Eileen (me) and co (my three little daily sidekicks) exists to document my design journey. Right now that journey looks like staying at home with my three girls, design blogging, renovating our current house and designing and selling bedswings with my husband. Before kids it looked like an Architecture degree, a career working for an interior designer and flipping houses. Down the road I'll jump back into design and house flipping but right now I'm the official sandwich maker and diaper changer. I get paid less but smooshing baby cheeks makes it worth it.

Over the weekend I went to a local book sale and bought 20 gorgeous vintage books for $20 total 😱 I zhushed up our bookshelves with them and shared the process on my stories. I tucked in some of my favorite family things as well, the vintage DIY type letters from @hohumhollow, a mini Eiffel Tower we bought in France and our family @chatbooks and @shutterfly books. I use the Chatbooks for quick family photos and captions of things I want to remember that the girls are doing and every year I do a few shutterfly books with more detailed memories (normally I do these books during the winter when we have a sick week and I’m spending lots of time at home. I also have the Shutterfly app so uploading photos for a book is a breeze. I use the same template and fonts for all the books. It’s a pretty easy process that takes me less and less time as I do it more!) It totally works for us and the twins love thumbing through the books!
Hey, Hi it’s Eileen. I have a passion for renovating, simplicity in design and this city we live in #yeahthatgreenville. I live for Jesus, my family and chocolate croissants. My husband and I have three girls born just over three years apart (4 year old twins and an almost 1 year old). Greenville is a contagiously energetic place to live, I feel like creative energy is in the air here and I love it. Its full of beautiful outdoor spaces and hikes as well as local shops and makers knocking it out of the park (like the talented @billiamjeans who made my hat). The restaurant scene and downtown are well known for a reason and there is a push toward living locally that we love. I’m so grateful to be here and be a part of it all- and I want to do my part to encourage it in any way I can. Community over competition! Anyhow, thanks for being here and following along.
Cheese puffs with a side of smothering baby sissy with kisses on the porch. Loving the new look the bedswing got with the porch makeover. Buying end of season worked out so well, I got some of the outdoor pillows for $7 at @target! (All the info on the bedswings we build and sell on the website, just look for the bedswing page).
When we first started all the work on the porch I promised myself I wouldn’t order any of the “fun” stuff like rugs or decor until all the painting was done. Made it so satisfying to finally get the layered doormats down (the striped one took 3 weeks to come in). I had to stalk it on amazon for weeks!
