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.

One of my favorite views in my house is the view down the hall to our bedroom. It is such a ✨ light filled space with the wall of windows and doors and vaulted ceilings and everything painted white. I love it. ✨ We have a few life paced design plans for this space though! We don’t have a master bathroom and would love to add one. We’ve lived here for almost 5 years and right now we share the hall bath with the girls. It’s totally doable but momma would love a tub downstairs! The main bath has a walk in shower. Our plan is to squeeze in a master bathroom in the space behind the right wall in the hallway you see here, take the existing closet space and come into the room a foot or two. It will be tight but doable! We added a bathroom to existing sq footage in our old home and it’s one of the ways we added a lot of value to our sales price. We are hoping to get our project started next year if we can, fingers crossed!
I want to know - what is the top vintage piece you are looking for? I’m so interested to know what everyone is shopping for. Comment below and let’s see if everyone is looking for the same thing! For my house right now- I’m on the hunt for some clean lined Windsor dining chairs- I have two mismatched ones at my kitchen table and I love the idea of having a full 6 mismatched Windsor chairs around it. I love the idea of them all looking collected over time but still related. 💛 Yellow is my favorite and these new to the shop 6 mid century chairs covered in that happy Trina Turk Schumacher bring me so much joy! And check that bamboo dining table- the medallion below is so special! All now available at @cottagegrovevintage - and a fun time lapse video of our almost 4 hour refresh yesterday in my stories!
So I know I’m not supposed to play favorites butttttttt this emerald lacquered mid mod bar cart/ cabinet is probably it. Has the best storage - swipe to see and the shiniest finish. Perfectly finished with that black lamp from @sydlougreenville and the fun tassel from @crazydaisyfinds . Screen by @foxhillvintage . All available today at @cottagegrovevintage . $325 and 34.5 w 36 t 17d.
You get a basket... and you get a basket.. everyone gets a basket! @sydlougreenville and I added some fun pieces to our space in @cottagegrovevintage yesterday, because shoppers wiped us out over the weekend! THANK YOU! See my stories for a #weeklyshoptour of our space and prices on everything you see here (gorgeous rug is @flooredgreenville). 🌿 Also @sydlougreenville and I did a fun behind the scenes stories series on how it works with a shared space in the shop and how we met (we are actually back door neighbors)! I saved it in a stories highlight if you are interested in learning more about how we got started selling vintage and how we found a partner to do it with! #yeahthatgreenville
