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.

Reasons I wear hats... 1- so I don’t have to fix my hair 2- to hide I haven’t washed my hair in days 3- because postpartum hair loss means I have a 3 inch long halo around my head that sticks straight up in this SC humidity 4- because they are cute 🧢. Luke is home from a week in China and we celebrated surviving with a lunch out and exploring our favorite downtown ever #yeahthatgreenville 💚 Happy Sunday!
I wanted to make a balloon arch for Wren’s birthday this past weekend but was kinda intimidated by how much work I thought they were. Well this one was so easy and fun to put together and I’m walking through the process on my stories- so check it out!
I took this photo in the nursery the day before Wren was born last year and today, one year and one day later we celebrated our sunshine baby turning 1 ☀️ It’s been a magical and redemptive year. The twins were born 9 weeks early at 31 weeks by emergency c-section on a very scary life threatening day for all three of us. That being my only other experience with birth totally colored my thought process of what my birth with Wren would be like. What a healing process it was having a scheduled c-section, immediate skin to skin and nursing. Having her come home from from the hospital with me (instead of being in the NICU for 8 more weeks) felt like a dream! She’s been a gift from the day we met her and we couldn’t love her more. I’m not sorry for what the twins and I went through though, God used that experience to give me a perspective of fierce gratitude that I don’t think I would have otherwise. God was working something beautiful in my story on the days I couldn’t see any positives and only saw the mountain in front of me.
Fall for me means traditions of making big batches of soup once a week until spring and rereading Harry Potter ⚡️ What traditions mean fall to you? This picture of my living room is old (see the old rug we used to have!) but it’s one of my favorites- maybe just because it looks so cozy. I hung hooks near the door and did two levels of hooks so the twins can reach their things. Now their backpacks for school hang there and they know exactly where they go when we come in the door from preschool!
