Imitation Is The Greatest Form of Flattery

Recently (why just recently? I've been missing out!) I discovered "Jones Design Company" and was blown away. Emily is a mom of four and has the Martha Stewart gene for sure. Look how cute she is!



She posts awesome projects, creates beautiful stationary and has a gorgeous home. Here are some of my favorites from her blog...

Her Office:



The Nursery:





And whenever we have babies, I would love to make some cute burp clothes just like these:



But you're probably familiar with this blog and are like - enough already... what's with the title of the post? Well, my absolute favorite of all favorites from Emily's blog is her monthly giveaway:





Isn't it amazing?! She chooses sweet little things that fit in with the season to create an adorable vignette. Who wouldn't want to win this? You can enter here!

I'd love to do something similar. I know, it's a total rip off of her originality, but it's such a great idea. It is a great exercise for regular (and seasonal) inspiration, and also a chance to share with my readers. So keep an eye out at the end of the month, I'm pretty sure I'll do one for November.

    I can't imagine how she did the wall stencil with a baby and 3 boys...

  11. I love your blog! Just started reading. I'm in love with that blue pillow on the chair on your office. If you don't mind me asking, where did you find it? It's the perfect shade of blue!
