The Homies 2009 made me rediscover a blog I had stumbled upon early in 2009 called Making it Lovely. Nicole Balch, the talented lady who writes it, has been working hard on transforming the bungalow she shares with her husband, baby Eleanor, a dog and three cats into a lovely home.

I admire not only Nicole’s talent of turning the bland into décor beauty but also the fact that she has managed to successfully juggle her many hats in life; renovating, blogging, being a mom and running Pink Loves Brown, her stationery shop. The blog gives you an insight into the creative process behind Nicole’s adorable home. I love the retro look of her living room, what’s your favourite?
