Resin Magnolia Paintings

New Commissioned Paintings from Mary Margaret Monsees

Today I'm giving you a behind the scenes look at a very talented Savannah-based artist and friend, Mary Margaret Monsees with M Studio. As you may know, I already have her intricate flower studies in my double parlor as a gallery wall. I've shared these beauties all over my Instagram and I loved them so much that I commissioned coordinating magnolia flowers above my fireplace. Since Casey and I have had a blossoming Magnolia tree in every home that we've owned, I opted to have this classic Southern flower as a focal point above our fireplace in our double parlor. Mary Margaret is well-known for her resin paintings so we decided to commission the Magnolia paintings in resin too. The paintings are absolutely gorgeous and I love the subtle sheen that the resin top…

My Christmas Cards

And Our Big Announcement

Our Christmas cards this year were extra special. Why? Because we announced that we're expecting a baby this spring! It was the perfect opportunity to share the exciting news to our close family and friends before anything was public on social media. Of course, I turned to Dixie Designs to find the perfect card. I partnered with this Birmingham-based company on a stationary collection last year and fell in love with their classic designs. I ended up choosing their Holiday Trimmings design in partnership with Erin Gates. In addition to holiday cards, Dixie Design offer menus, place cards, birth announcements and much more. I hope that you had a great holiday with family and friends. Tamara Gibson Photography

Make More Meaningful Dinners

Cook Together with Loved Ones this Holiday Season

This Post is in Partnership with Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove.Thank You for Supporting the Brands that Support Lavin Label. Let's be honest. Sometimes the things we enjoy, like taking the time to cook dinner for the family, can become daunting and cumbersome after a long day of work and tackling chores. It can even be more tiresome during the holiday season because we're tasked with so many things, like decorating the house, watering the tree, constantly cleaning up pine needles and shopping for everyone on our Christmas list! With the hustle and bustle this season brings, it’s hard to remember the holidays aren’t just about checking items off a to-do list. They’re about creating quality moments with loved ones. So this holiday season, my goal is to create more meaningful and intimate memories with…

My Main Bathroom Reveal

A Traditional and Functional Space

Today, I'm sharing my main bathroom reveal in our Savannah home! This project has been so much fun and I couldn't be happier with the final design. It's now a light, bright and airy space -- exactly how I envisioned my master bathroom! Before. But first, let's take a look at the 'before' pictures. When we first bought our home last fall, the master bathroom wasn't functional for two people. It only had one sink with a lot of unnecessary walls that made the space feel dark and small. We worked with Chad Goehring from Harrison Design to redesign the room. It was important to maximize the space and add a soaking tub, double vanity and private water closet. Chad worked with us for our master bedroom closet design and we were so happy…
