Urban Grace Interiors {the blog} bio picture

Welcome to my blog!

My name is Erika and this is my blog.  You might have come here from my old blog- if so please update your feed or bookmark the new site... I promise it'll be much better than the old blog.  If you are new around here welcome!  I'm so glad you are here.  A little background on me: I am a new mom to a precious little girl, a designer, a wife, and the mother of two rescued dogs (Penelope & Paisley).  I am passionate about design, and I also enjoy gardening, good pens, art, photography, antiques, traveling, and rescued animals. 

If you are curious about my design business, Urban Grace Interiors, you can click that link above titled "Portfolio" that will take you to official website.  This blog is just my daily ramblings... some of which are design related, and some of which are not.  I hope you like what you find here... I aim to inspire.

 

 

working moms

I just discovered The Glow.  It’s been around for a while, but I don’t get out much.  It’s like The Selby of working (designer, artist, creative-type) moms and their children.  I got sucked in.  It doesn’t hurt that they are all gorgeous, the homes are beautiful, and the photography is amazing.

Lauren Moffatt (above) made her daughter’s dress from a women’s shirt from H&M.  I love it.  Maybe I need a sewing machine.

January 19, 2012 - 9:41 am tara faulkner - I love the pictures! I agree with you, I wish I was blessed with superhuman sewing ability and I too could make that little dress for one of my four girls!

January 19, 2012 - 10:01 am Manolos to Asolos - I just wanted to say, that I absolutely love your blog. It is quickly becoming one of my favorites! :) And thank you for sharing The Glow is such a cute site!

January 19, 2012 - 10:01 am Melissa - Wow amazing homes amazing moms! You fit into this category for sure!

January 19, 2012 - 10:02 am elizabeth - you need to be on there, erika! congrats on the new magazine article!

January 19, 2012 - 10:13 am Melanie - Oh what beautiful eye candy on this Thursday morning!!!

January 19, 2012 - 10:14 am karah - LOVE the glow! you would fit right in on that site! :)

January 19, 2012 - 10:36 am anna - It is truly empowering to see women that "have it all"....it isn't perfect, without hard work and tough choices but it works for them.

January 19, 2012 - 10:57 am bevy - very cool. i love the photography. it makes me wish someone could capture a few of those special moments shared between my daughter and myself.

January 19, 2012 - 11:39 am Cherish @ Southern Soul Mates - Absolutely stunning!!!!!

January 19, 2012 - 11:53 am MamaofThree - Thanks A LOT, Erika! An hour and half after going to THE GLOW website, I am finally prying myself from the computer and getting back to what I am really supposed to be doing! :) I am totally impressed and inspired by those mamas. Very cool.

January 19, 2012 - 11:59 am Liz - The picture of the mother and daughter on the floor kissing with the large picture of a red-hue Elizabeth Taylor in the background reminds me so much of you and Sloan.

January 19, 2012 - 12:15 pm Kirsteen - I think I love all of the photos you've posted! Amazing.

January 19, 2012 - 12:17 pm Anne W - Those photos are really cool. It did make me think though, that I kinda wish stay-at-home moms could be featured in a similar, sexy way...I don't know, maybe this is me being insecure about what I do all day? I agree that you would be a fantastic contribution to The Glow :)

January 19, 2012 - 1:01 pm Kathleen - I just clicked on the glow link at your post and an error ..something is not right here... message popped up did the site crash because soooo many of your fans are clicking on LOL wow the power of well what is this called going viral when web surfing --help come up with a better word mushrooming, I guess I will have to let the crush thin out I wish these people would get back to work or is it the lunch hour in LA

January 19, 2012 - 1:16 pm Melissa - Loving all these pictures of these beautiful women and their children! You're right they are gorgeous!....the site theglow.com is suspended :( I'll have to bookmark and go back later and check it out....now I'm interested.

January 19, 2012 - 1:20 pm Kathleen - Hey I bet the glow interest is due to a certain orange beach window

January 19, 2012 - 1:56 pm Kelly@Bungalow Blue - Thank you for posting this...so beautiful! One more website to become obsessed with, haha!

January 19, 2012 - 2:27 pm Katie @ NoodleandBoof - Gorgeous! Love all the light.

January 19, 2012 - 2:46 pm Beth (Hello Lover) - I think you broke the glow! Haha, I think I'll have to try again later to check it out!

January 19, 2012 - 3:31 pm JWK - Dying to make Pearl a dress like hers!!! You absolutely need a sewing machine!!!

January 19, 2012 - 3:41 pm meaghan - ummmm will someone please come take pictures of me like that?!?!?

January 19, 2012 - 4:31 pm Mallory - That's funny... I just came across The Glow last week and have been obsessed. I need them to add more moms.

January 19, 2012 - 4:58 pm The 1st of May - Beautiful photos! Bet you and your beautiful family will be on there soon!

January 19, 2012 - 8:27 pm Jennifer - Time for them to contact you!!! Great pics on this cold January morning! Thank you!! Can't wait to see more!

January 19, 2012 - 9:22 pm Julie - I am also a devoted follower of all of your lovely sites. Thank you for this link!

January 19, 2012 - 10:14 pm Serenia - Oh, how lovely. Thank you for introducing me to this new found blog!!!!

January 19, 2012 - 10:55 pm Jen @ Paisley Print Shoes - what fun pictures!! and i seriously want to figure out how to make that dress...that's awesome. beautiful blog you have here. :)

January 20, 2012 - 1:48 pm Whitney - That Liz Taylor pic... Ow Ow!! I like it!

January 21, 2012 - 10:08 am Kathleen - wow-- when I reflect on my childhood surroundings the clutter and ragtag surroundings all I can say if there is a will there is a way. some moms are not into decorating but today there is such inspiration --well be inspired and get moving. the thing that bothers me about the photos. of course they are styled and of course the images are posed to some degree but not forced --the thing that bugs me is the overexposure of the image in certain places the washed out spots-- is this, is this, is this the glow??

January 22, 2012 - 10:09 am Debbie - Such a fun concept. Can I please get one of those Liz in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof prints???

January 22, 2012 - 6:08 pm Anna @ The Paper Road - Just got sucked in to the GLOW...thanks:)

January 24, 2012 - 12:11 am Divya - that was a lovely collection of adorable pics...loved going through them..We, through our blog on urban living want people like you who love life to read our interesting posts and comment your feedback...we wish to see you at gettingurbane.blogspot.com.!! thanks & wishes!

January 26, 2012 - 1:09 pm Jennifer - Truly stunning....might help that I am a working Mom and love seeing others doing the same....Thanks for sharing. -JR

Apologies for posting too many photos and believe it or not there are a lot more here if you care.  We had a wonderful time at my parents farm in Southern Illinois over Christmas.  My brain isn’t working well today and I can’t seem to put words together… so I will just leave you with some photos and the promise that I will try to be back soon! Happy New Year, friends!

 

January 6, 2012 - 5:16 pm Melissa - All of those photos are amazing so no such thing as too many. Looks like you had a great holiday. All of the kids are just adorable - your lil pumpkin gets prettier and prettier!

January 6, 2012 - 5:31 pm Melissa - Such beautiful pictures, as usual....what a lovely holiday with your Family! That doll house is SO adorable!

January 6, 2012 - 5:33 pm anna - Sloan sure is stylish! Very sweet pictures.

January 6, 2012 - 5:41 pm Megan - Erika & Urban Grace ladies...I decided (on Wednesday) that I am going to go back to school to be an Interior Designer. I live in Denver, do you know of good schools in the Denver area? THANKS! & happy 20-12!

January 6, 2012 - 5:52 pm Anna @ The Paper Road - Beautiful pics - love all the colors.

January 6, 2012 - 6:12 pm a little luxe - Beautiful photos! A white Christmas! Jennifer

January 6, 2012 - 6:15 pm Laurie Jones - Looks like you and your family had a great holiday! P.S. There is no such thing as too many photos, especially of Miss Sloan! I had to laugh my Sloan (who is 13) has the same patagonia vest! Happy New Year to you!!!

January 6, 2012 - 6:23 pm Lisa Lilienthal - Every time I look at your pictures, I think, "I want a Daddy Boy."

January 6, 2012 - 6:40 pm kat @ pretty in pink and green - Love all the photos! Looks like you had a fabulous Christmas!

January 6, 2012 - 6:50 pm Candace Horner - Well I don't know that words are all that important when you have pictures like that to share; truly brought tears to spring in my eyes. Glad your holiday was merry!!

January 6, 2012 - 7:06 pm Beth - Erika, I absolutely love seeing new designs on your blog, but I have to say I end up loving your real life posts just as much. Your family is so beautiful and whenever you are all together I feel like people can actually see the love - it's so special! I live in Chicago and I have to ask where in Southern Illinois your parents farm is? The land and the town look so charming. Also, if you have anytime (which I'm sure you don't) check out todays post on my blog: http://helloloverofbeautifulthings.blogspot.com/ it is a farm wedding venue that I think you will find stunning!

January 6, 2012 - 7:07 pm Jess - Such great pictures! Looks like yall had a wonderful Christmas!!!

January 6, 2012 - 7:09 pm elizabeth - Lord Have Mercy, you have one sweet little girl!

January 6, 2012 - 7:16 pm emma (Glitter and Gold) - great photos .....wonderful memories! your whole family is beautiful!

January 6, 2012 - 7:29 pm Emily - such wonderful photos & (more importantly!) memories!! thanks for sharing!

January 6, 2012 - 8:11 pm Sarah's Fab Day - Family funny farms are the best aren't they? We had silly surburbia at my parents. We took the kids and slept there and had the kind of Christmas morning I always had as a kid. It was wonderful. Have a great 2012 Erika!

January 6, 2012 - 8:38 pm HannahJ - so wonderful-thanks for sharing your lovely family with us!

January 6, 2012 - 8:41 pm Laurel-Dawn - It looks like your family had a beautiful Christmas! I so enjoy pouring over all of your gorgeous photos! Thanks for sharing! abodelove.com

January 6, 2012 - 8:42 pm Jen @ Rambling Renovators - Such beautiful glimpses of your family. There is much love in these photos. Happy new year to you!

January 6, 2012 - 9:06 pm Whitney - Good-ness. Know wonder you have so many blog stalkers with such a beautiful family and top notch photog skills. 2 thumbs up for your hubby double fisting the Coors, & another 2 thumbs up if the fam jam farm has personalized coozies.

January 6, 2012 - 9:16 pm Linda @ MyCraftyHomeLife - Hi, I'm new here...and I think I'm seeing double?

January 6, 2012 - 9:17 pm Suzanne - What wonderful pictures of your family. Sloan is beautiful. Love the pictures of you and Darby with your dad.

January 6, 2012 - 9:28 pm Je§ica - Looks so fun! good times with family. i noticed your dad's Schnee's hat from Bozeman, sweet!

January 6, 2012 - 9:51 pm Darby - Ahh... strong work, sister! If I could just catch up with you! Love all the pics, especially the snowflake on the Rover's lashes. Hate it, poor little thing gettin' flakes caught up in them! If he'd only share his genes with his Momma & Momma Sis'! :) Lover dover you! Somehow I missed Chance's Barbie portrait until now, stunning!

January 6, 2012 - 10:15 pm Kate@daffodils - that pics of your and darby with your dad is precious (as is every other pic!) Thanks for sharing!

January 6, 2012 - 10:16 pm Christina - LOVELY photos! Looks like a dreamy Christmas with family. Your sweet girl's hair is so pretty. Did you ever go through the "mullet" stage with it? If so, what did you do? Right now my 1 year old daughter is rockin a mullet and I'm torn between continuing to let it grow and hoping the front will catch up OR trimming the back mullet part off :) thanks for sharing your photos.

January 6, 2012 - 10:17 pm Lindsey - It looks like y'all had such a wonderful time together! Happy New Year!!!

January 6, 2012 - 10:25 pm cecilia - Erika, The Fisher Price doll house! We have the same one. Watch out for the pillars on the ground floor - one of ours cracked in 1/2 a while back, but it still holds up the 2nd floor. I love seeing the photos of you and your sister - you seem so close, (and know that you are twins! but still, so nice to feel that twin-bond in your photos). I have triplet girls (4 years old) and would someday love to pick your brain about your relationship with your sister and growing up as twins. My girls are each completely different with different personalities. They are fraternal. You and your sister look identical (?). So I wonder if they'll be as close because right now they fight like cats and dogs! Your parents' farm looks soo amazing and inviting. Enjoy your time with your family.

January 6, 2012 - 10:27 pm holly - FINALLY! some DADDY BOY pictures...he has many fans i am sure of it! hope you got lots of R AND R and are back at work refreshed and ready to hit 2012..cant wait to see what you and your team!

January 6, 2012 - 11:23 pm Anne W - Those are some of the most adorable Christmas pictures ever!! Seriously! I wanna celebrate Christmas on a snowy farm in Illinois now :) And that Sloane looks just like a little doll baby!!

January 6, 2012 - 11:24 pm Anne W - Oh, and I didn't know you had such an artist for a husband :)

January 7, 2012 - 12:43 am Linda in AZ - *** I've never been here before, but the MAGNIFICENT, WARM & LOVING (and truly BEAUTIFULLY TAKEN!) photos you just shared stirred my heart... what a beauuuutiful family~~~ ALL of you! ~~~ and it's obvious here that "IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE" for you and all those you hold dear!!! Thank you for sharing~~~ it was fun!!! Linda in AZ * bellesmom1234@comcast.net

January 7, 2012 - 1:14 am Caroline - Wonderful pics of the whole family! What beautiful people. Merry Christmas!

January 7, 2012 - 7:51 am laurie - What wonderful memories.

January 7, 2012 - 8:06 am angela - My word, what a beautiful time together. I read Darby's blog too and always LOVE to see pictures of Daddy Boy and the farm! Happy New Year!

January 7, 2012 - 8:07 am angela - Ha ha...that comment sounded WEIRD...It's not that i love pictures of Daddy Boy.... But your mom and dad and the farm....and well, you know. I just need to hush.:)

January 7, 2012 - 12:56 pm Katie @ Noodle and Boof - These photos are precious! What a special time.

January 8, 2012 - 10:37 am michele cabot - Wow what a gorgeous family. You all look so happy! I just found your blog and am happy I did. Happy New Year to you and your family! MC

January 8, 2012 - 3:51 pm Heather - Our birthday twins got the same thing for Christmas!! Abby LOVES it!! The Daddy doll is often on the couch "watching princesses". I'm not sure what to make of that, ha!

January 8, 2012 - 7:29 pm jean anne collier - loved the pictures....crazy question...what is your lipstick color? jean anne collier

January 8, 2012 - 10:17 pm Meaghan - Such beautiful pictures :) I miss Darby's blog :( waaaa

January 9, 2012 - 3:25 pm Carla - oh my i think i am slightly obsessed (in a non-stalker way!!) with your beautiful family! i swear, you should all be in a magazine :) perfect and lovely pictures!!

January 9, 2012 - 4:26 pm Maggie - Hi there, I really enjoyed viewing your wonderful photos, Erica. You have a lovely family. I also have to comment on the adorable sweater coat (cream/white) that your daughter is wearing. May I ask where you purchased it? It's beautiful. -Maggie

January 9, 2012 - 5:07 pm Lindsay - Your pictures are so sweet- you can absolutely tell how wonderful your holiday was and I know you will treasure them always! I am also SO impressed by the picture quality of them all. I know you obviously have a great eye for catching details but do you mind sharing what type of camera you're using?...

January 9, 2012 - 6:34 pm kathy - What a wonderful Christmas! Hey, you showed up in my new Coastal Living! I love it! Great photo and question/answer.

January 9, 2012 - 6:36 pm kristen - beautiful pictures! umm - who is the guy in the blue button down?! and is he single?? ha!

January 9, 2012 - 8:06 pm secondoffour - These pictures are so great! You cannot beat Christmas with some snow. You are so lucky to have your parents being young grandparents and able to enjoy their grandchildren! My sisters and I think your parents are adorable.

January 10, 2012 - 9:15 pm Je§ica - Great pictures! Looks like a fun, relaxing time. I was thinking, is Sloane in a big girl bed now? If so, what did you do for bedding? Would love to see!

January 11, 2012 - 8:42 am kathay - Can you show us more pic of the camp house? What a great idea! Does your Mom blog?

January 16, 2012 - 12:21 pm Cousie - It was so great to have the whole fam together this year! Went way too fast:( Miss you and SB! xo

January 16, 2012 - 10:46 pm Jenny (Ames) Power - Hello Erika! I am not sure if you remember me but I am a fellow Chi O from Auburn just a few years older than you and Darby. I was reading my Coastal Living magazine (relishing and envying all the people who had beach houses) and saw your design column! I was so shocked and excited to see what you have accomplished. I, of course, had to jump on the web and see your design site and stumbled upon your family pics as well. I just wanted to say "congrats" on what you have accomplished and your little girl is PRECIOUS! I hope you are well and hope to catch you in Auburn or down in Santa Rosa sometime. Best, Jenny Ames Power

January 18, 2012 - 12:19 pm macy dawn - Thrilled to see your feature in the recent Coastal Living publication!

January 20, 2012 - 9:34 pm Christy - Cute pics, where in the world did you find those yellow leggings that Sloane is wearing, my daughter needs those, we have that same striped top and sweater!

January 3, 2012 - 4:22 pm CaroleJ - Just a comment on your comments section. Why can I not copy/paste from your commenters? I would love to follow & understand not having hotlinks, but not being able to select & copy/paste the web addys for their pinterest boards is irritating.

January 3, 2012 - 5:07 pm bevy - Um, yeah, you weren't kidding about Anne Scott being the pinterest queen! Over 3000 pins? Wow! I'd spend a day going through her pins! (Yes, I would go through all of them because I'm that detailed oriented, haha.) I'm kind of a weird pinner. I pin as if they're charging me money per pin. I mean, there's lots of cool things to pin, but I always ask, do I really need it? (yes, can we talk about clutter issues here?)
