#ad🫐A slow morning, muffins from my grandma’s #ad🫐A slow morning, muffins from my grandma’s recipe box, and Owen hanging out in his high chair - this is what breakfast looks like lately.

Details on the ikea hack built-ins are up on emmacourtneyhome.com if you’re looking for smart storage ideas that still look beautiful!

• Ceilings: flat to hide imperfections
• Walls: vary from room to room, usually matte or eggshell
