Like many cities, Denver has well preserved pockets of mid century modern homes built between 1935 and the mid-1950s, including Arapahoe Acres, the first mid-mod neighborhood to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. But if you think mid-mod is just a thing of the past, think again! A brand new Denver neighborhood is bringing an updated version of mid century modern to a new generation. Last month I shared a photo from one of these homes on Instagram. You guys loved it ... View the Post

{style inspiration} How to Add Some Mid-Mod Style to Your Home
When I was a kid, my parents like to "go a for drive" - just an afternoon in the car driving and looking around. As a kid, I didn't get this at all. So we are just going to sit in the car all day? And look at stuff? Boring! But now as an adult I totally get it! One of Scott's and my favorite things to do is to drive around Denver neighborhoods {especially when the kids fall asleep in the car} and look at houses - big houses, small house, old, new... we just love seeing all the styles and ...

Five Ways to Get Your Home Organized With Cricut Joy
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cricut. All opinions are 100% mine. Cricut has long been established as the ultimate crafting tool! And while I get my craft on from time to time, I've always used my Cricut cutting machine primarily for organizing. While I love my Cricut Explore Air (and am coveting a Cricut Maker for it's ability to cut even more materials), the truth is that both machines are much more powerful than what I need for the majority of my projects. I love ... View the Post
How to Create a Custom Door Label with Cricut
A year after completing the makeover of our master bathroom, the barn door on our closet remains one of my favorite details of the space! Based on your comments, it seems to be one of your favorite features as well. Over time, a lot of you have asked me how we added the "Dressing Room" label to the barn door, so today I wanted to share the easy DIY tutorial. I created this custom door label using my Cricut electronic cutter, which is one of the most versatile and fun tools I own for decor, ... View the Post
Door Knobs are a Girl’s Best Friend
You know how once you become familiar with something, you suddenly start seeing it or hearing about it everywhere you go? It's just that phenomenon that has had me be a bit obsessed with door knobs and door levers lately. The folks over at Schlage® are equally obsessed with door hardware, and I'm so grateful to them for sponsoring this post, but as always, all ideas and opinions are my own. Last month, we replaced our old front door lock and handle with a smarter and more stylish, keyless ... View the Post

24" x 24" picture frames (matted to 11"x14") FAMILY ROOMYou had mentioned wanting a new side table by the couch, and a new rug in front of the chairs by the kitchen. I like these acrylic nesting tables because they don't take up any visual space. You can keep the tables together most of the time,but can separate them out if you need more table space when entertaining. The rug is in the same color tones as your current rug, but a bit more graphic. The grays in the rug would look good with the ... View the Post
{style inspiration} Making Marsala Modern: Learning to Love the 2015 Pantone Color of the Year
I'll admit that when I first saw Pantone's pick for the 2015 Color of the Year, I was disappointed! My style is very modern and I tend to prefer cool colors for the majority of my home, with pops of brighter colors here and there. My first reaction was that Marsala and modern JUST. DON'T. MIX! In fact, I have had a Marsala colored chair and a pair of lamps in my home office for about 10 years, and for a while now I've been wanting to redo that room and reupholster the chair ...

My Home Style: Before & After Edition
Last fall, I teamed up with a group of 20 bloggers to share our unique decorating styles. We were each challenged by our host, Stephanie of Casa Watkins Living, to come up with just three words to define our style. I debated a long time about what my three words should be - modern? urban? colorful? bold? Finally I settled on MODERN. GRAPHIC. FAMILY. This week, we are revisiting our design definitions, but this time each participating blogger is sharing before and after photos that ... View the Post
Organizing Kids Toys with Labels that Are Easy to Update
Raise your hand if you love to label ALL. THE. THINGS? Me too! Labeling is one of the most important steps in the process of creating an organized space, because it makes it easy for everyone in the family to find what they need, and makes it much easier to put everything away where it belongs. But not all labels are created equal. A label is only good if it's accurate, so it's important to make labels easy to update for those spots in the house where the contents are likely to change ...

Pretty Pantry Labels Three Ways + FREE PRINTABLE LABELS
Last week I shared my five steps for creating an organized and pretty pantry, and I gave you a tour of our pantry space. Over a year after first completing our pantry makeover, the space is functioning just as well today as it did on day one - and I believe we have the labels to thank for that! Without labels, our pantry would just be a sea of matching white bins. I would have a pretty good idea of what goes where, since I organized it to start with, but imagine my poor kids and husband! They ... View the Post
