Apartment Style Three Ways, Without Buying Furniture
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of CORT. All opinions are 100% mine. My husband is a real estate appraiser specializing in commercial properties, so he spends a lot of time touring and inspecting apartment communities. When he visits new, or newly renovated, properties, he often snaps pictures of unique design and decorating ideas that he thinks I'll like {yep, he's a keeper}. Recently he picked up a CORT Furniture Rental catalog in the lobby an apartment and ... View the Post

As always, all ideas and opinions are my own. This post also contains affiliate links. Any pet lovers out there? I thought so!

{seasonal style} Beautifully Kid-Friendly Christmas Decor
Have you started decorating for Christmas yet? We put up our Christmas tree last night, with the help of our two young boys, and as we did so, I was reminded of the blog post I wrote a couple of years ago about how to keep Christmas decorations baby and kid-safe without sacrificing style.

Organized Garage Makeover
I have dreaded cleaning and organizing our garage for years now. And I honestly never thought I'd tackle it for the One Room Challenge because I couldn't imagine how I could turn raw studs and concrete into a photo worthy space. But the garage had gotten so out of hand that I had no choice but to finally do something. Since I work best under a deadline, the ORC seemed to offer me the best hope of starting and finishing the project, and the motivation to do it as well as ... View the Post

Thanksgiving Table Setting Hack
I have this thing with catalogs. I love flipping through them as soon as they hit my mailbox, and sticking little tabs on all the pages that inspire me. It's tempting to want pretty new stuff every season, but my wallet obviously doesn't agree. Recently I spotted a gorgeous collection of white and gold "thankful" tableware at Crate and Barrel {affiliate link} and thought, maybe I need special plates just for Thanksgiving... but nope, I don't. I don't have the money or the space for a ... View the Post

Just like this World Series game that's at the top of the 10th as I write this update, our One Room Challenge garage makeover is in the home stretch, but the stress levels are high! The garage was looking so good last week. I could have stood and stared all day at the rows upon rows of white drawers and shelves just waiting to be filled up and organized!
