Boys Hangout Room Reveal

As a Christmas present for the boys, we updated Beckett's old bedroom into a playroom and hangout room where the boys can spend time relaxing, playing, and watching movies. We revealed this updated space to the boys on Christmas day, but throughout the past month I've been sharing the makeover process here on the blog as part of the New Year New Room challenge. Today I'm so excited to share all the photos of the updated hangout room! The other seven talented bloggers participating in the ... View the Post

Playroom Refresh Progress

It's Week 3 of the New Year New Room Refresh Challenge, which means just one more week until I get to share the final photos of the boys' new playroom.

It's Week 2 of the New Year New Room Refresh Challenge. Last week, I shared the before photos of the former bedroom that we recently converted into a playroom / hangout room better suited to our growing boys. This week, I'm talking about playroom furniture and how to choose hard working pieces that add both style and function to the space. Six years ago, I wrote a popular post titled "How to Decorate a Boy's Bedroom That Will Grow With Him." In that post, I made a pretty bold statement - I ... View the Post

I think we can all agree that 2020 was a rough year, but it also solidified my belief in the importance of creating a home you love! Having fun and comfortable spaces where you can just relax and enjoy family time is one of the greatest gifts! All of the extra time at home this past year also shined a light on the spaces in our house that aren't working as well for us as they could be - especially the kids' play area in our basement, and Beckett's former bedroom. Both of these areas were ... View the Post

Candle Storage Ideas

Until recently, I'd never given much thought to how to store candles. Years ago I haphazardly stuck all of our candles into a couple of lidded boxes and put them on the shelves in our entry table. It worked ok... for a while, but eventually I had to admit that I needed to come up with a better candle storage idea. I like to make simple changes to our decor for each season and holiday, so I have quite a few pillar candles, tapers, votives, and tea lights in various colors. Over the years, as I ...

Colorful and Modern Oriental Rugs

If you'd asked me few years ago if I'd ever add an oriental rug in my modern living room, I would have told you no way. But this traditional style of rug has made a playful comeback in recent years with lots of bold, colorful options. At the beginning of the year, we repainted our living room walls from teal to gray, and added an entire wall of white book shelves (get the details on how we customized these IKEA bookshelves). After the updates, our living room was feeling a little too neutral ... View the Post

Affordable Student Desks for Remote Learning and Home Schooling

As information from school districts around the country continues to evolve regarding the return to in-person school versus remote learning for the fall, I've heard from many friends who are struggling to find small, affordable desks for their kids to create a dedicated school-at-home work space. Just about everyone I know has made IKEA their first stop, which makes sense because you can't beat the price, but from what I'm hearing, desks at IKEA are almost completely out of stock. In fact, ... View the Post
