Kate Spade inspired striped polka dot Valentine's decor

Valentine’s Day Decor: DIY Kate Spade Inspired Xs and Os

Raise your hand if you love Kate Spade. Yep, that's what I thought! Me too! I love all things Kate Spade, but those iconic black and white stripes and gold polka dots are especially swoon worthy! So when I decided to add some quick and easy Valentine's Day decor to our home, I drew my inspiration from Kate. As you probably know by now, paper mache letters from Hobby Lobby are one of my favorite craft supplies. I've used them for numerous other projects {like the Restoration Hardware ... View the Post

Pretty File Folders

Five Minute Friday

Pretty File Folders

My bloggy friend, Melissa from A Prudent Life, and I have so much in common - including our love of pretty office supplies and Gilmore Girls! But since Gilmore Girls is a bit off topic for Five Minute Friday, let's instead talk office supplies... I have a weakness for notebooks with stylish covers, jars of colorful paperclips make my heart go pitter patter, and pretty file folders can stop me in my tracks! But buying cute, patterned file folders can be expensive, making them impractical for ... View the Post

Reasons I Love You Valentine’s Day Countdown Banner

This post is sponsored by Target and American Crafts, but all opinions are my own. Read my full disclosure. My boys LOVED the Countdown to Santa calendar that I drew on our chalkboard wall for Christmas, so I knew I wanted to create a fun Valentine's Day "advent" calendar for February. When Target offered to send me a box of Valentine's themed American Crafts craft supplies from their One Spot, I jumped at the chance. As soon as the box arrived on my doorstep I ripped it open and was ... View the Post

{organizing with style} Matching Spice Jars & Ombre Spice Racks In the Pantry

They say time flies when you are having fun, so I must be having a lot of fun organizing our home! I am slowly working to get caught up blogging about projects I completed last year, and, looking at the date stamps on the photos of the spice racks we installed in the pantry, I realize that I've been enjoying this beauty of a project for well over six months now! #badblogger  But I'm a glass half full kind of girl, so I'll put a positive spin on my tardiness in sharing this project... ...

{five minute friday} Organizing Sippy Cups & Water Bottles

I'm hitting publish on today's Five Minute Friday post much later in the day than I had planned, but there have been some exciting things happening here today! I can't spill the beans just yet, but hopefully I'll have a big announcement sometime next week! In the meantime, I know you all love organization as much as I do...so let's talk about that. If you have kids, then you know exactly what I mean when I say that sippy cups are a pain in the rear end! They take up a lot of space (especially ... View the Post

{please VOTE!} I Made the Top 10 in the Best DIY Project of 2014 Contest – Vote For the Big Winner

Pinch me! A few weeks ago I entered the Best DIY Project contest being hosted by the lovely Stacy Risenmay at Not JUST a Housewife. And would you believe that out of 275 entries, the menswear inspired bedroom that I designed for Beckett was selected by an impressive panel of guest judges as one of the TOP TEN!  The competition is fierce {no joke - we are talking about some big time bloggers here}, but I am so completely honored and flattered to have made the Top 10 list! Beckett's room ... View the Post

{shop the room} Modern Metro Master Bedroom Source List

Wow! I can't believe it's been two months since the One Room Challenge ended and I revealed my completed Modern Metro Master Bedroom Makeover! Because the completion of the room fell so close to the holidays, I got busy with Christmas posts and never followed up to share some of the details of the room, including the DIY tutorials. But recently I have received a few emails and comments asking about various items in the room, so I decided it was time to turn my attention back to the room and ... View the Post

{five minute friday} A Simple Way to Organize Purses on a Shelf

I am slowly taking control of my closet! It's a pretty standard builder grade set up with hanging space and a few shelves. I would LOVE to start fresh with a custom closet with features like a built in shoe rack, drawers, and divided cubbies for my purses. But alas, spending money on a custom closet system is very low on our priority list. Instead, I've been slowly tweaking things in the closet {one five minute project at a time}, finding ways to make the space function more like a custom ... View the Post

{organizing with style} 10 Steps to Get Organized and STAY ORGANIZED

On Monday, I shared an ambitious list of decorating and organizing projects that I hope to accomplish in 2015. Among the projects on the list are numerous areas of our home that I've organized {and reorganized} in the past, but that need attention again because they just aren't working for us. So before I tackle these spaces yet again, I decided to take a step back and figure out why some of our spaces stay so well organized while others continue to be problem spots. After taking the time to ... View the Post

{planning} 2015 List Making: Decorating and Organizing Plans for the New Year

Are you a list maker? I am! I use the Reminders app on my iPhone to make lists for everything in my life, from shopping lists and general to dos, to lists of future projects and plans for each room of our home. We spent last week enjoying lots of family time in the mountains, and on the way home we got stuck in traffic. Rather than being frustrated by the delay, Scott and I used the time {while the kids gloriously slept in the backseat} to review our project lists for each room of our house - ... View the Post
