I organized our master bathroom drawers shortly after we moved into our house six years ago, and I must have done something right, because the drawers are just as organized today as they were on day one. That almost never happens!! Usually I have to reevaluate every so often and tweak the system to better suit our changing needs. But somehow I managed to get our bathroom drawers right on the first try! Obviously, what's right for us won’t necessarily be right for you, but I can share a few ... View the Post

{family} When Beckett Met Cooper
Yesterday, I blogged about the Big Brother Kit that we gave to Beckett right after Cooper was born. When my parents brought Beckett to the hospital we had him spend a few minutes in the room with just his dad and I before bringing in Cooper. We wanted to ensure that Beckett had time to see that I was ok and to get some one-on-one attention before being introduced to the little baby that was about to change his world. We had been talking to Beckett throughout my pregnancy ... View the Post
{blogiversary} Celebrating One Year With a Top Ten Roundup
Happy Blogiversary to Me! Happy Blogiversary to Me! Happy Blogiversary, Blue i Style... That's right, it was one year ago today that I started this little blog, and what a year it's been! When I started, I had one little boy, and now I have two! When I started, I was working full time as an attorney, and now I'm lucky enough to be staying home with my two kiddos! When I started, I didn't know if anyone would read my blog {except maybe my husband and my mom}, and now I know that I have ... View the Post

An Easy Way to File Recipe Clippings and Delivery Menus
Try as I might, magazines always manage to pile up around our house. But I just can't let go of them until I've had a chance to tear out any ideas I might want to save for later - especially recipes. So this morning, while the kids played, I dedicated an hour to flipping through a stack of magazines, tearing out all the recipes I want to try. As the I tossed all the recipe clippings into a pile, I realized today would be a perfect time to show you the simple filing system I use in the kitchen ... View the Post
{decorating with style} Nursery Reveal!
If you’ve been following along with my blog posts, then you know that our nursery has been in use for over a year now, but I have been reliving the design process through a series of posts about the design concept, the space plan and furniture, and how we painted the ombre wall stripes. And now, the moment I’m sure you’ve all been waiting for (*wink*wink*)... the big reveal of the finished room!But first, a couple of reminders. Here is the moodboard I created for the nursery - ...

{organizing with style} Small Sewing Space Inspiration
When I was in elementary school and junior high, I took sewing lessons and learned all the basics, but until last year, I never owned a sewing machine of my own. Over the years, my mom {who is a very talented sewer} asked me many times if I would like a machine, but I always said no because I had no where to put it and knew that I wouldn't really use it if I had to drag it out to the kitchen table and then put it away each time. I knew that in order to justify owning a sewing machine, I needed ... View the Post

Restaurant Kit Update: Dining Out with Kids
You've spoken, and I finally listened! For quite a while I've been receiving requests for an updated post on our restaurant kit now that the boys are a little bit older, so today I give you Restaurant Kit Version 2.0 - The Preschooler Edition. If you don't know what I'm talking about, let me quickly fill you in. A couple of years ago, when Beckett was 2 and Cooper was just 6 months old, I was that mom with the overstuffed diaper bag who still managed to not have everything I needed when we ... View the Post
Vintage Industrial Letters
I have a major thing for typography, so I can't get enough of letters and words in home decor. From the moment that we decided on the Vintage Preppy theme for Beckett's new room, I have had my eye on the Vintage Industrial Wall Letters from Restoration Hardware Baby & Child. My original thought was to spell out Beckett's entire name, but that would have cost me over $100, and I just wasn't willing to spend that much! As the plan for the room evolved, I decided that it might be better to ... View the Post
{seasonal style} Christmas in July – DIY, Craft & Decor Ideas for Those that Like to Plan Ahead
One of the complaints I hear about holiday craft tutorials is that they are often shared on blogs too close to the actual holiday, not allowing time for you to make your own! And I totally get that! Every year I have the best intentions to get my holiday decorating and crafts done well in advance - not just to share them with you timely, but also to reduce my own stress level! But alas, I generally find myself working down to the wire and can't always share my projects as early as I would ... View the Post
{organizing with style} Cabinet Pulls Turned Scarf Hangers
I realize that most of my recent posts have been very baby-centered, and with baby number 2 arriving VERY SOON, there will be lots more baby related posts to come. But I thought I'd give you all a break with something a bit more "adult." My collection of scarves has grown quite a bit since I first organized our master bedroom closet a few years back. At that time, I added some small drawers from the Container Store to one of the closet shelves, and neatly folded all of my scarves into ... View the Post
