In my first post about the nursery, I talked about my design inspiration and color selections. Once we had settled on the paint colors, I knew it was time to get serious about purchasing furniture for the room. Since the room we are using as the nursery is quite narrow - measuring 9’ x 14’, with an additional 4’ x 2.5’ nook next to the closet, I figured we'd better start with some space planning. First I made a list of the furniture pieces I felt were necessary in the ... View the Post

Genius Wrapping Paper Organizer Ideas
I don't do a lot of shopping right after the holidays, but I always try to hit a few of my favorite stores for clearance wrapping paper, ribbons, and bows to restock for the next year. I especially like choosing wrapping paper with non-traditional Christmas colors and classic patterns, like polka dots, stripes and plaids, that are versatile enough to be used for birthdays and other holidays as well. This also makes this the perfect time to think about how to organize gift wrap ... View the Post
Behind the Scenes of My Better Homes & Gardens Photo Shoot
When I was in law school rushing home from my contracts class everyday so I wouldn't miss an episode of Trading Spaces, I could have never imagined that one day I'd see photos of me and my home spread across two pages of Better Homes & Gardens.

Gift Guide: Rehearsal Survival Kit for Musicians

Adding an adjustable second row of hanging space for the boys' coats - down at their level - has been a game changer. But there was one thing I failed ... View the Post
