Welcome back to Week 2 of the One Room Challenge. Last week, I shared the before photos of my master bathroom and my graphic glam mood board for the space. This week it's all about all about the tile - and I'm really curious to hear your opinions! I don't know if I was living under a rock, or what, but two months ago I didn't know about cement tile. What I did know is that everywhere I turned I kept seeing photos of gorgeous, graphic tile patterns. I got it in my head that this was ... View the Post

{welcome} Here We Go…
Growing up, I was always happiest sitting at the table with crayons or pencils - so much so that, because I didn't have a middle name, I spent a great deal of effort trying to convince my parents to legally change my name to "Angela Artist." Fortunately my parents suggested I wait until I was older to make that decision (by then, of course, I had changed my mind), but they did get me a set of personalized pencils emblazoned with my unofficial "full" name. As a teenager, I spent hours ... View the Post
{swap it like it’s hot} From Thrift Store to Champagne & Diamonds
Are your ready to Swap It Like It's Hot?!

Each blogger is then challenged to come up with creative ways to repurpose whatever treasures she receives in the mail {that's the HOT part}.

DIY Wood Plank Laundry Room Countertop
When we started planning our laundry closet makeover, I had my heart set on adding a countetop over the washer and dryer, and I found a laminate counter option I loved that looked like wood planks. But when I got the quote back, the price was WAY more than I wanted to spend, so I came up with a very budget friendly option to create the look of a wood plank countertop for under $100! Today I'm sharing the tutorial for this easy and affordable DIY countertop, which would also make a great ... View the Post
Paint Chip Labels
I often have friends laugh at my love of labeling, but you guys, labeling makes me SO HAPPY! And if that's wrong, I don't want to be right! But seriously, I can't emphasize enough how important labeling is in the organizing process. It allows everyone in the house to quickly find what they need, and makes it so easy to put things away when you're done. I also love that labels allow me to add some personal style to all of my organized spaces. The key to finding the balance between style and ... View the Post

Christmas trees, and ornaments, and wreaths, OH MY! Sorry, my kids have discovered The Wizard of Oz, so we've been watching it on loop.

Stylish & Organized Life with Kids
I hear people assert all the time that you can't have nice things or a stylish home when your kids are young. Well, I'm here to disagree! When asked to define our style in just three words, and I came up with Modern. Graphic. Family. While "family" isn't a style in the traditional sense of the word, family has a huge impact on how we decorate and live in our home, and we make our design decision with the whole family in mind. Life with kids is certainly full of fun and craziness, ... View the Post
Glam White DIY Christmas Trees
A while back, my mom bought me a variety of unfinished paper mache and wood cutout Christmas trees from Hobby Lobby knowing that I would have fun figuring out a creative way to decorate them. I stalled and stalled and didn't do anything with these Christmas tree crafts for a couple of years - not because I didn't have any ideas, but because I had too many ideas and couldn't make a decision. Does anyone else have this same problem? I call it craft indecisiveness! Finally I realized that I ... View the Post
Modern Dining Room Makeover
I couldn't be more excited to share our dining room makeover with you! This has been my eighth One Room Challenge, and as always it was a race to the finish line... but we made it and the space turned out better than I had imagined. It also remains one of the hardest spaces in our house to photograph, so I hope my pictures do it justice. Our kitchen dining area was the first to be decorated when we moved into our house ten years ago this month. That's because it was one of the few rooms ... View the Post
