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

4 Tips for Organizing Bathroom Drawers

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

{diy with style} Let There be Porch Light
When it comes to our home, I obviously like to make things pretty, but two of our top priorities are always safety and cost-savings. Until recently, however, our front porch was a major fail in both of these areas! We are fortunate to have a small covered porch that shields our front door from the crazy Colorado weather, but the two outdoor lights on the front of the house (to either side of the porch) didn't provide any light near the front door. As a result, our porch was very dark at ... View the Post
{organizing with style} My Makeup Drawer
Is your makeup a mess? It doesn't have to be! Today I'm sharing a few simple tips for keeping makeup organized in a drawer. STEP 1 - SORT & PURGE The first step to organizing any drawer is to empty it out completely. Once everything is out on the counter, begin sorting your makeup. The categories I selected were eyes, lips and face. Once I had my makeup sorted, I began to purge anything that was too old or that I just don't use anymore. I am never sure how long to keep ...

And in the ongoing process of redesigning our master bedroom for the One Room Challenge, Week 3 was that moment.
