Apartment Style Three Ways, Without Buying Furniture

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of CORT. All opinions are 100% mine. My husband is a real estate appraiser specializing in commercial properties, so he spends a lot of time touring and inspecting apartment communities. When he visits new, or newly renovated, properties, he often snaps pictures of unique design and decorating ideas that he thinks I'll like {yep, he's a keeper}. Recently he picked up a CORT Furniture Rental catalog in the lobby an apartment and ... View the Post

Why You Need a Five Minute To Do List

Around this time I always start thinking about my goals for the upcoming new year. I'm not really one for specific New Years Resolutions, but I do like to sit down and think about what I'd like to accomplish and how I can be more productive. The conclusion I always come to... I need more hours in the day! Who can relate?! Today I've got a tip that can help us all find a little extra time in our days, and I want to thank Pilot Corporation of America for sponsoring this post. My goal as a ... View the Post

How to Apply RockSolid Metallic Garage Floor Finish

I am so excited to show you our brand spanking new RockSolid metallic garage floor coating! Isn't she stunning?! {Yep, I've decided she's a she.} We are well on our way to transforming the garage in to our very own DIY retreat! In this post, I have lots of photos and a full tutorial of this shiny, happy metallic floor finish. First though, I have to come clean and admit that this was one of those DIY projects that I really wanted to do, but I was so scared I'd mess it up! Now that ... View the Post

DIY Ornament Magnets for a Chalkboard Christmas Tree

Christmas is right around the corner, and in between the hectic last minute shopping and present wrapping, I found time for one more fun project for my boys to enjoy in this final week of the season. The magnetic chalkboard wall in our kitchen is a family favorite, and we often incorporate it into our seasonal decor by adding chalk drawings and countdown calendars, but this week we've stepped it up a notch by adding magnets as well!   Last week I talked a bit about my favorite DIY ...

A Sophisticated Superhero Bathroom Makeover

No one has ever accused me of being afraid of color! In the nine years that we've lived in our current home, I've painted nearly every color you can think of on our walls. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, teal, gray... our house has seen it all. But there is one bold statement that I've always wanted to make that intimated even me. BLACK! Sure we have a skinny black chalkboard wall in our kitchen, but I'm talking a whole black room... all four walls. BOLD! Well, guess what? I finally went for ... View the Post

How to Hang Patio String Lights

Raise your hand if you love the look of string lights... Yeah, me too!! Every time we would eat on a restaurant patio with the glow of string lights overhead or stroll through Denver's Larimer Square, I would dream about hanging patio string lights over our backyard!   But if we were going to do it, I wanted to do it right - with commercial grade light strands and guide wires. The installation process seemed very intimidating to us, and we weren't sure where to begin, so we finally enlisted the ... View the Post

Reusable Monogram Gift Tags Made with Cricut

I am so grateful to my friends at Cricut for sponsoring this holiday DIY project.  A couple of years ago, I used my Cricut to make numbered gift tags for the 24 books that we wrap every holiday season for the boys to open each night leading up to Christmas. I loved how they turned out and, ever since, I've been wanting to make some reusable gift tags for all of our family Christmas presents.  I once again used my Cricut and created some simple DIY monogram gift tags. I made a set of ... View the Post

Hello from Atlanta! I'm currently at the Haven Conference hanging out with some amazing bloggers and learning a ton, but I wanted to quickly share the tutorial for one of the super easy projects from our rock & roll themed under stair playroom - the art display boards. This post is sponsored by IKEA Centennial and Command Brand. I was provided product in exchange for this content, but as always, all opinions are my own!

The Easiest Way to Deep Clean a BBQ Grill

Raise your hand if you're ready for summer grilling season. Me too!  I'm so eager to get our patio ready for family dinners and entertaining friends. We've uncovered the patio furniture, we'll plant flowers and grasses in our pots and planter bench soon, and the BBQ grill needed a really thorough cleaning. This last one is a task I usually dread, but this year I found an easier method! We always use a wire brush to give the top of the grates a quick cleaning after each meal, while the BBQ ...

Ombre Cupcakes – Perfect for Valentine’s Day

While my favorite colors are shades of blues and greens, my younger sister is a fan of anything red, pink or purple! To help her celebrate her birthday last week, I made her cupcakes with pink icing - three shades of pink icing to be exact. The ombre cupcakes turned out so pretty that I had to share them with you because they would also be perfect for Valentine's Day! I started by making two dozen strawberry flavored cupcakes, and I baked them in purple and pink polka dot cupcake papers. I've ... View the Post

Easy Bookshelf Style Upgrade

About a year ago, I added a bookshelf to our second floor hallway, but I've never really loved it. It was budget friendly, and it's perfectly functional, but it's not super stylish. I have big plans to transform this bookshelf though with some simple changes, and I'll be sharing each step. Today - in part one of the makeover - I've added a vinyl detail down the side of the bookshelf, and I'm excited to show you how easy it is to do! Thank you to Cricut for sponsoring this post, and thank ... View the Post

{diy with style} Curb Appeal Dreaming…

Our urban neighborhood has lots of perks, like being within walking distance of great restaurants, shops, and even the most charming little library. But one thing you don't get in the city is a big yard. I'm not complaining. I wouldn't trade our location for anything. But we really need to make the most of our limited outdoor space! Right now, our front landscaping leaves a bit to be desired. I'm determined to change that this year, and I'm partnering with Roundup® For Lawns to make that a ... View the Post
