To say we have a lot of latex paint might be an understatement! When we bought our home, the builder left us a touch up kit with 2 quarts of each color of paint used throughout the house (including the original wall colors, the trim, ceilings, and closet interior paints). Additionally, we have since repainted many of the rooms in the house, resulting in a lot more leftover paint (and in the case of the ombre stripes in the nursery we used five different colors). Until a few weeks ... View the Post

Slowing Our Kitchen Roll
One of the things I love most about the One Room Challenge is that it gives me the motivation I need to start and finish a project in the short span of six weeks. I've participated in the ORC seven times before, and I've always managed to complete the makeover just in the nick of time without ever compromising on the design. In fact, participating in the ORC has always pushed me to go big and make bold design decisions, which exactly the way I like it. Over the course of the last few ... View the Post

Game Room Makeover: Week 6 {One Room Challenge}
In the past, the One Room Challenge has been a six week event... thank goodness it was extended to an 8 week event this summer, because I'm going to need every minute of the next two weeks to pull this one off! If you've been following my Instagram Stories, then you know that I'm working on making the cushions for our banquette seating, but in this weeks progress post I want to show you what we've accomplished at the other end of the room. Our Plans for the Ultimate Game Room If your ... View the Post
How to Store Leftover Paint + Free Printable Paint Labels
Saying we have a lot of leftover paint might be an understatement! When we bought our home, the builder left us a touch up kit with 2 quarts of each color of paint used throughout the house (including all the original wall colors, the trim, ceilings, and closet interior paints). Since that time we have repainted many of the rooms in the house, resulting in even more leftover paint. In the boys' bedroom alone, where we painted ombre stripes, we have five different colors of teal paint to ... View the Post

It's an exciting day! I finished up the last major project in Beckett's new room over the weekend, and then spent the last two days finalizing lots of little details.

{one room challenge} Week 1: Garage Makeover Plans
It's time once again for the One Room Challenge - that twice annual, six week design challenge hosted by Calling it Home in which hundreds of design bloggers completely transform one room in their homes in a mere six weeks time. It takes a special kind of crazy to take on the One Room Challenge... especially six times in a row! And this time around I'm even crazier than normal because I'm going head to head with my garage, and I'm determined to come out the winner. The One Room Challenge is a ... View the Post
Floor Drama – One Room Challange: Week 3
So much drama in ORC... What would the One Room Challenge be without a few challenges and a little drama? The good news is that I now have the new home office flooring of my dreams. The bad news is that, due to some unexpected challenges, it cost a lot more than we'd planned, and we won't be continuing these beautiful new floors throughout the rest of the basement as I'd hoped. Let me explain. After completely cleaning out the office (in last week's ORC post I showed you how I tackled ... View the Post
How to Properly Store, Dispose Of, and Recycle Paint and Paint Cans
As a serial DIYer, I'm always repainting the walls in our house, and painting just about everything else in sight with spray paint. That leaves us with a lot of leftover paint and, in time, a lot of empty paint cans. We have a very small utility room and a detached, unheated garage, so I had a lot of questions about how and where I could safely store my leftover paint, and how to properly dispose of paint and paint cans. I did a lot of research regarding both paint storage and disposal options, ... View the Post
{organizing with style} Managing Kitchen Paper Piles with a Simple Filing System
One of the blogs that inspired me to start my own was iHeartOrganizing. This year, iHeart’s Jen is issuing a monthly organizing challenge, and February is focused on the kitchen. While I certainly need to give my pantry a major overhaul, I just knew I wouldn’t be able to complete that project this month - and fortunately in the meantime it’s behind a closed door. So I instead decide to participate in Jen’s challenge by tackling a smaller problem, but one that’s out in the open - our ... View the Post
{organizing with style} Tips for Proper Paint Storage, Disposal, and Recycling
We recently completed Project Paint Storage at our house, which included transferring all of our latex paint into plastic, screw-top canisters with labels, creating a customized paint deck, completing paint reference charts, compiling a kit to make organizing new paint quick and easy in the future, and finally organizing and storing all of our other painting supplies in our utility room. During the course of this project, we did a lot of research regarding ... View the Post
{decorating with style} It’s Almost One Room Challenge Time Again!
Hi all! I'm sorry it's been a little quiet around here this past week! I spent most of last week preparing to speak at the Denver Home Show, which happened over the weekend, and this week I'm working like crazy behind the scenes because I have so many exciting things coming up in the next few weeks - including the return of the One Room Challenge! But I'll get back to that in a minute. This weeks lack of posts will more than be made up for next week! It's going to be jammed packed ... View the Post
