This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cricut. All opinions are 100% mine. Cricut has long been established as the ultimate crafting tool! And while I get my craft on from time to time, I've always used my Cricut cutting machine primarily for organizing. While I love my Cricut Explore Air (and am coveting a Cricut Maker for it's ability to cut even more materials), the truth is that both machines are much more powerful than what I need for the majority of my projects. I love ... View the Post

How to Create a Custom Door Label with Cricut
A year after completing the makeover of our master bathroom, the barn door on our closet remains one of my favorite details of the space! Based on your comments, it seems to be one of your favorite features as well. Over time, a lot of you have asked me how we added the "Dressing Room" label to the barn door, so today I wanted to share the easy DIY tutorial. I created this custom door label using my Cricut electronic cutter, which is one of the most versatile and fun tools I own for decor, ... View the Post
DIY Photo Transfer Tray
With Valentine's Day right around the corner, I wanted to show you how easy it is to transfer one of your favorite photos to an acrylic serving tray! It makes a meaningful gift for your significant other, or even your best friend, and the possibilities are endless! For my tray, I chose a photo from our honeymoon in Santorini, Greece, and overlaid the quote, "It's not where you travel...It's who you travel with!" Thank you to Adobe for providing the supplies for this project! This post ... View the Post
{decorating with style} Gallery Wall Tips for Type A Personalities
My name is Angela, and I have Type A personality. {Now you say:} Hi, Angela! Phew, it feels good to get that off my chest! As you probably already know, I'm a pretty structured person, and I like to create detailed plans before I make any decorating or organizing decisions. When I designed Beckett's "big boy room," I created a to-scale rendering of the the argyle wall to decide on the exact color placements before I began painting. And when I organized our pantry, I drew up a ... View the Post
{entertaining with style} Tutorial for Creating the Party Hat Banner in Photoshop
Last week I posted about my son Beckett’s fun “One Year in a Flash” themed birthday party. Both at the party, and since sharing it on the blog, people have been asking questions about how I made the baby face/party hat banner, so I thought I would share the process... I started with the monthly photos of Beckett that I had saved on my computer. I opened each monthly photo in Photoshop, and used the Quick Selection tool to select just Beckett’s cute little face. Because of the ... View the Post
The Best Baby Shower Game: Baby Face Mix and Match
I've helped to host quite a few baby showers over the past several years, and it seems almost universal that the guest of honor/mom-to-be says these two things: (1) "I don't really love baby shower games. No, really, please don't make me look at candy melted in diapers!"; and (2) "It makes me a little uncomfortable to be the center of attention during present opening." I hear you, my friends! As a result of these common sentiments, I have two favorite go-to baby shower activities that always ... View the Post
Organizing Kids Toys with Labels that Are Easy to Update
Raise your hand if you love to label ALL. THE. THINGS? Me too! Labeling is one of the most important steps in the process of creating an organized space, because it makes it easy for everyone in the family to find what they need, and makes it much easier to put everything away where it belongs. But not all labels are created equal. A label is only good if it's accurate, so it's important to make labels easy to update for those spots in the house where the contents are likely to change ...

Pretty Pantry Labels Three Ways + FREE PRINTABLE LABELS
Last week I shared my five steps for creating an organized and pretty pantry, and I gave you a tour of our pantry space. Over a year after first completing our pantry makeover, the space is functioning just as well today as it did on day one - and I believe we have the labels to thank for that! Without labels, our pantry would just be a sea of matching white bins. I would have a pretty good idea of what goes where, since I organized it to start with, but imagine my poor kids and husband! They ... View the Post
{organizing with style} Project Paint Storage and a Free Printable
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
Modern Gallery Wall Idea: Photos with Rounded Corners
When you have a large space to fill, scale is key! We have a lot of high, skinny windows throughout our house, and figuring out how to fill the space below them has been one of my biggest design challenges. In the kitchen dining area, I left the wall blank for ten years because all the art I tried just looked dwarfed by the scale of the wall. Finally, I came across an inspiration photo of an office where an entire wall was filled with three rows of oversized, black and white photos and it ... View the Post
{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
How to Paint an Argyle Wall with Almost No Math
Last week I revealed my completed argyle wall, and you guys sure showed it a lot of love! Thank you so much for all of the sweet compliments! As promised, I am going to give you a full, step-by-step tutorial for how I painted the wall. I will warn you that this is going to be a long post, because, not surprisingly, painting argyle is a many step process. But here's the thing, if you have some patience and desire, it is a TOTALLY DOABLE project! Before embarking on my argyle wall adventure I ... View the Post
