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

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 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

Stylish & Functional Linen Closet Organization
Last fall, when I decided to give the laundry closet a major makeover to make it brighter and more functional, I knew that meant the linen closet would need a makeover as well. The linen closet is adjacent to the laundry closet in our second floor hallway, and while each is accessed by its own set of doors, internally there is no division between the two spaces. But beyond just getting a new, coordinating look, this was the perfect excuse for me to finally achieve a more organized and ... View the Post
{decorating with style} Tutorial for Painting Perfect Ombre Wall Stripes
As I told you in my first nursery blog post, I decided to go bold and paint our nursery with ombre inspired stripes that graduate in color - from dark at the floor, to light at the ceiling - so that in the end, the effect would be similar to that of a paint sample strip. Click here to read about our color selection process. These were the five Benjamin Moore colors we ended up selecting (which may appear different depending on your screen settings).

How to Organize a Small Reach-In Pantry
Do you drool over those gorgeous walk-in pantry organization photos in magazines and on Pinterest? Me too! The only problem is that I don't have a walk-in pantry to make gorgeous!

I wish we could enjoy the Christmas season with our family year round! Of course, logically, I realize that what makes it special is that it's just one month each year... but it's such a magical and wonderful time, especially with young kids! It was important to me that we start establishing holiday traditions with our boys from an early age, so that they would grow up with cherished memories of those traditions. I love hearing about other family's traditions, so today - as we officially start ... View the Post
