Welcome back to Week 2 of the One Room Challenge. Last week, I shared the before photos of my master bathroom and my graphic glam mood board for the space. This week it's all about all about the tile - and I'm really curious to hear your opinions! I don't know if I was living under a rock, or what, but two months ago I didn't know about cement tile. What I did know is that everywhere I turned I kept seeing photos of gorgeous, graphic tile patterns. I got it in my head that this was ... View the Post

{planning} 2015 List Making: Decorating and Organizing Plans for the New Year
Are you a list maker? I am! I use the Reminders app on my iPhone to make lists for everything in my life, from shopping lists and general to dos, to lists of future projects and plans for each room of our home. We spent last week enjoying lots of family time in the mountains, and on the way home we got stuck in traffic. Rather than being frustrated by the delay, Scott and I used the time {while the kids gloriously slept in the backseat} to review our project lists for each room of our house - ... View the Post
Better Homes & Gardens Stylemaker Event
Each year, Better Homes & Gardens selects influences who are "making style" in their industry. This year, I was so incredibly honored to have been named a BH&G Stylemaker, and to be among the eighty home, fashion and lifestyle bloggers to attend the invitation-only Stylemaker event in New York City. A lot of you have been asking me about the trip, so I thought I'd share a recap of the event, as well as the details of where we stayed, what we ate, and where we shopped in ... View the Post
{diy with style} My Top 3 Energy Saving Tips + A HUGE CONTEST
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Lennox® for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. Our utility company recently started sending a monthly report that not only graphs our own energy usage against prior periods, it also illustrates how our usage compares to the average use in our neighborhood. I learned that our natural gas usage is below average compared to others in our area, but our electricity usage is slightly above average. Of course, this got me thinking about easy ways ...

{reader style} Your 10 Best Energy Saving Tips + A HUGE CONTEST
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Lennox® for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. Last week, I shared the top three energy saving tips that we use around our house on a daily basis, but I have been eager to find other simple ways to be more energy efficient. That's why I decided to do a little crowd sourcing, and I asked you to share YOUR best energy saving tips with me. I've compiled a top ten list in today's post so that we can all learn from each ...

{decorating with style} Zebra Cornice Boards – Part 2
Just before Cooper was born, I finally started working on one of the nursery projects that never got completed before Beckett arrived a year and a half earlier. I was determined to finally get the window coverings for the nursery finished before Cooper's arrival. Well, perhaps I was a bit too ambitious about how much I could get done while 9 months pregnant because after I painted the cornice boards with zebra stripes to tie in with the zebra rug in the nursery, I ran out of both time ...

{one room challenge} Week 1 – Planning a Play Room Under the Stairs
Today marks the start of another One Room Challenge. Just one year ago, I heard about this event for the first time and about two hours later I threw my hat into the ring, committing to get Beckett's "big boy" bedroom completed in a mere six {really it's five} weeks time. It was CRAZY, but it got done and that made it all worth while! So worth while that I subjected myself to the craziness again in the fall when I redid our master bedroom for my second One Room Challenge. And just like that {a ... View the Post
{one room challenge} Garage Makeover Week 3: The Halfway Point + A GIVEAWAY
Week 3 marks the middle of the One Room Challenge. YIKES! We've been making good progress, but I have a lot left that I need to do {and even more that I want to do} in the final three weeks. This is the point in the project where the to do list starts to feel a bit overwhelming, but these weekly ORC update posts are great at helping me to appreciate all that has been accomplished. To appreciate how far we've come, check out all the before photos and plans in the Week 1 and Week 2 One ... View the Post
Decorating On the Go with a Paint and Fabric Swatch Kit
There's no telling what I might find in my purse on any given day. With two young kiddos, you'll likely always find a couple of diapers, some fruit snacks, pouches of apple sauce, a pacifier, and maybe a stray sock or two. The musts include my wallet and phone, my makeup bag, and my mini-expanding filer full of coupons and gift cards. Until recently, you were also likely to find bent or torn paint samples and tiny, fraying fabric swatches buried in the depths of my purse. But no longer! ... View the Post
Quick Tips to Prep for Winter

Days of the Week Clothing Organization With Free Printable + More IKEA Organizing
Over the weekend, I had the privilege of presenting an organizing seminar at IKEA Centennial where I shared lots of stylish storage ideas as part of their big IKEA FAMILY event. Today, all of the ideas from Saturday's seminar are right here on the blog, including the new days of the week clothing organization system I created to make mornings with a preschooler run more smoothly. I have just a couple of go to stores when it comes to starting any new organizing project, and IKEA is ... View the Post
6 Quick Ways to Add Color to a Front Porch
Two years ago, when I was nine months pregnant with Cooper, I decided that the one thing I absolutely had to do before he was born was to freshen up our front porch. Imagine me on the porch with my giant belly painting the doorbell... of wait, you don't have to imagine it because I have the photos. The changes we made a couple years really did have a big impact on the front porch, but something was still missing. Our front porch is very tall, so we really needed something to add just a bit of ... View the Post
