Happy Blogiversary to Me! Happy Blogiversary to Me! Happy Blogiversary, Blue i Style... That's right, it was one year ago today that I started this little blog, and what a year it's been! When I started, I had one little boy, and now I have two! When I started, I was working full time as an attorney, and now I'm lucky enough to be staying home with my two kiddos! When I started, I didn't know if anyone would read my blog {except maybe my husband and my mom}, and now I know that I have ... View the Post

Graphic Glam Master Bathroom Makeover
I recently read a quote from interior designer Ken Fulk that said, "Design should inspire and make you smile, and should never be a bore." Just six short weeks ago our master bathroom was definitely a bore, but now it's so graphic, and glam, and just plain pretty, that I can't stop smiling from ear to ear. During the course of the One Room Challenge, our bathroom has gone from the most ignored room in the house, to my very favorite room! I'm so excited to finally be able to share it with ...

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 ...

{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
Armoire Baby Central: A Changing Station and Organized Baby Clothes
We are getting settled in at home as a family of four, and Cooper is such a wonderful new addition! It's always amazing to me how much stuff comes along with such a tiny little person. Fortunately this time around there wasn't much new that we needed to purchase, but there was still the question of where to put it all. When we were preparing for the arrival of baby number one a year and half ago, we spent most of our time decorating the nursery and getting it organized with all ... View the Post

You all know that I love a good label and I'm always looking for new ways to make labels pretty, and this might just be my favorite label ... View the Post
{organizing with style} Baby Elevator Closet
I'm sure you're wondering, "What in the heck is a baby elevator closet?" Let me explain... Our house is built on three levels plus the basement, and when the builder designed it they anticipated that someone might want to add an elevator someday. Stacked directly on top of one another, all four levels of our house have a nice size closet. If someone ever wanted to add an elevator to the house ( I can't even begin to imagine what that would cost), these four closets would become an ... 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

I have just a couple of go to stores when it comes to starting any new organizing project, and IKEA is ... View the Post

One Room Challenge As a quick reminder, between now and November 18th, we’ll be transforming our basement bathroom from bold but boring into a lighter and brighter space with a lot more style, and I'm doing alongside more than 200 other talented designers as guest participants in the One Room ...

How to Make a Tissue Paper Tassel Garland
Tissue paper tassels are all the rage right now! And it's no wonder why - since they are so dang cute and all! I recently made about 60 tissue paper tassels to decorate for the Stock the Kitchen wedding shower that I hosted for my sister-in-law, and while it took a bit longer than I anticipated {about 2.5 hours with my mom and I working together}, the process of making each tassel is quite easy and I learned some tricks along the way to make it even easier. SUPPLIES Tissue paper in your ... View the Post
When and Why to Prime Before Painting
This post is sponsored by Rust-Oleum, whose products make almost all of my DIY projects look better! Do you ever ask yourself, do I need to prime before paining this or is primer really necessary? I know I do! Back in law school I spent many hours painting a laminate bookshelf for my apartment, only to have the paint peel right off because I didn't prime it first. I'm a much savvier DIYer now than I was back then, but I still find myself questioning when I need to use ... View the Post
