That moment when the phone rings with friends asking if they can stop by, and you look around the house wondering how much you can clean up in the next 30 minutes before they arrive. Please tell me I'm not the only one this has happened to?! I always do better when I have a plan, so I thought I'd embrace the idea of spring cleaning this year by coming up with a simple game plan that I can use throughout the year to whip the house into shape quickly. With young kids and a new puppy in the ... 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} 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
{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
How to Organize a Nursery Closet
Babies may be little, but their stuff sure can take up a lot of space! That's why I knew that the small closet in our nursery was going to need some upgrading in order to be functional both now, and in the future. The closet is narrower than a typical reach in closet, and it originally had sliding doors which only allowed half of the closet to be accessed at one time. Each sliding closet door was only 17.5 inches wide, making it very difficult to access the ... View the Post
{one room challenge} Week 2: Room to Grow
It's been a busy week around here. I spent last weekend in Charleston at a conference, and I found the beauty of the city so inspiring. Now I'm excited to be back home and I'm ready to get to work on creating a creative and fun shared bedroom for my boys. If you caught last week's post, then you know that my boys have been begging for bunk beds for quite a while, so I decided to jump in to the One Room Challenge once again. Today, I'm excited to show you what I have ... View the Post
This Quick Tip Will Keep Your Pantry Organized
As I was putting away groceries the other day, it occurred to me how differently I approach that mundane task now than I used to. For years, putting away the groceries meant simply finding a place for everything on the pantry shelves - a box here, a box there, making room or just shoving a box in even if there wasn't room. Finally, I buckled down and spent several days completely emptying the pantry and fully reorganizing it from scratch. And that time investment paid off! When I stood ... View the Post
Laundry Closet Makeover
One Room Challenge reveal day always makes me want to jump for joy, and this time around, it also makes me want to do laundry... and I never thought I'd say those words! I am seriously giddy to show you guys the total transformation of our laundry closet, and the improvements to the adjacent linen closet! I am so in love with our brand new light and bright laundry space that I could seriously stare at it all day {and, let's be real...I might}! I owe a huge thank you to all three of my ...

Why You Need Shelf Liner + Cleaning & Organizing Hacks
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Duck Brand Easy Liner. All opinions are 100% mine. If you've ever asked if it's really necessary or worth the time to use shelf or drawer liners, you're not alone. I've wondered the same over the years, and I've sometimes skipped this important step, only to go back and redo it later. Since it's a common question, I thought it would be helpful to share why you need shelf and drawer liner. And since we all love cleaning and organizing hacks, ... View the Post
{five minute friday} Extra! Extra! Greeting Cards
Before I had kids, when a friend had a birthday or a baby, I would stop and pick up a card on my way home from work, or I'd quickly run into the store for a card on my way to a birthday party or wedding. But after kids - well, there is no such thing as a quick stop at a store, nor is there any extra time on the way to an event... so now I have to plan ahead. Planning ahead means that I've started to stock up on greeting cards, picking up a few cute ones here and there when I'm at Target, or ... View the Post
Quick Family Room Storage Tip
Our basement family room is one hard working space - playroom for the kids, movie theater for the family, party space for family and friends {especially during football season}, mom and dad's quiet escape and tv binge-watching space after bedtime, and sometimes even dining room {shhhh... don't tell the kids, because they aren't allowed to eat down there}. One space that serves so many functions is bound to have storage challenges, and I've been trying to tackle them one at a ... View the Post
Charger Cord Organizer with Custom Icon Labels
Technology has become such an essential part of our every day lives that I feel like I'm totally drowning in cords, cables, and chargers lately! The kitchen is the heart of our home, and I typically wind up working at the kitchen table rather than my home office in order to be closer to the kids, so I was desperately in need of a charger cord organizer to contain and organize all of technology in this space. I finally came up with a phone charger organizer that is not only functional, but ... View the Post
