Is your makeup a mess? It doesn't have to be! Today I'm sharing a few simple tips for keeping makeup organized in a drawer. STEP 1 - SORT & PURGE The first step to organizing any drawer is to empty it out completely. Once everything is out on the counter, begin sorting your makeup. The categories I selected were eyes, lips and face. Once I had my makeup sorted, I began to purge anything that was too old or that I just don't use anymore. I am never sure how long to keep ...

Organizing Cords & Cables
I've been working on several big organizing projects recently, one of which is organizing all a hall closet that houses, among other things, all of our small electronics - everything from cameras and video cameras, to iPods, iPads and portable speaker. And every one of these items comes with at least one, if not two or more, cords and cables. The closet organizing project is still a work in progress, but I did just complete one key component - taming all of those cords and cables! I'm sure ... View the Post
{organizing with style} Washi Tape Shelves
Last week I showed your our organized "baby elevator closet" (if you want to know why we call it that, you'll have to check out that post), and you may have noticed the colorful stripes on the front of each of the shelves. Washi tape! It's hard to believe that just a few months ago I had never used washi tape for anything, and now it makes its way in to nearly every project I do. I love my label maker, and it's always been my go to when I've needed to label ... View the Post
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! But after living in a condo for years with no pantry at all, even a smallish reach-in pantry seemed like such a luxury when we moved in to our current home. It took me years to figure out how to organize the pantry to make the most of our space, but after some failed attempts, I've finally figured out how to create a ... View the Post
{one room challenge} Week 3: Why Not Add the Bathroom Too?
It's week 3 of the One Room Challenge and I'm converting the nursery into a shared bedroom for my boys... or at least that's what is supposed to be happening around here. But this week has been a whole lot of hurry up and wait since nothing we've ordered has arrived just yet. The bunk beds are scheduled to be delivered on Friday... so I know what we'll be doing all weekend. Fingers crossed the assembly is easier than I expect. On second thought, I'll be crossing my fingers, toes, and ... View the Post

Tips for Mixing Modern Decor & Life with Kids
One of the design challenges many people face is finding a good balance between their style and that of their spouse. But somehow I managed to get lucky because Scott and I have very similar taste and typically see eye to eye when it comes to decorating our house. When my friend Stephanie, of Casa Watkins, recently invited me to participate in a blog hope all about mixing and matching different decorating styles, I initially declined because I feel like our style is pretty cohesive - modern, ...

My Home Style: Before & After Edition
Last fall, I teamed up with a group of 20 bloggers to share our unique decorating styles. We were each challenged by our host, Stephanie of Casa Watkins Living, to come up with just three words to define our style. I debated a long time about what my three words should be - modern? urban? colorful? bold? Finally I settled on MODERN. GRAPHIC. FAMILY. This week, we are revisiting our design definitions, but this time each participating blogger is sharing before and after photos that ... View the Post
How to Paint Faster with a PaintStick EZ-Twist Roller
I used to hate painting bathrooms! There are so many nooks and crannies, and places that are really awkward to reach. If you've ever tried wedging a step ladder {unsteadily} into your bath tub, and then nearly tripped over the edge of the tub as you climb down to reload your paint roller, then you know just what I mean. Nonetheless, I was so eager to banish the beige in our master bathroom that I was willing to once again endure bathroom painting. But when my friends at HomeRight learned what I ... View the Post
