This weekend we hosted a mustache bash to celebrate Cooper's first birthday! I'll share all of the photos from the celebration soon, but today I wanted to show you this super simple way to add some flair to any party...duct tape your beverages!

Hi there! If you are stopping by for the first time from the One Room Challenge - welcome! I'm Angela, an attorney turned stay-at-home mom to two boys - a three and a half year old and a two year old.

Modern Home Office Design Plans 3 Ways

Back to School Backpack Name Tags
THE most exciting thing about blogging is when someone reaches out to you and says that they were able to use an idea that you shared to create their own project!

Ali has elementary age twin boys, and she recently made some adorable name tags for her boys backpacks using the cover of my fabric and paint swatch kit as inspiration. For my ... View the Post
{blog conference} An Introvert’s Guide to Haven
It's already been over a week since I returned from Haven Conference, and it seems that everyone else in Blogland has posted their recaps, so I was struggling with what I could add that hadn't already been said about this awesome conference. But then as I was sitting around and chatting with the lovely ladies in my book club about our most recent read, "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking" by Susan Cain, and as they were asking me about my first ever blogging ...

{decorating with style} From Awkward Inset to Floating Photo Shelves
When we purchased our home, one of my first decorating challenges was figuring out what to do with the 5 inch deep inset in the corner of our living room. I originally tried tucking a console table in the nook, but it just looked awkward. So I sat and stared at the space for a while until it hit me - floating photo shelves! Five inches really isn't deep enough for much - but it turns out to be the perfect depth for tabletop picture frames. A family friend installed the shelves ... View the Post
Behind the Scenes of My Better Homes & Gardens Photo Shoot
When I was in law school rushing home from my contracts class everyday so I wouldn't miss an episode of Trading Spaces, I could have never imagined that one day I'd see photos of me and my home spread across two pages of Better Homes & Gardens. Talk about a "pinch me" moment!! Last week, Blue i Style celebrated its fifth anniversary. When I started this blogging adventure, I was still practicing law full time, Beckett was only 14 month old, and I was 6 months pregnant with Cooper. ... View the Post
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
An Easy Way to Hide Laundry Room Faucets & Hoses
Your laundry room is a hard working space, but it doesn't have to be all business and no pleasure. I find the chore of doing laundry much more bearable in a pretty space, which is why I worked hard to strike a balance between beauty and function when designing the plans for my recent laundry closet makeover. When I drew up the initial design for the space, I envisioned hanging four framed paintings above the washer and dryer, but below the cabinets. However, I quickly realized a kink in ... View the Post
{five minute friday} Two Quick, Colorful Updates for a Festive Christmas Porch
I was hoping to share some pretty pictures of our Christmas porch dusted in snow and looking oh, so very Colorado Christmas... but alas we've only had snow once this season, and I didn't manage to grab any photos in the 24 hours that it stuck around. And since there are no signs of a white Christmas in our forecast, I final just took some photos of our porch in the sunshine. While the porch doesn't look as Christmas-y as it would in the snow, I do want to share the details about two quick and ... View the Post
