I finally found time to go through all of the photos from Beckett’s 1st birthday party, so I thought I would share the details about this fun event. While I know that he will never remember this party, it was still important to me that it be fabulous (but without breaking the bank). Also, because the party was only a couple of weeks after Christmas, I wanted to keep the prep time manageable. I started scouring Pinterest for birthday party inspiration soon after ... View the Post

Spring Front Porch Decor + Umbrella Wreath
I am so excited to officially welcome spring! Warmer weather, longer days, and...pink! The first signs of leaves and blossoms are just starting to appear in our yard... but spring has officially sprung on my front porch, thanks to my friends at Hobby Lobby who are sponsoring my "April Showers Bring May Flowers" inspired front door decor. I went shopping for craft supplies to create some sort of wreath or front door display, but I came out away with a whole lot more. I'm not going ... View the Post

A Sophisticated Superhero Bathroom Makeover
No one has ever accused me of being afraid of color! In the nine years that we've lived in our current home, I've painted nearly every color you can think of on our walls. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, teal, gray... our house has seen it all. But there is one bold statement that I've always wanted to make that intimated even me. BLACK! Sure we have a skinny black chalkboard wall in our kitchen, but I'm talking a whole black room... all four walls. BOLD! Well, guess what? I finally went for ... View the Post

{diy with style} Campaign Style Desk Makeover with a Dry Erase Top
Thank you to Rust-Oleum for sponsoring this post. As always all opinions are my own. You can read my full disclosure statement here. A few months ago a neighbor posted on our neighborhood website that he was putting an oak desk in the alley - free to the first taker. I knew it would be a perfect piece to make over for my upcoming Drab to Fab feature at the Denver Home Show, so I asked my husband to run by on his lunch hour and load it in the car. I need to track that neighbor ... View the Post

Modern Dining Room Makeover
I couldn't be more excited to share our dining room makeover with you! This has been my eighth One Room Challenge, and as always it was a race to the finish line... but we made it and the space turned out better than I had imagined. It also remains one of the hardest spaces in our house to photograph, so I hope my pictures do it justice. Our kitchen dining area was the first to be decorated when we moved into our house ten years ago this month. That's because it was one of the few rooms ... View the Post
Tiled Kitchen Island Ideas
It's week 4 of the One Room Challenge, and it's island time over here. That's not to say that we are taking a leisurely stroll through this kitchen makeover... there is no such thing as leisurely when you're redesigning a space in under six week. Instead, we're planning to take our kitchen island from boring to bold, but it's going to be a race to the finish line to get this project done!

Planning Our Dining Room Facelift
If you've been reading the blog for a while now, then you've most likely heard a lot about the One Room Challenge - a twice annual blogging when a large group of design bloggers come together to each completely makeover one room in a short five weeks. I've participated in the ORC seven and half times. How do you participate half a time? I'm glad you asked! Back in the spring, I decided to makeover our kitchen dining area.
