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

How to Store Luggage and Organize Travel Gear At Home
I love to travel! Near... far... I'll go anywhere! And prepping for a trip is half the fun. I enjoy the process of researching and learning about new places as I plan our adventures. The list maker in me even loves to make a great trip prep to do list. When it came time to actually pack, though... that was the one part of the process I dreaded because my suitcases and travel accessories were a disorganized mess and finding what I needed was a headache. But no longer! I spent an ... View the Post
My First Time Using Chalk Paint – Challenges but Ultimate Success
Let me start by saying that I am no expert when it comes to painting furniture. In fact, that is an understatement! I had a bad experience back in law school when I cluelessly painted a cheap wood-laminate bookshelf using latex paint... the first coat went on ok, but when I tried to paint the second coat, each brush stroke just peeled up the paint from the first coat. It was a hot mess and I vowed that I would never paint furniture again! Fast forward ten years and I had gained a lot DIY ... 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
{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
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} Coat Closet Part 2: The Planning Process, Design Choices & Installation
This post is sponsored by Closet Factory, but, as always, all opinions are my own. You can read my full disclosure policy here. You guys, I am doing my happy dance over here because I have a brand new coat closet! I have yet to put our coats in it, but it's installed and beautiful! It's taking all the will power I have to write this post rather than filling up the drawers and shelves right now. But I talk often about the importance of the planning process in any organization ... View the Post
The Best Ways to Organize Under the Kitchen Sink
Organizing under the kitchen sink may be one of the most challenging spots in the entire house! Not only are you dealing with pipes, but in most cases also a garbage disposal. There is often little usable space, but so many purposes that this little space needs to serve. It took me nearly six years {wow, that's embarrassing}, but I have finally taken control of the space under our kitchen sink. It's not only organized, but I might even dare to call it pretty. We've been living with this new ... View the Post
{one room challenge} Garage Makeover Week 3: The Halfway Point + A GIVEAWAY
Week 3 marks the middle of the One Room Challenge. YIKES! We've been making good progress, but I have a lot left that I need to do {and even more that I want to do} in the final three weeks. This is the point in the project where the to do list starts to feel a bit overwhelming, but these weekly ORC update posts are great at helping me to appreciate all that has been accomplished. To appreciate how far we've come, check out all the before photos and plans in the Week 1 and Week 2 One ... View the Post
