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

{organizing with style} Small Sewing Space Inspiration
When I was in elementary school and junior high, I took sewing lessons and learned all the basics, but until last year, I never owned a sewing machine of my own. Over the years, my mom {who is a very talented sewer} asked me many times if I would like a machine, but I always said no because I had no where to put it and knew that I wouldn't really use it if I had to drag it out to the kitchen table and then put it away each time. I knew that in order to justify owning a sewing machine, I needed ... View the Post

As you know by now, I'm celebrating our upcoming sixth wedding anniversary by blogging about ways to incorporate wedding memories into your home decor.

{annual report} What Got Done in 2016, What Didn’t, and What’s On the List for 2017
I'm not the best at formal goal setting, but I am a big list maker. Ever since we moved into our current home {8 years ago}, Scott and I have had a running list of household projects we want to tackle. It's a long and daunting list, but looking over it helps us determine what we want to save and budget for. A couple of years ago, we decided to break down our massive, long term list, and start mapping out priorities one year at a time. And I thought, why not document it on the blog to hold ...

How to Create an Inviting Guest Room that Appeals to All 5 Senses
The countdown to the holidays is officially on, and for many people that means hosting out-of-town guests! To help you prepare, I thought I'd share some tips for creating a truly welcoming guest room by appealing to all five senses. Making family and friends feel comfortable in your home is about more than simply creating a pretty room. A room that looks nice is certainly a good start - but the real question is, how does the space make guests feel? When visitors stay in our guest room, I want ... View the Post
Rings Around the World: Our Wedding Ring Selfie Photo Tradition
You know that list of "must have" wedding photos that most couples give to the photographer in advance of the big day? Things like the bride's mom helping her zip up her dress, the groom's expression as the bride walks down the aisle, the cutting of the cake, and a close up of the wedding bands. Yeah...we forgot to make a list like that. We planned every detail of the wedding to a T, but giving the photographer a list of photos didn't even cross our minds. Our photographer did a wonderful ... View the Post
Better Homes & Gardens Stylemaker Event
Each year, Better Homes & Gardens selects influences who are "making style" in their industry.

A lot of you have been asking me about the trip, so I thought I'd share a recap of the event, as well as the details of where we stayed, what we ate, and where we shopped in ... View the Post

{entertaining with style} Mood Board for a Jungle Themed Baby Shower
Recently I received a reader request for suggestions for a jungle themed baby shower! I was really excited by this request, because not only do I love jungle animals {as evidenced by our nursery}, but also because I have always wanted to host a jungle themed shower. This gave me a great opportunity to share a lot of the ideas that I've had floating around in my head for a long time. I'm a very visual person and I enjoy the process of putting my ideas down on paper, so I created a quick jungle ... View the Post
