I have received a few questions from readers lately asking for DIY kitchen update ideas that provide a high end look without a renovation budget. Painting kitchen cabinets is always a good option (and I've got a tutorial to help you get a professional, even finish), but another of my favorite tips is to update kitchen counters on a budget with paint to create the look of high end stone. A while back I wrote a post about how to use a Rust-Oleum Countertop Transformations Kit to DIY granite look ... View the Post

I Love You Because… Dry Erase Love Note Printable
I love my husband for a million big reasons and a million small reasons. I constantly tell him that I love him, but I don't always tell him the specific things that I love about him. So, for Valentine's Day, I wanted to find a way to tell him all of the things that make him so special to me, and what better way than to leave him a love note every day?! This ever-changing love note is a Pinterest inspired project. I designed and framed the "I Love You Because..." print, and placed it ... View the Post
{organizing with style} Roundup of Spray Paint Storage Solutions
Let's talk spray paint storage, shall we? Last fall I finally got all of our latex paint organized and created storage space for this paint, and our paint supplies, in our small basement utility room. I transferred our paint our of the rusting paint cans into screw-top plastic canisters, labeled the paint, and created a paint reference chart as well as a craft stick paint-deck. This organizational system has been working great for the past year, but because of the proximity of our ... View the Post
Simple Pantry Organization Hacks
A disorganized home can create unnecessary stress. This is especially true when it comes to your pantry because it's a space you use multiple times a day, every day! Trying to organize a pantry can feel overwhelming and frustrating because its contents change so frequently. It's easy enough to line things up neatly on the shelves, but the real challenge is creating an organized pantry system that your whole family can keep up with so you won't find yourself rearranging things again and ...

{seasonal style} Mason Jar Jack OLanterns
Ok, folks, I'm finally jumping on board the mason jar band wagon! Over the last year or two, I've seen a lot of mason jar Jack O Lanterns on Pinterest, but they've all had black faces and the light has shown through translucent paint or paper covering the remainder of the jar. I love all of these, but wanted to do something a bit different - so I opted for an opaque paint on the jar with the light shining through the unpainted eyes, nose, and mouth. I decided to take a ...

{diy with style} How to Paint a Simple Skyline
Some people love wide open spaces and dream of a home with no neighbors in sight. Me on the other hand, I dream of living in a New York City high rise surrounded by skyscraper views. When we moved from our condo in downtown Denver to our current home {which is only half way to the suburbs}, it took me a long time to adjust to the quiet - I missed the sounds of the city. And while most people want to head for the beach or the mountains on vacation, I love traveling to big cities! Luck ... View the Post
Pretty Pantry Labels Three Ways + FREE PRINTABLE LABELS
Last week I shared my five steps for creating an organized and pretty pantry, and I gave you a tour of our pantry space. Over a year after first completing our pantry makeover, the space is functioning just as well today as it did on day one - and I believe we have the labels to thank for that! Without labels, our pantry would just be a sea of matching white bins. I would have a pretty good idea of what goes where, since I organized it to start with, but imagine my poor kids and husband! They ... View the Post

Organizing Kids Toys with Labels that Are Easy to Update
Raise your hand if you love to label ALL. THE. THINGS? Me too! Labeling is one of the most important steps in the process of creating an organized space, because it makes it easy for everyone in the family to find what they need, and makes it much easier to put everything away where it belongs. But not all labels are created equal. A label is only good if it's accurate, so it's important to make labels easy to update for those spots in the house where the contents are likely to change ...

{decorating with style} Tutorial for Painting Perfect Ombre Wall Stripes
As I told you in my first nursery blog post, I decided to go bold and paint our nursery with ombre inspired stripes that graduate in color - from dark at the floor, to light at the ceiling - so that in the end, the effect would be similar to that of a paint sample strip. Click here to read about our color selection process. These were the five Benjamin Moore colors we ended up selecting (which may appear different depending on your screen settings).

Turning a Printer Stand into a Rolling Bar Cart
Thank you to Rust-Oleum for sponsoring this post. As always all opinions are my own. You can read my full disclosure statement here.

This is the final makeover in my Drab to Fab makeover series for the Denver Home Show {you can find the other three here: 1920's ... View the Post
DIY Dollhouse Makeover
There are those presents that the kids lose interest in right away (womp womp), and others that are still favorites years later (parenting WIN!). A few years ago, I did a last minute DIY dollhouse makeover for my boys, transforming an off-the-shelf dollhouse into a mini-me version of our own home, and years later, the boys (now 4.5 and almost 6) still play with it all the time and show it to everyone who comes over! When we were little, my mom created several dollhouses for my sister and me. ... View the Post
