If you have a washer and dryer in a closet, rather than a more spacious laundry room, then you know that it can be hard to organize this space to fit everything you need. A while back, I gave my laundry closet a major makeover, and while some of the big DIY projects are the first to catch you eye - like the green cabinets above the washer and dryer - this space is actually full of quick and easy organizing hacks that you can complete in about five minutes each. This post contains some ... View the Post

{gifts with style} Aisle Runner Turned Pillow
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. Earlier in the week I shared a large, framed canvas photo of our wedding ceremony that I kicked it up a notch with a border overlaid with our vows, and yesterday I showed you our double-sided framed wedding invitation. Today I'm wrapping up the week with the just-completed project of turning our ... View the Post

{DIY with style} How to Add Nailhead Trim to Furniture
When I began working on the redesign of our master bedroom, one of my main goals was to create a cozy reading space in bright corner by our two sliding glass doors. I found a fabulous new chair - the Meloni Arm Chair {affiliate link} that is not only gorgeous, but also met all of my criteria for comfy reading. An ottoman was also on my must-have list, but my budget was tight, so I ended up purchasing a super inexpensive, faux leather ottoman, and then I added just $10 worth of ... View the Post
How to Organize a Nursery Closet
Babies may be little, but their stuff sure can take up a lot of space! That's why I knew that the small closet in our nursery was going to need some upgrading in order to be functional both now, and in the future. The closet is narrower than a typical reach in closet, and it originally had sliding doors which only allowed half of the closet to be accessed at one time. Each sliding closet door was only 17.5 inches wide, making it very difficult to access the ... View the Post
{Denver style} The Redevelopment of Denver’s Union Station
One of the cool perks of my job as an attorney is that I often get an insider's view of some of the exciting development and redevelopment projects happening around Denver and throughout the state of Colorado. If you live in Denver, or have visited in the last couple of years, you've probably seen the major construction going on around Union Station. There's a ton of great information about the project out there, but it seems like most of the people I talk to around town don't know ... View the Post
Keeping Track of Coupons & Gift Cards
I pride myself on generally being pretty organized and having a designated place for things, but there can be a big difference between "organized" and "functional." This was the case with the way I had been “organizing” all of my coupons and gift cards. I had an expandable file organizer in one of the kitchen cabinets where I had been storing restaurant menus and loose recipes, as well as coupons and gift cards. For a while now I’ve been needing to revamp this filing system, so I’ve ... View the Post
Front Porch Halloween Decorations
The boys are four and five now, and if I could freeze time, I would. These are such fun ages, and I love how excited they get about everything - especially each holiday! For weeks, they've been begging me to decorate for Halloween. We always have quite a bit of holiday decor inside, but this year they also requested front porch Halloween decorations as well. Last year, I decorated the porch with some fun Dia de Los Muertos finds, but the boys really wanted a traditional Halloween porch ... View the Post

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! I received just such a Facebook message a few days ago from my cousin, Ali, and I loved what she did so much that I'm excited to share it with you today! 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
{decorating with style} Get Cozy with Non-Traditional Fall Colors: Part1
I used to think I couldn't change up my decor for the fall, because my teal and gray living room isn't exactly a natural fit for traditional autumn colors. But over the years, I've realized that you don't have to have a neutral home in order to bring in different colors to change the mood of the room for the changing seasons - you just have to think beyond the traditional color palettes. With that in mind, last year I came up with 10 non-traditional fall color palettes - one for just ... View the Post
