The Most Popular Organizing and Decorating Ideas
You've probably heard the saying that you have to look back to move forward. I think this is true on many levels, and it's how I always like to start the year. When it comes to the blog, I find it really helpful to look back at the most popular posts from the prior year to see which projects resonate with you - the readers - so that I can create more of the types of content you want. And on the personal side, as I plan my project priorities for the coming year, I like to reflect on the spaces ... View the Post

Add Extra Storage without Damaging Your Doors
Thank you guys for all of the kind comments you've send me in the last couple of weeks about our newly organized coat closet! I've also received a question, from a few people about how we hung the shoe bags on the back of wood doors {the ones we are using for hats, scarf and glove storage} - so I thought I'd answer that question today for Five Minute Friday. This post contains some affiliate links. If you buy something that I recommend, you pay the same price, but I may receive a small ... View the Post

{five minute friday} Simple Art Knock-Off that Saves $180!
If you've been following my progress on my master bedroom redesign for the One Room Challenge, then you already got a peek at this project yesterday, but today I'm giving you the details. One of my big projects for our bedroom is a gallery wall to help hide our television.

While ... View the Post
{one room challenge} Week 4: Knock Off Art & TV Gallery Wall Inspiration
Finally! Finally a week where I feel like I can see real progress and I'm excited to write my One Room Challenge update! Nonetheless, the chaos in our master bedroom {which I referred to last week as the "Storm Before the Calm"} remains. In fact, the chaos increased when we had to move all of the furniture to the center of the room in order to paint, but hubby and I have temporarily relocated to the guest room and having a restful place to sleep has improved my perspective. This week, my ... View the Post

15 Ways to Maximize Storage With Over the Door Organizers
I've heard a lot of people advise that you don't need more storage, you just need less stuff... and while we could all benefit from a good purging session, let's be honest, sometimes you really do need more storage! Not everyone has the luxury of a spacious pantry, coat closet, or laundry room, but that doesn't mean we don't need food, hats and scarves, and clean clothes. My biggest piece of advice for organizing when you're short on space is to take advantage of every available nook and ... View the Post
Dresser Drawer Organization
If I asked for a raise of hands from all of you with messy dresser drawers, I can just imagine hands shooting up from all corners of the internet! And mine would be raised right there with you... or at least it would have been until last week. Isn't funny how sometimes those messy spots that drive us crazy are so simple to fix?
