{one room challenge} Rinse & Repeat: Planning a Laundry Room Do-Over
Hi there! If you are stopping by for the first time from the One Room Challenge - welcome! I'm Angela, an attorney turned stay-at-home mom to two boys - a three and a half year old and a two year old. In my spare moments {which can be hard to come by}, my passions are all things artistic, and my house is my palette. It's a constant work in progress -- decorating, organizing, DIYing, and generally making things pretty. I love modern design, big graphic patterns, and lots of color! For a decor ... View the Post

Modern & Merry Christmas Home Tour
We started decorating for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving, and somewhere along the way we decided to rearrange the living room. The decorating is almost done, but the house is definitely in hot mess mode with fall decor piled on the stairs to be put away and boxes and bins waiting to be returned to the garage. I'll be taking more photos of our holiday decorations once I get everything cleaned up, but I get so excited about Christmas decor that I couldn't help but share some sneak peeks ... View the Post

Be Prepared with a Winter Car Kit
I feel like the theme of this year has been finding simple solutions to problems we've been struggling with for far too long. You know - those solutions that make you say, if only I'd had this or done this years ago, I would have saved myself so much time or frustration. Today I'm talking about some of our former winter weather struggles, and how I've tackled them by creating an organized Winter Car Kit, complete with a major time-saver from sponsor FrostGuard®. Last fall, we finally got our ... View the Post
Modern Rooftop Deck Makeover
Denver weather is unpredictable in the spring, so I knew it was risky to take on an outdoor project for the One Room Challenge. We've had snow no less than 3 times during the five weeks of this challenge, and rain and thunderstorms everyday this week leading up to reveal day. On Monday, I had resigned myself to the fact that I likely wouldn't be able to take photos of our new rooftop deck in time to meet the end ORC deadline. Fortunately, a brief break in the rain gave me the hour I needed ... View the Post
{blog conference} An Introvert’s Guide to Haven
It's already been over a week since I returned from Haven Conference, and it seems that everyone else in Blogland has posted their recaps, so I was struggling with what I could add that hadn't already been said about this awesome conference. But then as I was sitting around and chatting with the lovely ladies in my book club about our most recent read, "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking" by Susan Cain, and as they were asking me about my first ever blogging ...
