Having a fully finished basement adds a lot of livable square footage to our house, but it also means that there's almost no storage space. But you know I love a good challenge, so we worked our magic and managed to squeeze in some much needed utility room shelving and organized every available inch of space. HOW TO ADD SHELVING TO A SMALL UTILITY ROOM Utility rooms generally aren't the most storage friendly spaces, and the pipes running floor to ceiling in the middle of ours made it ... View the Post

Quick and Cute Recipe Box Dividers
Hello from Haven! I arrived in Atlanta yesterday afternoon and I’m already having a great time meeting so many wonderful ladies! I have a busy conference schedule today, but didn’t want to miss out on Five Minute Friday, so I have a quick but cute project to share with you this morning. A couple of weekends ago I hosted a “Stock the Kitchen” themed wedding shower for my soon to be sister-in-law. My brother-in-law and his fiancé love to cook, and since the guest list included all of the ... View the Post
Menswear Themed Boy’s Room
TODAY IS THE DAY! The day that I get to reveal Beckett's new big boy room! I said back in Week 1 that I work best under a deadline, and is that ever true. There is no way that this room would have gotten done in six weeks time if it weren't for all of your encouragement, A LOT of hard work and late nights from my uber supportive husband, and some very special help from my talented mother. If you are interested in the weekly update posts to see how it all got done, you can find those ... View the Post
Small Coat Closet Storage Solutions
Fall is officially here, which means winter is right around the corner. As the temperature cools down, now is a great time to tackle coat closet organization to save time and stress when you're trying to find a matching pair of gloves on your way out the door. Last year, I whipped my coat closet into shape and shared lots of coat closet organization ideas that can be applied to both large and small spaces. But since I'm lucky enough to have a larger than average closet, I realize that the ... 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
DIY Dollhouse Makeover: Make an Off-the-Shelf Dollhouse Look Like Your House
When we were little, my mom created several dollhouses for my sister and me. She bought them unfinished, and then meticulously decorated and furnished them, using real carpet, tile, and linoleum remnants on the floors, and using fabric to create wallpaper for the walls. Those dollhouses were our prized possessions and I always envisioned creating a similar dollhouse for my own daughter someday. Since I have two sons, I kind of assumed that there wouldn't be any dollhouses in my future, so how ... View the Post
Five Step Quick Cleaning Routine
That moment when the phone rings with friends asking if they can stop by, and you look around the house wondering how much you can clean up in the next 30 minutes before they arrive. Please tell me I'm not the only one this has happened to?! I always do better when I have a plan, so I thought I'd embrace the idea of spring cleaning this year by coming up with a simple game plan that I can use throughout the year to whip the house into shape quickly. With young kids and a new puppy in the ... View the Post
My Home Style: Before & After Edition
Last fall, I teamed up with a group of 20 bloggers to share our unique decorating styles. We were each challenged by our host, Stephanie of Casa Watkins Living, to come up with just three words to define our style. I debated a long time about what my three words should be - modern? urban? colorful? bold? Finally I settled on MODERN. GRAPHIC. FAMILY. This week, we are revisiting our design definitions, but this time each participating blogger is sharing before and after photos that ... View the Post
Dual Home Office Design Plan – One Room Challenge: Week 1
Well, hello! It's been a minute since I've posted anything here on the blog! The last project I posted was our basement bathroom makeover at the end of 2021, and, well... that was the last project we finished around the house. But that's about to change! You might remember that I've been talking for years about redoing our home office to make it a functional space for Scott and me to share. And it's FINALLY happening! Where have we been? After about a decade of non-stop home projects, ... View the Post
{decorating with style} Client Family Room Makeover Plans
This post is sponsored by Carpet One Floor & Home® I've been working on a few different clients projects lately - some decor and some organization - and I'm having the time of my life. I just love helping someone take a room or closet that isn't working well for them and transforming it into a space that they can be proud of and that improves the way they live in their home. And of course, just like in all the projects I tackle in my own home, finding the right balance of style and ... View the Post
Labeling Trash, Recycling & Compost Bins
Right after we moved into our house we swapped out the single pull out trash can in the kitchen for a double pull-out system that allows us to have both trash and recycling hidden within a single cabinet. Recently, Denver began a new compost program and we are excited to be participating, but this mean adding one more trash can. Since we had no space for an additional can within a cabinet or under the kitchen sink, we opted for a stainless steel flip-top can at the end of our counter. This ... View the Post
