Both of my boys go to preschool two days a week, and they do an art project every day. We also do a lot of art projects at home, so all the creativity was starting to pile up. I used to put all of the art in a basket in our entry way table, but I knew I needed a better long term solution. I have fun long term plans for documenting our boys' art work in books so that we don't have to keep every individual piece of paper. I want to make one book for their toddler/preschool years art, one for ... View the Post

Under Bathroom Sink Organization Ideas for Small Powder Room Cabinets
I like the style of the floating cabinet in our powder room, but it's very limited on actual storage space. I've had a hard time finding an under bathroom sink organizer that would fit around the pipes in this tiny cabinet. Over the years, I purchased a few options - but each time I broke my own cardinal rule and didn't measure first, so not surprisingly, none of them fit. As a result, the cabinet ended up looking like this for far too long... I know I'm not the only one with a very ... View the Post
How to Organize Spray Paint Cans
Our house has a detached garage, which, as a DIYer, can sometimes pose challenges. Because the garage is unheated and uninsulated, I basically have a spray paint season, and then a long period of months when it's too cold to paint in the garage. And the months of cold weather also make spray paint storage a challenge. A couple of years ago, I added shelves in our utility room to store some of our paint and painting supplies. I did a lot of research to determine if it was safe to store paint ... View the Post
Armoire Baby Central: A Changing Station and Organized Baby Clothes
We are getting settled in at home as a family of four, and Cooper is such a wonderful new addition! It's always amazing to me how much stuff comes along with such a tiny little person. Fortunately this time around there wasn't much new that we needed to purchase, but there was still the question of where to put it all. When we were preparing for the arrival of baby number one a year and half ago, we spent most of our time decorating the nursery and getting it organized with all ... View the Post
{diy with style} The Best Tips and Tricks for Painting Any Space
Last year when I finished painting the argyle wall in my son's room, I posted the full tutorial, and then buried down at the bottom, I shared my best tips and tricks for any painting project.

So here you have it, all the painting wisdom I have picked up {largely through trial and error} over the course of many DIY projects! These tips and tricks ... View the Post
One-Stop Shopping Holiday Gift Guide
Thank you to Office Depot for sponsoring this post. When I was a kid, I counted down to the holidays and time seemed to move so slowly it felt like we'd never get to winter break. As an adult, between running a business and parenting, it feels like I blink and the holidays have come and gone. This year, I'm trying hard to slow down and simplify a bit so that I can really enjoy the season and create lots of memories with my own kids. It's easy to get overwhelmed by the holiday ...

Fun Ways to Encourage Kids to Read
My boys have toys, and toys, and more toys, but one of their favorite things has always been sitting down with a big pile of books. That makes me such a proud mom! I really hope that their early passion for books will turn into a life long love of reading, so I'm constantly looking for new ways to encourage them to continue reaching for books! I know that for some kids, books don't hold the same appeal, and, for some, they may even be a source of frustration. After talking with friends ... View the Post

Creating an organized and pretty, happy home is what this blog is all about, and I firmly believe that those things all naturally go hand in hand.

My friend Melissa, from A Prudent Life, and I share a passion for creating stylish organizing solutions, and we recently started a hashtag challenge ... View the Post
How to Host a Stock the Kitchen Wedding Shower
A couple of months ago I had the honor of hosting a family wedding shower for my soon to be sister-in-law, Allie! Allie and her fiance {my brother-in-law, Jay} both love to cook, and most of the gifts they registered for are kitchen and cooking related, so a "Stock the Kitchen" shower seemed like a perfect choice! Years ago, my mom gifted me a recipe box filled with recipes from all of our friends and family! It is a prized possession of mine, and I wanted to do the same for Allie! I found a ... View the Post
