{five minute friday} Framed Photo Stamps
If you checked out my One Room Challenge reveal of our new master bedroom yesterday, then you already got a glimpse of today's Five Minute Friday project. Today I am sharing the simple details because despite being so quick and easy, it really makes me smile! I don't even know if it's still "cool" to use photo stamps for your wedding stationery, but when I got married back in 2007 it was pretty trendy so I think it's a safe bet that I'm not the only one who has a bunch of extra ...

{mom’s style} Framing a Sculpture with a Painting
Today's post is long overdue! It's the return of the {mom's style} feature that I launched last fall, where I share some design inspiration from my uber talented mother. You can read an introduction to my mom and her style here. I am so excited to show you the ingenious way that my mom took a sculpture and made it a major focal point by simply adding a painting behind it to draw your eye and make it pop. Several years ago, my parents purchased this horse sculpture at the Cherry ... View the Post
I Love You Because… Dry Erase Love Note Printable
I love my husband for a million big reasons and a million small reasons. I constantly tell him that I love him, but I don't always tell him the specific things that I love about him. So, for Valentine's Day, I wanted to find a way to tell him all of the things that make him so special to me, and what better way than to leave him a love note every day?! This ever-changing love note is a Pinterest inspired project. I designed and framed the "I Love You Because..." print, and placed it ... View the Post
When and Why to Prime Before Painting
This post is sponsored by Rust-Oleum, whose products make almost all of my DIY projects look better! Do you ever ask yourself, do I need to prime before paining this or is primer really necessary? I know I do! Back in law school I spent many hours painting a laminate bookshelf for my apartment, only to have the paint peel right off because I didn't prime it first. I'm a much savvier DIYer now than I was back then, but I still find myself questioning when I need to use ... 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
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
Color Coded Nail Polish Drawer
With spring official here, I am itching for warmer weather - mostly because I love wearing sandals and flip flops! Although I don't paint my fingernails all that often (something I'd like to change) - I ALWAYS have my toenails painted and I can't wait to start sporting some spring colors! So to get ready for the warmer weather that will hopefully be headed our way soon {but not soon enough since the forecast calls for snow tomorrow}, I decided to organize all of my nail polish. I have a ... View the Post
How to Create Durable and Pretty Basket Labels
Did you guys have a chance to check out our newly organized coat closet? I'm still grinning from ear to ear about how it turned out, and as usual, I added a few different types of DIY labels to help keep it organized. Labeling is so important because it allows every person in the family to know where to find things, and makes it much easier to put things back in the right place. But labels are no good if they can't hold up to some wear and tear, and simple paper labels are not up to that ... View the Post
{organizing with style} My Makeup Drawer
Is your makeup a mess? It doesn't have to be! Today I'm sharing a few simple tips for keeping makeup organized in a drawer. STEP 1 - SORT & PURGE The first step to organizing any drawer is to empty it out completely. Once everything is out on the counter, begin sorting your makeup. The categories I selected were eyes, lips and face. Once I had my makeup sorted, I began to purge anything that was too old or that I just don't use anymore. I am never sure how long to keep ...

Small Utility Room Shelving Solution & the Best Way to Organize Paint Supplies
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
{organizing with style} 10 Steps to Get Organized and STAY ORGANIZED
On Monday, I shared an ambitious list of decorating and organizing projects that I hope to accomplish in 2015. Among the projects on the list are numerous areas of our home that I've organized {and reorganized} in the past, but that need attention again because they just aren't working for us. So before I tackle these spaces yet again, I decided to take a step back and figure out why some of our spaces stay so well organized while others continue to be problem spots. After taking the time to ... View the Post
