My name is Angela, and I have Type A personality. {Now you say:} Hi, Angela! Phew, it feels good to get that off my chest! As you probably already know, I'm a pretty structured person, and I like to create detailed plans before I make any decorating or organizing decisions. When I designed Beckett's "big boy room," I created a to-scale rendering of the the argyle wall to decide on the exact color placements before I began painting. And when I organized our pantry, I drew up a ... View the Post

Modern Gallery Wall Idea: Photos with Rounded Corners
When you have a large space to fill, scale is key! We have a lot of high, skinny windows throughout our house, and figuring out how to fill the space below them has been one of my biggest design challenges.

Finally, I came across an inspiration photo of an office where an entire wall was filled with three rows of oversized, black and white photos and it ... View the Post

While I love my Cricut Explore Air (and am coveting a Cricut Maker for it's ability to cut even more materials), the truth is that both machines are much more powerful than what I need for the majority of my projects. I love ... View the Post

{style inspiration} Interior Design Inspiration from the 2016 IKEA Catalog
Every year I eagerly sit down with my hot off the presses IKEA catalog and begin marking the pages all the items on my wish list with colorful sticky flags. But this year I got impatient waiting for the 2016 catalog to hit my mailbox, so I decide to start my browsing with the digital version instead. And even now that my paper catalog has arrived, I'm pretty hooked on the online version! When I watch tv and movies, I sometimes have a hard time focusing on the show because I'm so ... View the Post

While ... View the Post

Finally! Finally a week where I feel like I can see real progress and I'm excited to write my One Room Challenge update!

This week, my ... View the Post
