To say we have a lot of latex paint might be an understatement! When we bought our home, the builder left us a touch up kit with 2 quarts of each color of paint used throughout the house (including the original wall colors, the trim, ceilings, and closet interior paints). Additionally, we have since repainted many of the rooms in the house, resulting in a lot more leftover paint (and in the case of the ombre stripes in the nursery we used five different colors). Until a few weeks ... View the Post

Pretty Pantry Labels Three Ways + FREE PRINTABLE LABELS
Last week I shared my five steps for creating an organized and pretty pantry, and I gave you a tour of our pantry space. Over a year after first completing our pantry makeover, the space is functioning just as well today as it did on day one - and I believe we have the labels to thank for that! Without labels, our pantry would just be a sea of matching white bins. I would have a pretty good idea of what goes where, since I organized it to start with, but imagine my poor kids and husband! They ... View the Post
Organizing Kids Toys with Labels that Are Easy to Update
Raise your hand if you love to label ALL. THE. THINGS? Me too! Labeling is one of the most important steps in the process of creating an organized space, because it makes it easy for everyone in the family to find what they need, and makes it much easier to put everything away where it belongs. But not all labels are created equal. A label is only good if it's accurate, so it's important to make labels easy to update for those spots in the house where the contents are likely to change ...

Backyard Evolution Part 1 – The Before Photos & Initial Plans
Those of you that follow me on Instagram have probably seen a few photos lately of the work we are currently doing in our backyard. But this current landscaping work is just one step in what has been a six year long process to make our small, city backyard work for us - first as a couple of DINKs, and now as a family with two young boys. I thought it might be fun to go back in time to when we first moved into our home in 2008, and walk you through each stage of the process, starting ... View the Post
{one room challenge} Garage Makeover Week 5: In the Home Stretch
Just like this World Series game that's at the top of the 10th as I write this update, our One Room Challenge garage makeover is in the home stretch, but the stress levels are high! The garage was looking so good last week. I could have stood and stared all day at the rows upon rows of white drawers and shelves just waiting to be filled up and organized! And maybe I did, because I can't seem to figure out where the last week went. We didn't get nearly as much done this week as I ... View the Post
Framed Paint Brush Art
Every garage needs art, right?! Ok, maybe need isn't the right word. But the framed paint brushes in my garage sure do make me happy, and this garage art was pretty easy to make!

This would also make the perfect display for a craft room, art studio, or in the bedroom of a really creative kiddo! This post contains affiliate links. If you buy something I recommend, you ...

{one room challenge} Garage Makeover Week 4: Let There Be Shelves
I swear that there is some kind of One Room Challenge time warp that occurs because Thursdays seem to come too quickly! It's already time for the week 4 progress update, which means only two weeks left to get the garage makeover completely finished. Getting the "stuff" back in shouldn't be a problem, but it's yet to be seen if I'll be able to get all of the fun and creative projects done. That's a problem for tomorrow though... today let's celebrate what got done this past week. Be ... View the Post

How to Store Leftover Paint + Free Printable Paint Labels
Saying we have a lot of leftover paint might be an understatement! When we bought our home, the builder left us a touch up kit with 2 quarts of each color of paint used throughout the house (including all the original wall colors, the trim, ceilings, and closet interior paints). Since that time we have repainted many of the rooms in the house, resulting in even more leftover paint. In the boys' bedroom alone, where we painted ombre stripes, we have five different colors of teal paint to ... View the Post

How to Properly Store, Dispose Of, and Recycle Paint and Paint Cans
As a serial DIYer, I'm always repainting the walls in our house, and painting just about everything else in sight with spray paint. That leaves us with a lot of leftover paint and, in time, a lot of empty paint cans. We have a very small utility room and a detached, unheated garage, so I had a lot of questions about how and where I could safely store my leftover paint, and how to properly dispose of paint and paint cans. I did a lot of research regarding both paint storage and disposal options, ... View the Post
