Dry Erase Memo Board + Free Laundry Symbols Printable Poster
When I redesigned our laundry closet, my goal was to not only make it pettier and better organized, but to also make it easier to ensure that our clothes always come out looking their best. I had seen lots of cute laundry symbols posters online, but what I really needed was a memo board to keep track of notes about special washing instructions... and I got the best of both worlds by creating my own. And now I'm giving it to you as a free printable, in your choice of colors! Laundry is ... View the Post
Closet Doors & Paint – One Room Challenge: Week 4
The floor drama that I told you about last week took some extra time and slowed us down a bit, but we quickly got back on track and checked two more big items off of the home office to-do list. As a reminder- here's where we left off last week... When we first moved into our house, the home office (which is actually just a basement bedroom) had bypass / sliding closet doors. Here's a picture from move-in day back in 2008 when the room was still empty. In the fall of 2019, when I was ... View the Post
Drab to Fab Project with the Denver Home Show
I've been working hard on a fun project behind the scenes, and decided it was time to share a few details. I'm in the process of giving four pieces of thrift store furniture some seriously dramatic makeovers - and the finished pieces will be on display next month at the Denver Home Show for a feature called Drab to Fab! The Denver Home Show - and similar Home Shows around the country - is THE place to find innovate products, new ideas, practical advice and great deals in remodeling, home ... View the Post
Modern Dining Room Makeover
I couldn't be more excited to share our dining room makeover with you! This has been my eighth One Room Challenge, and as always it was a race to the finish line... but we made it and the space turned out better than I had imagined. It also remains one of the hardest spaces in our house to photograph, so I hope my pictures do it justice. Our kitchen dining area was the first to be decorated when we moved into our house ten years ago this month. That's because it was one of the few rooms ... View the Post
Dining Room Facelift Progress
It's the final week of theĀ One Room ChallengeĀ before the big reveal next week. Our kitchen dining area has come a long way, but we've saved the best for last... which is really just another way of saying that we've procrastinated on a couple of the biggest projects and we'd better hope everything goes smoothly so we can make it to the finish line!

{one room challenge} Curtain Call
A couple of weeks ago I dubbed the status of my progress on the One Room Challenge "the storm before the calm"- and now that Week 5 has come and gone, I am finally starting to see some of the calm. In all of my design projects, it always gets worse before it gets better, and I am happy to report that I can now see a glimmer of the calm as the completed space starts to really take shape. To quickly catch you up, I am participating in the One Room Challenge for which I am ... View the Post
Colorful and Modern Oriental Rugs
If you'd asked me few years ago if I'd ever add an oriental rug in my modern living room, I would have told you no way. But this traditional style of rug has made a playful comeback in recent years with lots of bold, colorful options. At the beginning of the year, we repainted our living room walls from teal to gray, and added an entire wall of white book shelves (get the details on how we customized these IKEA bookshelves). After the updates, our living room was feeling a little too neutral ... View the Post
Toy Storage Baskets With Grown Up Style
I was recently asked to define my home style in just three words, and my answer was Modern, Graphic & Family. Is "family" a style?! To me, having kids means incorporating them into every room of the house. But that doesn't mean that every space has to look like a playroom. Instead, it's all about finding ways to maintain your own personal style while still creating a home that's kid-friendly. To help you do just that, I've compiled a list of 12 of my favorite baskets perfect for ... View the Post
Kitchen Dining Design Decisions
Normally when I start a One Room Challenge, I already have a solid plan in place. I've already have a vision for the space, and I've done my research and at least some of my shopping. But not this time... Here we are at Week 2, and I'm still formulating my vision and shopping like crazy to figure out how to pull this space together. While that is bad news for my timeline, the good news is that I get to take you along for the ride and giving you a bit more insight into the design ... View the Post
{one room challenge} Fluff & Fold: Laundry Room Week 5 Update
We are in the home stretch now! Only one more week left until the big reveal of our laundry room and linen closet makeover, which really means we have just a few days to finish everything up in order to allow time to photograph and prepare the reveal post. This is nail biting time, my friends! Will it all get done? I'm feeling optimistic, but there are still a couple projects that I have yet to work out the logistics of, so we'll see! But we did manage to accomplish a lot this week, so ... View the Post
12 Ways to Organize the Laundry Room
My friend Melissa, from A Prudent Life, and I share a passion for creating stylish organizing solutions, and we recently started a hashtag challenge on Instagram where we are asking you to play along by tagging photos on a weekly organizing topic using #organizingwithstyle - and you don't have to be a blogger to participate! For week 2 of the challenge, we asked to see photos of how you use stylishly organize your laundry room, and today, we've rounded up some ... View the Post
