A lot of people's idea of a vacation is a tropical destination relaxing on a beach, but Scott and I are more wired for city lights. So when we decided to take a Babymoon before the arrival of baby number two, we decided to head to one of our favorite places - New York City. The trip was nonstop, including three Broadway shows in four days, art museums and sightseeing ... But I couldn't go to NYC and not take in some interior design inspiration. In my last post, I ...

{organizing with style} Small Sewing Space Inspiration
When I was in elementary school and junior high, I took sewing lessons and learned all the basics, but until last year, I never owned a sewing machine of my own. Over the years, my mom {who is a very talented sewer} asked me many times if I would like a machine, but I always said no because I had no where to put it and knew that I wouldn't really use it if I had to drag it out to the kitchen table and then put it away each time. I knew that in order to justify owning a sewing machine, I needed ... View the Post

{seasonal style} Mason Jar Jack OLanterns
Ok, folks, I'm finally jumping on board the mason jar band wagon! Over the last year or two, I've seen a lot of mason jar Jack O Lanterns on Pinterest, but they've all had black faces and the light has shown through translucent paint or paper covering the remainder of the jar. I love all of these, but wanted to do something a bit different - so I opted for an opaque paint on the jar with the light shining through the unpainted eyes, nose, and mouth. I decided to take a ...

{organizing with style} Get Ready for Back to School With These Kitchen Organizing Tips
The school year is right around the corner, which means the end of those long, relaxed summer days, but it also provides a great opportunity for a fresh start. Creating some simple organizing systems for back to school can help you get back into a good routine, and can keep you on track throughout the year. The kitchen is certainly the heart of the home, and, in our home, it is also school command central! In addition to packing lunches, we have a lot of “school stuff” to keep track of ... 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
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
{decorating with style} Metallic Wine Bottle Vases for Fall
Are you a fan of the gold trend? I am still more of a silver girl at heart - and there is a lot of silver in my home - but I am trying to embrace the gold trend by incorporating some gold here and there. Both gold and copper make me think of autumn, so I've been having fun mixing metals in some of my fall decor projects, including these shiny, happy wine bottle vases. I recently purchased some peacock feathers and some cotton branches that I wanted to incorporate in to my fall ... View the Post

{one room challenge} Week 4: Knock Off Art & TV Gallery Wall Inspiration
Finally! Finally a week where I feel like I can see real progress and I'm excited to write my One Room Challenge update! Nonetheless, the chaos in our master bedroom {which I referred to last week as the "Storm Before the Calm"} remains. In fact, the chaos increased when we had to move all of the furniture to the center of the room in order to paint, but hubby and I have temporarily relocated to the guest room and having a restful place to sleep has improved my perspective. This week, my ... View the Post
