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

Pant Hangers to Display Kids’ Art
Today marks the conclusion of Boy Mom Madness, so it seems fitting that my Five Minute Friday project should also be for the boys. Beckett goes to preschool two days a week, and they do an art project every day. That's a lot of fabulous three-year old art that comes into our house! Right now I am keeping all of it in a bin, and I have ideas in mind for how I'll decide what the keep, and how to document it without saving every piece of paper. But those are stories for other days. Today, I'm ... View the Post
{planning} What Got Done in 2015, What Didn’t, and What’s On the List for 2016
By now you probably know that I'm a big list maker. Not only do lists help me remember what I want/need to get done, there is also something so satisfying about checking items off a list! In fact, when I finish a task that's not on my list, I've been known to add it to the list just so I can check it off. Early in January of 2015, I shared a very ambitious list of projects I wanted to tackle during the year. Not surprisingly, I didn't come close to crossing off each item, but I also ... View the Post
How to Install Temporary, Removable Wallpaper
Don't you just love when a DIY project that totally intimidates you turns out to be much easier than you expected? That's the story of the temporary, removable wallpaper that I installed in our laundry/linen closet! I partnered with Tempaper - maker of self-adhesive, repositionable, temporary wallpaper - during our laundry closet makeover, so some of the tips in this tutorial are based on my experience with this brand specifically, but the steps will be the same for any similar temporary ...

{one room challenge} Laundry List: Week 2 Update
The first week of the One Room Challenge has already come and gone, so it's time to check in on the laundry and linen closet makeover. Last week I showed you the concept and design plans, and this week I want to talk about the specifics, including what was working and what wasn't in the former space, and what's on the to do list. But first, you probably want a progress update. Let's see...I caught up on about 6 loads of laundry. {Nothing like having to disconnect the washer ... View the Post

I hope you haven't hit leather overload yet, because I have one last leather project to share with you today for Five Minute Friday. I've heard from many of you that are now planning to add some leather belt drawer pulls to your dresser, but for those who love to the look but don't want to go as far as adding belts to your furniture...this post is for you! You all know that I love a good label and I'm always looking for new ways to make labels pretty, and this might just be my favorite label ... 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
15 Ways to Maximize Storage With Over the Door Organizers
I've heard a lot of people advise that you don't need more storage, you just need less stuff... and while we could all benefit from a good purging session, let's be honest, sometimes you really do need more storage! Not everyone has the luxury of a spacious pantry, coat closet, or laundry room, but that doesn't mean we don't need food, hats and scarves, and clean clothes. My biggest piece of advice for organizing when you're short on space is to take advantage of every available nook and ... View the Post
Linen Closet Organizing Hack
We've been spending a lot of time in Breckenridge this summer, and it's a beautiful place to be! We are very fortunate that my parent's have a house there, and it provides a great place to escape to cooler weather and relaxed days. But even when were are in Breckenridge on semi-vacation {both working remotely much of the time}, the day to day stuff still has to get done. Meals cooked, dishes cleaned, laundry washed. The other day, when I opened the linen closet to grab out the broom to ... View the Post
Small Laundry Room Organization Ideas

This post is full of clever laundry room organization ideas that are perfect for small laundry rooms and laundry closets. Last week I showed you my newly made over laundry closet, and shared all the stylish details, like the temporary wallpaper, the pendant light, and the abstract art. Let's be honest, though... a ...

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
{organizing with style} Managing Kitchen Paper Piles with a Simple Filing System
One of the blogs that inspired me to start my own was iHeartOrganizing. This year, iHeart’s Jen is issuing a monthly organizing challenge, and February is focused on the kitchen. While I certainly need to give my pantry a major overhaul, I just knew I wouldn’t be able to complete that project this month - and fortunately in the meantime it’s behind a closed door. So I instead decide to participate in Jen’s challenge by tackling a smaller problem, but one that’s out in the open - our ... View the Post
