Today marks the start of another One Room Challenge. Just one year ago, I heard about this event for the first time and about two hours later I threw my hat into the ring, committing to get Beckett's "big boy" bedroom completed in a mere six {really it's five} weeks time. It was CRAZY, but it got done and that made it all worth while! So worth while that I subjected myself to the craziness again in the fall when I redid our master bedroom for my second One Room Challenge. And just like that {a ... View the Post

My Home Style: Before & After Edition
Last fall, I teamed up with a group of 20 bloggers to share our unique decorating styles. We were each challenged by our host, Stephanie of Casa Watkins Living, to come up with just three words to define our style. I debated a long time about what my three words should be - modern? urban? colorful? bold? Finally I settled on MODERN. GRAPHIC. FAMILY. This week, we are revisiting our design definitions, but this time each participating blogger is sharing before and after photos that ... View the Post
Master Bedroom Makeover Without Buying New Furniture
A few weeks ago I told you about a call I received from a college friend asking for help giving her master bedroom a new, more sophisticated look, and today I'm ecstatic to show you the dramatic transformation we achieved in the space despite keeping the room layout and most of the same furniture! In my two prior posts about this space, I shared a lot of information about the space and the design plans, so I won't rehash all of that here {since I know you really just want to see the pretty ...

{decorating with style} Gallery Wall Tips for Type A Personalities
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

{organizing with style} 10 Steps to Get Organized and STAY ORGANIZED
On Monday, I shared an ambitious list of decorating and organizing projects that I hope to accomplish in 2015. Among the projects on the list are numerous areas of our home that I've organized {and reorganized} in the past, but that need attention again because they just aren't working for us. So before I tackle these spaces yet again, I decided to take a step back and figure out why some of our spaces stay so well organized while others continue to be problem spots. After taking the time to ... View the Post

How to Make a Family Fire Safety Plan + Free Printable
Thank you First Alert for sponsoring this post. October is Fire Prevention Month - practice safety in numbers to ensure your family’s super prepared too! I'm pretty sure I never slept as a kid. Instead, I laid in bed at night worrying. I worried about a lot of things, but what to do if there was a fire was a frequent source of my insomnia. When I would finally fall asleep, I'd often have dreams about fire. I don't know why this was so often on my mind because at the time I'd never even known ... View the Post

Thank you First Alert Onelink for sponsoring this post. Onelink Safe & Sound - Meet Your Family’s New Best Friend. #ONELINKSTORY Last summer, we started adding some smart home features to our house, including keyless locks, light bulbs we can control with our phones, and even a smart garage door opener.

Home Made Smarter
As I get older, I'm determined to keep up with the newest technology. Sure I haven't heard of the latest dating app, and there's always some new social media aimed at the generation a decade younger than I am, but I do pretty well {mostly thanks to my husband, who sometimes has to drag me along when I complain about why the TV needs three different remotes}. Our house is the same way. Built just about 10 years ago, it came before smart home technology really became mainstream. And I've ... View the Post
{decorating with style} What is the One Room Challenge?
Welcome October! I love fall, though I am always sad to see the summer end. This year the summer was particularly busy - between attending my first ever Haven Conference in July, two family weddings in August, and a trip to South Africa in September. I was looking forward to life slowing down a bit this fall, but then I decided that slow is overrated... That's why I am once again joining the One Room Challenge, which means that in just six weeks time I'll be making over one room of our house, ... View the Post
