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

{organizing with style} Project Paint Storage and a Free Printable
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
Affordable and Modern Gray Dining Chairs
I have a love/hate relationship with shopping for home decor. I love looking at ALL the options and I start designing a room around each in my mind. When I'm shopping to buy, and not just shopping for the the imaginary rooms that I dream up, it's usually pretty easy for me to zero in on the one. But when it turns out that the one is either out of my price range, or worse, is no longer available, I get pretty frustrated. There could be a million other options out there, but once I've found what I ... View the Post
Library Book Basket with a Leather Label
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.

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
{decorating with style} Tutorial for Painting Perfect Ombre Wall Stripes
As I told you in my first nursery blog post, I decided to go bold and paint our nursery with ombre inspired stripes that graduate in color - from dark at the floor, to light at the ceiling - so that in the end, the effect would be similar to that of a paint sample strip. Click here to read about our color selection process. These were the five Benjamin Moore colors we ended up selecting (which may appear different depending on your screen settings). For those who love the ... View the Post
Designing a Comfortable, Modern Guest Room
Remember a couple of months ago when I showed you the very colorful design plans I was working on for a client's hip rooftop deck? Well that same client also had two extra bedrooms that he wanted to transform into stylish and comfortable spaces for welcoming guests. Today, I want to show you what we're working on in the larger of the two guest rooms, where we're even managing to squeeze in a little work space as well. When I toured the home for the first time, the room was literally a ... View the Post
{shopping for style} Great Resources for Affordable Decorative Knobs & Pulls
Changing out hardware is one of the easiest ways to refresh the look of your space without investing a lot of time or money. Decorative knobs and pulls are like jewelry for your furniture and cabinets, and just like the accessories we choose for ourselves, they can be understated or can make a bold statement about our style and personality. By simply updating your hardware, you can adopt the latest trend or capture a period-specific style. Best of off all, it requires minimal commitment and can ... 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
Slowing Our Kitchen Roll
One of the things I love most about the One Room Challenge is that it gives me the motivation I need to start and finish a project in the short span of six weeks. I've participated in the ORC seven times before, and I've always managed to complete the makeover just in the nick of time without ever compromising on the design. In fact, participating in the ORC has always pushed me to go big and make bold design decisions, which exactly the way I like it. Over the course of the last few ... View the Post
{link party} The Creative Circle: Week 2
I have to start today's post by thanking everyone who joined us to help Kathy and I kick off The Creative Circle last week! I had a wonderful time visiting every post that was linked up - they were all so inspiring and it was so hard to pick my favorites {but I had to...so keep reading to see my top three}! This past week was full of some frustrations because I discovered that nearly all of the comments I was leaving on others' blogs were not being received. On some sites, my comments were ...

Welcome to The Creative Circle link party - a place to share and find inspiration for your home! How is 2016 treating you so far? I know most of us start the year with lots of goals and plans, and I hope that you're off to a good start.

If you 2016 goals also involve organizing, functional and ... View the Post
The New and Improved Denver Union Station and the Crawford Hotel
Although I am not currently practicing law {since I am staying home with my boys for a couple of years}, one my favorite parts of my job representing metropolitan districts was getting an inside look at some of the major development and redevelopment projects happening around Denver and throughout Colorado. Last spring, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to take a hard hat tour of Denver's Union Station mid-renovation {and, of course, I blogged all about it}. Ever since that time, I ...
