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
{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

We recently completed Project Paint Storage at our house, which included transferring all of our latex paint into plastic, screw-top canisters with labels, creating a customized paint deck, completing paint reference charts, compiling a kit to make organizing new paint quick and easy in the future, and finally organizing and storing all of our other painting supplies in our utility room. During the course of this project, we did a lot of research regarding ... View the Post
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
Planning Our Dining Room Facelift
If you've been reading the blog for a while now, then you've most likely heard a lot about the One Room Challenge - a twice annual blogging when a large group of design bloggers come together to each completely makeover one room in a short five weeks. I've participated in the ORC seven and half times. How do you participate half a time? I'm glad you asked! Back in the spring, I decided to makeover our kitchen dining area.

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
Here We Go Again…Kitchen Edition
There hasn't been much happening on the blog the last few weeks (blame the new puppy!), but it's like with kids... when they are quiet you need to worry about what they're getting up to. And while it's been quiet on the blog I've come up with the crazy, last minute idea to jump into the One Room Challenge again this spring. If you've been reading the blog for a while now, you're probably pretty familiar with the One Room Challenge, which I've participated in a whopping seven times before ... View the Post
A Toy Storage Solution That Can Grow With the Kids
The holidays are over and there are SO MANY new toys! It's a perfect time to purge and donate toys that kids have outgrown, and to come up with a new toy storage plan that will grow with the kids! There are a ton of toy organizer options out there, but to stand the test of time, you need to find a toy organizer that is flexible enough to change with the size, shape and quantity of the toys through the years. Around this time last year, I got a call from a friend who said her son's toys were ... View the Post
An Easy Way to File Recipe Clippings and Delivery Menus
Try as I might, magazines always manage to pile up around our house. But I just can't let go of them until I've had a chance to tear out any ideas I might want to save for later - especially recipes. So this morning, while the kids played, I dedicated an hour to flipping through a stack of magazines, tearing out all the recipes I want to try. As the I tossed all the recipe clippings into a pile, I realized today would be a perfect time to show you the simple filing system I use in the kitchen ... View the Post
