I'm sure you're wondering, "What in the heck is a baby elevator closet?" Let me explain... Our house is built on three levels plus the basement, and when the builder designed it they anticipated that someone might want to add an elevator someday. Stacked directly on top of one another, all four levels of our house have a nice size closet. If someone ever wanted to add an elevator to the house ( I can't even begin to imagine what that would cost), these four closets would become an ... View the Post

{mom’s style} Launching a New Feature!
Today I'm launching a new feature that I'm calling {mom's style} where, from time to time, I'll be sharing with you some of my mom's fabulous designs and projects. As I mentioned last week, my mom and I have very different decorating styles (mine more modern and contemporary with lots of bright colors - hers featuring many more earth tones with carefully selected pops of color). Let me start by introducing you to my mom, Debbie. Can you see the resemblance? I can't describe ... View the Post

{Last Chance to Vote} Apartment Therapy’s “Room for Color” Contest
As I mentioned yesterday, a while back I entered the Apartment Therapy "Room for Color" contest by submitting photos of Beckett's ombre striped nursery. And earlier this week I learned that my submission made it through the "Editor's Phase" and has now been posted on the contest website for the first round of voting. Thanks to everyone who helped by voting yesterday. I'm now in the TOP 10 in my division, but I need to move up to the top 5 to make it to the judging round! Can ... View the Post
{entertaining with style} Mood Board for a Jungle Themed Baby Shower
Recently I received a reader request for suggestions for a jungle themed baby shower! I was really excited by this request, because not only do I love jungle animals {as evidenced by our nursery}, but also because I have always wanted to host a jungle themed shower. This gave me a great opportunity to share a lot of the ideas that I've had floating around in my head for a long time. I'm a very visual person and I enjoy the process of putting my ideas down on paper, so I created a quick jungle ... View the Post
{featured} I Got My DIY On!
I don't know about you, but I am ready for the weekend! My boys and I have been sick for the last two weeks, but nonetheless I've been busy working on some major organizing projects around the house. We've been in the "it gets worse before it gets better" phase for a while now, but it's finally all coming together and I can't wait to show these projects with you very soon! But in the meantime, I wanted to share something that made me grin from ear to ear... Each month, five lovely ... View the Post
{one room challenge} Week 4: Getting Down to Business in the Boys’ Room
It's week 4 of the One Room Challenge and I finally have some real progress to report! After waiting and waiting for stuff to arrive, we finally started moving stuff out of the nursery this week to make room for the new bunk beds. And just like that we've officially entered the "it get's worse before it get's better" phase of the ORC. If you don't know what I'm talking about, let me quickly bring you up to speed. We're transforming the nursery into a room for our 3 and 5 year old ... View the Post
Shared Boys’ Bedroom Makeover
We're all jumping for joy over here because the boys' new room is finally finished! It's bright and fun and a little wild, just like Beckett and Cooper, and I am so excited to show it to you! This is One Room Challenge number seven in the books. It's always a rush to the finish line, but once the room is done, it's so much fun to take a step back and see what we've created through the lens of the camera. The boys were very active participants in designing this shared bedroom over the past six ... View the Post
{home tour} Come On In…Let Me Show You Our Second Level!
As you read this, I am on a plane bound for the Haven Conference! But while I'm headed for Atlanta, I wanted to invite you to a little open house here in Denver... For months the "Home Tour" page of my blog has promised to be "coming soon"...so I thought it was about time I finally get my act together and show you around. Our house is spread over three floors and a finished basement, so I thought I'd break the tour down a bit, and I am starting today with the second level. All of the photos you ... 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
Adding Engraved Plates to Frames
We've all seen pretty engraved photo frames, but what if you have a frame that can't be engraved, or that you don't want to permanently alter? Simply add a sticky-backed engraved plate! When I was in college I studied abroad in Brisbane, Australia for six months and had the opportunity to travel all around the continent {and beyond}. Shortly after returning home I picked up a gorgeous blue 9-photo frame on clearance at Pottery Barn and filled it full of my favorite Australia photos to hang in ... View the Post
Menswear Themed Boy’s Room
TODAY IS THE DAY! The day that I get to reveal Beckett's new big boy room! I said back in Week 1 that I work best under a deadline, and is that ever true. There is no way that this room would have gotten done in six weeks time if it weren't for all of your encouragement, A LOT of hard work and late nights from my uber supportive husband, and some very special help from my talented mother. If you are interested in the weekly update posts to see how it all got done, you can find those ... View the Post
