Stylish Home Gym Ideas for Small Spaces
This post is sponsored by Cost Plus World Market, which you know is one of my favorite places to shop! This post also contains affiliate links. Before having kids, we used one of the bedrooms in our house as a home gym. It wasn't very stylish, but it was certainly spacious. Fast forward a few years, and that exercise room became a kid's bedroom and we pared down our workout equipment and shoved it {quite literally} into the corner of the guest room. It's taken me nearly four years to finally ... View the Post
Dry Erase Memo Board + Free Laundry Symbols Printable Poster
When I redesigned our laundry closet, my goal was to not only make it pettier and better organized, but to also make it easier to ensure that our clothes always come out looking their best. I had seen lots of cute laundry symbols posters online, but what I really needed was a memo board to keep track of notes about special washing instructions... and I got the best of both worlds by creating my own. And now I'm giving it to you as a free printable, in your choice of colors! Laundry is ... View the Post
The Most Popular Organizing and Decorating Ideas
You've probably heard the saying that you have to look back to move forward. I think this is true on many levels, and it's how I always like to start the year. When it comes to the blog, I find it really helpful to look back at the most popular posts from the prior year to see which projects resonate with you - the readers - so that I can create more of the types of content you want. And on the personal side, as I plan my project priorities for the coming year, I like to reflect on the spaces ... View the Post
Modern Gallery Wall Idea: Photos with Rounded Corners
When you have a large space to fill, scale is key! We have a lot of high, skinny windows throughout our house, and figuring out how to fill the space below them has been one of my biggest design challenges. In the kitchen dining area, I left the wall blank for ten years because all the art I tried just looked dwarfed by the scale of the wall. Finally, I came across an inspiration photo of an office where an entire wall was filled with three rows of oversized, black and white photos and it ... View the Post

How to Make Old Wood Drawers Slide More Easily
It's been a while since I've shared a Five Minute Friday post, but this is a good one.

If you purchase something I recommend, you'll pay the same price, but I may receive a small commission. A couple of months ago, my mom mentioned to me an easy way to fix sticking wood drawers.

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

Be Prepared with a Winter Car Kit
I feel like the theme of this year has been finding simple solutions to problems we've been struggling with for far too long. You know - those solutions that make you say, if only I'd had this or done this years ago, I would have saved myself so much time or frustration. Today I'm talking about some of our former winter weather struggles, and how I've tackled them by creating an organized Winter Car Kit, complete with a major time-saver from sponsor FrostGuard®. Last fall, we finally got our ... View the Post
