Did you guys have a chance to check out our newly organized coat closet? I'm still grinning from ear to ear about how it turned out, and as usual, I added a few different types of DIY labels to help keep it organized. Labeling is so important because it allows every person in the family to know where to find things, and makes it much easier to put things back in the right place. But labels are no good if they can't hold up to some wear and tear, and simple paper labels are not up to that ... View the Post

4 Tips for Organizing Bathroom Drawers
I organized our master bathroom drawers shortly after we moved into our house six years ago, and I must have done something right, because the drawers are just as organized today as they were on day one.

But somehow I managed to get our bathroom drawers right on the first try! Obviously, what's right for us won’t necessarily be right for you, but I can share a few ... View the Post

{organizing with style} My Makeup Drawer
Is your makeup a mess? It doesn't have to be! Today I'm sharing a few simple tips for keeping makeup organized in a drawer. STEP 1 - SORT & PURGE The first step to organizing any drawer is to empty it out completely. Once everything is out on the counter, begin sorting your makeup. The categories I selected were eyes, lips and face. Once I had my makeup sorted, I began to purge anything that was too old or that I just don't use anymore. I am never sure how long to keep ...

My First Time Using Chalk Paint – Challenges but Ultimate Success
Let me start by saying that I am no expert when it comes to painting furniture. In fact, that is an understatement! I had a bad experience back in law school when I cluelessly painted a cheap wood-laminate bookshelf using latex paint... the first coat went on ok, but when I tried to paint the second coat, each brush stroke just peeled up the paint from the first coat. It was a hot mess and I vowed that I would never paint furniture again! Fast forward ten years and I had gained a lot DIY ... View the Post
{seasonal style} Modern Peek-A-Boo Pumpkins
Today I want to share the easy tutorial for one of the projects that you saw in my Halloween Home Tour last Friday - my modern peek-a-boo Jack O'Lantern pumpkins! If you've been out shopping recently, you've probably noticed that these craft carving pumpkins are sold just about everywhere - from your local craft stores, to Home Depot, to Walmart - but the prices vary widely. I originally looked at some white craft pumpkins at Michaels and Hobby Lobby, but I just couldn't justify the $25+ ... View the Post
How to Choose the Perfect Gray Paint for YOUR Home
One of the most common requests I get from friends, family, and clients alike, is for help choosing the right shade of gray paint. Each and every time, I know they aren't going to like my answer, but I have to give it them, and to you straight... there's no one gray paint that looks good in every home! Despite a million blog posts out there claiming to have found the "perfect gray paint," the truth is that the perfect shade of gray for my home may be totally wrong in yours. And ... View the Post
{seasonal style} Mason Jar Jack OLanterns
Ok, folks, I'm finally jumping on board the mason jar band wagon! Over the last year or two, I've seen a lot of mason jar Jack O Lanterns on Pinterest, but they've all had black faces and the light has shown through translucent paint or paper covering the remainder of the jar. I love all of these, but wanted to do something a bit different - so I opted for an opaque paint on the jar with the light shining through the unpainted eyes, nose, and mouth. I decided to take a ...

Letter Photo Display for Mother’s Day
Sometimes projects don't turn out as well as you envision them in your head, but then every once in a while a project turns out even better than you pictured it - and man is that exciting! That was the case with the wood letter photo displays I created for Mother's Day. The best part of this project is that it can be so easily personalized, and it's also fun and easy to get the kids involved! To create a very special gift for my boys' Nana, I let them paint the letters ... View the Post
Remove Wine Bottle Labels Without Tearing or Damaging
Do you ever get on a kick where you find yourself pinning a whole bunch of ideas for one type of project? I recently started pinning ideas for craft and DIY projects to upcycle wine bottles. One thing that every one of these projects has in common is that you have to remove the label before you can get started. Fortunately I have a super fast and easy method to remove labels from wine bottles {or any glass jar for that matter} that is totally mess free and leaves the labels perfectly in tact in ...
