Remember that rock & roll themed playroom that I created for my boys in the former storage space under our basement stairs?! I hope you do, because it's one of my favorite spaces! We covered the ceiling in records, so when you stand at the door looking into the playroom, you see 45s as far as the eye can see - which is a pretty cool view {if I do say so myself}. But my favorite is actually the one you get if you walk into the playroom and look up above the door! That's where you see the ... View the Post

{link party} The Creative Circle – Week 31
Welcome to The Creative Circle link party - a place to share and find inspiration for your home! Kathy and I so appreciate you coming to party with us each week, and we love visiting your blogs to see your latest creations. Sometimes my favorite picks from the link party follow a theme - three projects that illustrate a similar concept. This week was not one of those weeks - or least I didn't think it was until I saw these three photos together...apparently circles are catching my eye ... View the Post
{blog conference} An Introvert’s Guide to Haven
It's already been over a week since I returned from Haven Conference, and it seems that everyone else in Blogland has posted their recaps, so I was struggling with what I could add that hadn't already been said about this awesome conference. But then as I was sitting around and chatting with the lovely ladies in my book club about our most recent read, "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking" by Susan Cain, and as they were asking me about my first ever blogging ...

Front Porch Halloween Decorations
The boys are four and five now, and if I could freeze time, I would. These are such fun ages, and I love how excited they get about everything - especially each holiday! For weeks, they've been begging me to decorate for Halloween. We always have quite a bit of holiday decor inside, but this year they also requested front porch Halloween decorations as well. Last year, I decorated the porch with some fun Dia de Los Muertos finds, but the boys really wanted a traditional Halloween porch ... View the Post
Dresser Drawer Organization
If I asked for a raise of hands from all of you with messy dresser drawers, I can just imagine hands shooting up from all corners of the internet! And mine would be raised right there with you... or at least it would have been until last week. Isn't funny how sometimes those messy spots that drive us crazy are so simple to fix? If only I had taken the five minutes to organize my dresser drawers years ago, I would have save so much time searching for what we need {not to mention the ... View the Post
Mustache Bash First Birthday Party Invitation
I'm sorry it's been so quiet on the blog this week! Things have been really busy around here, which is good news because it means I'll have a lot to share very soon. In the meantime, I thought I'd give you a little sneak peek of one of the projects that has been occupying my time... Cooper turns one tomorrow!! I really can't believe how fast this year has flown by, but it's so fun to see him turning into a little boy right before our eyes. He's talking more and more, getting closer to walking, ...

Duct Tape Bottle Wrappers
This weekend we hosted a mustache bash to celebrate Cooper's first birthday! I'll share all of the photos from the celebration soon, but today I wanted to show you this super simple way to add some flair to any party...duct tape your beverages! I love to host parties and gatherings for our friends and family, but with so many gorgeous and over the top Pinterest parties out there for inspiration, it can sometimes feel overwhelming trying to decide how decorate and what to serve without letting ...

The design of our guest room was inspired by the hotels we stayed at during our ... View the Post
Super Dad & His Super Boys
I hope everyone out there had a wonderful Father's Day celebrating all of the special men in your lives! I wanted to take a brief break from posting about projects to share a few photos from our Father's Day weekend and tell you why my husband is a true Super Dad! As I write, Scott is at his first day of a new job, and I couldn't be more proud of him. Not because it's a great job {which it is!}, but because of the reasons he went in search of this new job in the first place - to have more ... View the Post
Color-Dipped Letter Ornaments + More DIY Christmas Ornaments
Am I the only one who feels like unpacking the Christmas decorations is almost as good as opening presents on Christmas morning? It makes me so excited for all of the joy and magic of the season ahead! Maybe it's a sign that I have to many decorations, but each year I unpack a few decorations that I've completely forgotten about from the year before, and this time around one of those pleasant surprises was the set of color-dipped letter ornaments that I DIY'd for the skinny tree in our living ...
