Last year when I finished painting the argyle wall in my son's room, I posted the full tutorial, and then buried down at the bottom, I shared my best tips and tricks for any painting project. Recently, I've received a handful of painting related question from readers, so I decided that my painting tips probably deserved a post all their own. So here you have it, all the painting wisdom I have picked up {largely through trial and error} over the course of many DIY projects! These tips and tricks ... View the Post

One-Stop Shopping Holiday Gift Guide
Thank you to Office Depot for sponsoring this post. When I was a kid, I counted down to the holidays and time seemed to move so slowly it felt like we'd never get to winter break. As an adult, between running a business and parenting, it feels like I blink and the holidays have come and gone. This year, I'm trying hard to slow down and simplify a bit so that I can really enjoy the season and create lots of memories with my own kids. It's easy to get overwhelmed by the holiday ...

Decorating On the Go with a Paint and Fabric Swatch Kit
There's no telling what I might find in my purse on any given day. With two young kiddos, you'll likely always find a couple of diapers, some fruit snacks, pouches of apple sauce, a pacifier, and maybe a stray sock or two. The musts include my wallet and phone, my makeup bag, and my mini-expanding filer full of coupons and gift cards. Until recently, you were also likely to find bent or torn paint samples and tiny, fraying fabric swatches buried in the depths of my purse. But no longer! ... 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.

Under Bathroom Sink Organization Ideas for Small Powder Room Cabinets
I like the style of the floating cabinet in our powder room, but it's very limited on actual storage space. I've had a hard time finding an under bathroom sink organizer that would fit around the pipes in this tiny cabinet. Over the years, I purchased a few options - but each time I broke my own cardinal rule and didn't measure first, so not surprisingly, none of them fit. As a result, the cabinet ended up looking like this for far too long... I know I'm not the only one with a very ... View the Post
How to Host a Stock the Kitchen Wedding Shower
A couple of months ago I had the honor of hosting a family wedding shower for my soon to be sister-in-law, Allie!

Years ago, my mom gifted me a recipe box filled with recipes from all of our friends and family! It is a prized possession of mine, and I wanted to do the same for Allie! I found a ... View the Post
