Having a fully finished basement adds a lot of livable square footage to our house, but it also means that there's almost no storage space. But you know I love a good challenge, so we worked our magic and managed to squeeze in some much needed utility room shelving and organized every available inch of space. HOW TO ADD SHELVING TO A SMALL UTILITY ROOM Utility rooms generally aren't the most storage friendly spaces, and the pipes running floor to ceiling in the middle of ours made it ... View the Post

How to Create Durable and Pretty Basket Labels
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

{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 ...

Fun Ways to Encourage Kids to Read
My boys have toys, and toys, and more toys, but one of their favorite things has always been sitting down with a big pile of books. That makes me such a proud mom! I really hope that their early passion for books will turn into a life long love of reading, so I'm constantly looking for new ways to encourage them to continue reaching for books! I know that for some kids, books don't hold the same appeal, and, for some, they may even be a source of frustration. After talking with friends ... View the Post
{annual report} What Got Done in 2016, What Didn’t, and What’s On the List for 2017
I'm not the best at formal goal setting, but I am a big list maker. Ever since we moved into our current home {8 years ago}, Scott and I have had a running list of household projects we want to tackle. It's a long and daunting list, but looking over it helps us determine what we want to save and budget for. A couple of years ago, we decided to break down our massive, long term list, and start mapping out priorities one year at a time. And I thought, why not document it on the blog to hold ...

Candle Storage Ideas
Until recently, I'd never given much thought to how to store candles. Years ago I haphazardly stuck all of our candles into a couple of lidded boxes and put them on the shelves in our entry table. It worked ok... for a while, but eventually I had to admit that I needed to come up with a better candle storage idea. I like to make simple changes to our decor for each season and holiday, so I have quite a few pillar candles, tapers, votives, and tea lights in various colors. Over the years, as I ... View the Post

{five minute friday} Pillow Talk: My Seasonal Pillow Swap
Swapping pillows can be one of the easiest ways to change up your decor! Whether you're just craving a new style, or wanting to add some seasonal decor, a quick change of the pillows on your couch and chairs can have a big impact! I usually wait until after Labor Day to start adding fall decor to the main floor of my house, but last night, after the kids went to bed, I was feeling motivated, so I went for it! I spent about an hour putting away some of our more summery decor and bring in some ... View the Post
{seasonal style} 10 Non-Traditional Fall Color Palettes For Every Home
I love autumn - sweaters and jackets, crisp air, farmers markets and pumpkin patches, and of course, fall leaves! But in Denver, the season never lasts as long as I want it to. It seems like just as the leaves are changing we get an early snow and the branches are stripped bare. This year I've decided to make the most of autumn in Denver by bringing the season inside, as well. In the past, I haven't really decorated for fall. When I was growing up, my mom always talked about wanting a ... View the Post
