I've been working hard on a fun project behind the scenes, and decided it was time to share a few details. I'm in the process of giving four pieces of thrift store furniture some seriously dramatic makeovers - and the finished pieces will be on display next month at the Denver Home Show for a feature called Drab to Fab! The Denver Home Show - and similar Home Shows around the country - is THE place to find innovate products, new ideas, practical advice and great deals in remodeling, home ... View the Post

One Room Challenge
You'll hear a lot of talk about the One Room Challenge™ {ORC} around here. Here is a look back at all nine of my past ORC projects, and at the bottom of this page you'll find answers to all of your questions about what the ORC is all about. WHAT IS THE ONE ROOM CHALLENGE™? The ORC is an awesome, twice annual blogging event. Each spring and fall, a large group of design bloggers come together to each completely makeover one room in a short five weeks (in 2021, ...

Rings Around South Africa
I can't believe it's already been three weeks since we returned from our trip to South Africa {if you missed it, I posted a quick trip overview the day after we got home}. I've been so busy working on the redesign of our master bedroom for the One Room Challenge {and designing rooms for two other people...fun projects that I'll tell you about soon} that we've barely started going through the thousands of photos we took on our safari and during our time in Cape Town. I can't wait to put ... View the Post
Planning Our Dining Room Facelift
If you've been reading the blog for a while now, then you've most likely heard a lot about the One Room Challenge - a twice annual blogging when a large group of design bloggers come together to each completely makeover one room in a short five weeks. I've participated in the ORC seven and half times. How do you participate half a time? I'm glad you asked! Back in the spring, I decided to makeover our kitchen dining area. I came up with a plan we loved but things started to fall apart quickly ... View the Post
{seasonal style} Falling Leaf Garland
The leaves have just started changing here in Denver, but up in the mountains it's a different story. I am hoping that this weekend we might have a chance to take a drive to the foothills to enjoy all the gorgeous colors of fall. While it will still be a while before the leaves start falling in our neighborhood, some colorful leaves are already falling inside are home thanks to a quick and easy fall leaf garland that I made for our kitchen window. If you've been reading my blog for a while, ... View the Post
How to Choose the Right Moving Glass Wall System For Your Home
Summer is in full swing and we are practically living in our backyard. I work out there in the mornings, the boys play all afternoon, then it's time for dinner on the patio, and we've even been reading the boys library books under the glow of our patio string lights before bed. I absolutely love the outdoor room we've created, but the one thing that would make it better transition between indoors and out. My dream is a wide open moving glass wall system that looks something like ... View the Post

Here We Go Again…Kitchen Edition
There hasn't been much happening on the blog the last few weeks (blame the new puppy!), but it's like with kids... when they are quiet you need to worry about what they're getting up to. And while it's been quiet on the blog I've come up with the crazy, last minute idea to jump into the One Room Challenge again this spring. If you've been reading the blog for a while now, you're probably pretty familiar with the One Room Challenge, which I've participated in a whopping seven times before ... View the Post
Behind the Scenes of My Better Homes & Gardens Photo Shoot
When I was in law school rushing home from my contracts class everyday so I wouldn't miss an episode of Trading Spaces, I could have never imagined that one day I'd see photos of me and my home spread across two pages of Better Homes & Gardens. Talk about a "pinch me" moment!! Last week, Blue i Style celebrated its fifth anniversary. When I started this blogging adventure, I was still practicing law full time, Beckett was only 14 month old, and I was 6 months pregnant with Cooper. ... View the Post
Framing Up Some Fashion Inspiration for the Closet
A lot of home design/DIY bloggers also blog about their fashion. Not me! I like clothes as much as the next girl, but I'm definitely not a trend setter. I am just happy if I catch on to a trend before it's already "so last season." I tend to get into a rut and don't try new things when it comes to fashion, and this is especially true when it comes to scarves. Last summer I showed you how I turned cabinet pulls into scarf hangers. Getting my scarfs out of a drawer and hanging up where I can see ... View the Post
