Happy Monday, everyone! There's a pretty cool Tour through Blogland happening right now, and last week I was invited to participate by Christy, the lovely lady behind Confessions of a Serial Do-It-Yourselfer. So today, instead of sharing a project with you, I'm going to be answering some questions to give you a bit of insight about my work and my creative process, and then I have the pleasure of introducing you to three other bloggers that I think you are going to love!

{diy with style} My Top 3 Energy Saving Tips + A HUGE CONTEST
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Lennox® for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. Our utility company recently started sending a monthly report that not only graphs our own energy usage against prior periods, it also illustrates how our usage compares to the average use in our neighborhood. I learned that our natural gas usage is below average compared to others in our area, but our electricity usage is slightly above average. Of course, this got me thinking about easy ways ...

Organized Car Kit for Families On the Go
I've had good intentions to get our car organized, well, pretty much forever! But month after month {and year after year} it always got passed up on my to do list. Ironically, the other things that kept me too busy to organize the car often resulted in me spending most of my time in the car running from one "to do" list item to the next. This summer, my husband {who is an actor as one of his two careers} has been performing at a theater in the mountain town of Breckenridge. In order to be with ... View the Post
Nautical Striped Jars
Happy Friday, friends! It's been rainy and dreary here for weeks now, but nonetheless I have summer on the brain. Today I wanted to share a simple, trash to treasure project, created by Aimee at The Crazy Craft Lady, that is perfect for summer decorating. I have a bit of a thing for blue {had you noticed?!}, I love a quick craft, and I appreciate a good upcycle, so these painted jars tick a lot of boxes for me! Aren't they adorable?! You won't believe what they started out as! ... View the Post

The Easiest Way to Deep Clean a BBQ Grill
Raise your hand if you're ready for summer grilling season. Me too! I'm so eager to get our patio ready for family dinners and entertaining friends. We've uncovered the patio furniture, we'll plant flowers and grasses in our pots and planter bench soon, and the BBQ grill needed a really thorough cleaning. This last one is a task I usually dread, but this year I found an easier method! We always use a wire brush to give the top of the grates a quick cleaning after each meal, while the BBQ ...

{decorating with style} A Colorful Embroidery Hoop Window Display
A few months ago, I was walking down the quaint street of shops and restaurants in the middle of my neighborhood when a colorful display in the window of a consignment clothing store caught my eye. I snapped a picture for Instagram, and then as I walked home I started thinking about how fun it would be to create a similar display in my own house. So I did... I love modern design, and lots of color! Our main floor is decorated in a cool color palette of gray and teal {two of my favorite ... View the Post
Affordable and Modern Gray Dining Chairs
I have a love/hate relationship with shopping for home decor. I love looking at ALL the options and I start designing a room around each in my mind. When I'm shopping to buy, and not just shopping for the the imaginary rooms that I dream up, it's usually pretty easy for me to zero in on the one. But when it turns out that the one is either out of my price range, or worse, is no longer available, I get pretty frustrated. There could be a million other options out there, but once I've found what I ... View the Post
DIY Home Projects in Red, White, and Blue
Denver has been teasing us lately with a few tastes of spring like weather mixed in among the traditional cold and snow of March in Colorado. And with every spring flower I see starting to bloom, I'm itching for summer. Afternoons at the park with the kids, BBQs with friends, and warm nights on the patio. Since summer bookended by Memorial Day and Labor Day, with the 4th of July in the middle, I often associate summer with all things red, white, and blue. With that in mind, I've joined with ...

How to Weatherproof Art for the Outdoors
When I shared some photos of our backyard in the spring, you may have noticed that I hung a large, canvas photo on the exterior wall of our white stucco garage. For years, I had been wanting something decorative for this space to break up the sea of stucco, but I had never been able to find any outdoor art that I really liked. So this year, I created my own weatherproof, outdoor art, and today I've got the super easy, five minute tutorial for you. Watch this quick video tutorial, and ... View the Post
