I just love receiving a mailbox full of catalogs to peruse - and while I don't have any problem shopping from catalogs or online, there is still nothing like the tactile experience of being in an actual store where you can touch and feel and sit on. In recent years, more and more of the stores that I had previously known only through catalogs have made their way to Denver, including Ikea, West Elm, and most recently Flor. One of my favorite catalogs, however, remains CB2, and there ... View the Post

{decorating with style} Tutorial for Painting Perfect Ombre Wall Stripes
As I told you in my first nursery blog post, I decided to go bold and paint our nursery with ombre inspired stripes that graduate in color - from dark at the floor, to light at the ceiling - so that in the end, the effect would be similar to that of a paint sample strip. Click here to read about our color selection process. These were the five Benjamin Moore colors we ended up selecting (which may appear different depending on your screen settings). For those who love the ... View the Post
An Easy Trick to Hide Lamp Cords
Yesterday I came across a photo slide show of the gorgeous DC home that the Obama's will be renting when the leave the White House. I was just sitting down to write this post when I got sidetracked looking at the photos of the stunning mansion in its glorious shades of white and gray, and I had to laugh when I got to the photo of the home's basement family room. For all its high-end style, my eye was immediately drawn to a bunch of cords under one of the tables. It truly is a universal ... View the Post
What You Get for Valentine’s Day When You’re Married to a Blogger…
I hope everyone had a fantastic Valentine's Day, or simply an enjoyable Saturday if Valentine's is not your jam! Scott and I were originally going to stay home with our boys, but after finding a last minute babysitter, we left the house with no real plans other than to spend a few kid-free hours together. It ended up being a crazy evening that finally culminated with us having dinner and exchanging gifts around 11 pm. When the babysitter arrived, we left the house with no clear destination. ...

{decorating with style} Wood Stairs… Would You?
For the past eight years, we've been hard at work transforming our home to reflect our love of all things modern, graphic, and colorful. We have successfully banished the beige from every room of our home. But the hallways and staircases are a very different story. Our house is tall and skinny, spread over four floors with three very long flights of stairs, and each staircase is a sea of beige! The walls take on a yellow cast thanks to the amber colored light fixtures in each ... View the Post

{seasonal style} A Little Halloween Spookiness
When I was a kid, my mom always decorated our house for every holiday, and it was so much fun! But as an adult, I found that the only holiday I really took the time to decorate for was Christmas - and even then I would only put out about half of my decorations. But now that I have kids, I am going to make a much more concerted effort to decorate for the major holidays to help them, and me, get into the spirit! I decided to start with one room of the house for Halloween - baby steps! ... View the Post
A License Plate Map On a Budget
It's been months since I shared with you the mood boards for three different room designs we were considering for Beckett's big boy room. It was a tough choice, but we ended up deciding on the Vintage Preppy Little Man's Lounge design concept, which will include lots of details inspired by menswear. But even though we didn't end up choosing the Planes, Trains & Automobiles themed room concept, I do plan to incorporate a lot of details of that design plan into his Vintage Preppy room. ...

Organized Garage Makeover
I have dreaded cleaning and organizing our garage for years now. And I honestly never thought I'd tackle it for the One Room Challenge because I couldn't imagine how I could turn raw studs and concrete into a photo worthy space. But the garage had gotten so out of hand that I had no choice but to finally do something. Since I work best under a deadline, the ORC seemed to offer me the best hope of starting and finishing the project, and the motivation to do it as well as ... View the Post
{organizing with style} An Organized Holiday Shopping List Using Google Drive
My name is Angela, and I'm addicted to making lists! There I said it. The first step is admitting you have a problem, right? Ok, so maybe list making is not really a huge problem, but they way I typically go about it is problematic. I have a tendency to grab a notepad and make my list and put it in my purse where it promptly gets wrinkled and eventually lost. I don't know about you, but I get about a million catalogs in the mail, and they seem to double around the holidays. ... View the Post
