Today I'm skipping my normal Five Minute Friday, and departing from my typical DIY and decor talk, to share something really fun with you guys in honor of Shark Week! Last fall, Scott and I took an incredible two week trip to South Africa. When we returned, I promised you some reports on that trip, but we are still working our way through the many thousands of photos we took on the trip so those reports have been very slow coming. But since this week is Shark Week on The Discovery Channel, it ... View the Post

{seasonal style} My Modern Glam Christmas Decor Wish List
I usually wait until Thanksgiving to decorate for Christmas, but I start planning, scheming, and dreaming long before that! I am sure that I'm not the only one who walks around stores snapping pictures on my phone to create a photographic "wish list." Right?! Well, Hobby Lobby recently invited me to come and check out all of their new Christmas decor, and now my phone is full of photos of modern glam gold and white decor that I'm coveting. This is a sponsored conversation written by me on ... View the Post
{seasonal style} Beautifully Kid-Friendly Christmas Decor
Have you started decorating for Christmas yet? We put up our Christmas tree last night, with the help of our two young boys, and as we did so, I was reminded of the blog post I wrote a couple of years ago about how to keep Christmas decorations baby and kid-safe without sacrificing style. I know a lot of moms and dads feel hesitant to decorate for Christmas when they have very young kids in the house, both out of concern for the safety of those little ones, and for fear of sentimental items ...

{family} Merry Christmas from My Family to Yours
Since I couldn't mail a Christmas card to every reader (though I would like to), I thought I would share our card virtually! Happy Merry 2014! The Rathbuns - Scott, Angela, Beckett & Cooper In September, Scott and Angela spent two weeks in South Africa on safari with the Big Five, wine tasting in Cape Town, and diving with Great Whites. The boys had their own safari in Denver, spending lots of time with their grandparents. A great time was had by all, and we can't wait to take the ... View the Post
Five Minute Laundry Closet Organizing Hacks
If you have a washer and dryer in a closet, rather than a more spacious laundry room, then you know that it can be hard to organize this space to fit everything you need. A while back, I gave my laundry closet a major makeover, and while some of the big DIY projects are the first to catch you eye - like the green cabinets above the washer and dryer - this space is actually full of quick and easy organizing hacks that you can complete in about five minutes each. This post contains some ... View the Post
{decorating with style} Greek Island Honeymoon Inspired Guest Room
It's honeymoon week on the blog! Six years ago this week Scott and I were basking in the sun of the Greek Isles on our honeymoon. On Tuesday I shared some of our photos from the islands of Mykonos and Santorini, and I told you all about the amazing Mykonos Grace Hotel. Today I'm really excited to show you our guest room, and to give you the details on how our honeymoon, and that hotel in specific, inspired the design of the room. If you took a look at ...

{gifts with style} Double-Sided Framed Wedding Invitation
If you checked out yesterday's blog post, then you know that it's wedding anniversary week here at my house, and in honor of our sixth anniversary I'm sharing some of the ways that I've turned our wedding memories into décor that we can enjoy in our home on a daily basis. Today's post is a pretty simple idea, but one that I'm proud of nonetheless because it took me six years to finally accomplishing it. I framed our wedding invitation. I know, I know... ...

Pops of Color on the Front Porch
I hope everyone is enjoying the summer! After a spring filled with opposite extremes here in Denver - gorgeous blue skies and warm weather one day, snow the next - we finally found time in late May, right before baby Cooper arrived, to do a bit of sprucing up on our front porch. While there is never a shortage of color inside my house - our front porch has been lacking color ever since we moved in. I love the stone on our house, but the ... View the Post
{Denver style} Mid Century Modern Architecture for a New Century
Like many cities, Denver has well preserved pockets of mid century modern homes built between 1935 and the mid-1950s, including Arapahoe Acres, the first mid-mod neighborhood to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. But if you think mid-mod is just a thing of the past, think again! A brand new Denver neighborhood is bringing an updated version of mid century modern to a new generation. Last month I shared a photo from one of these homes on Instagram. You guys loved it ... View the Post
Early Summer Backyard Tour
Happy Memorial Day! I hope that you are enjoying the day with family and friends, and taking time to remember and reflect on those who have served our country. I was invited to join a fab group of bloggers who are opening our doors {or gates} this week for summer home tours. A couple of months ago I showed you how I decorate indoors for spring and summer, so I thought that this was a perfect opportunity to show you some summer updates in our backyard. {You'll find links to all of the other ...

{decorating with style} Designing a Gender Neutral Nursery
Long before I was ever pregnant with our son, Beckett, I started imagining how I would someday want to decorate a nursery. Scott and I had already made the decision that we would want the baby’s sex to be a surprise, so that meant a gender neutral nursery would be in order. Many family and friends acquainted with my Type A personality seemed surprised that I wouldn’t want to know the whether we were having a boy or a girl so that I could plan accordingly. I had a different ... View the Post
Backpacks For a Cause with Cricut
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cricut. All opinions are 100% mine. With everything going on in the world lately, I am more grateful than ever for our home where my family feels comfortable, safe, and secure. But imagine what it's like for a child where home doesn't provide that same sense of security. There are approximately 400,000 children in Foster Care nationwide, and for most children, their entry into the Foster Care system is an emergency situation resulting ... View the Post
