I know probably every parent feels like the first year flies by, but I really can't believe that Cooper is one. ONE! It seems like just yesterday that I was announcing his birth here on the blog, and showing you precious photos of Beckett meeting his new little brother for the very first time {those photos still bring tears to my eyes!}. A couple of weekends ago we invited all of our family, and our friends with kids near Cooper's age, to help us celebrate this milestone birthday with a ... View the Post

FAMILY ROOM RUGS These rug options tie in with the colors of the kitchen cabinets and couches, as well as the room's accent colors. I'd describe each of them as a "colorful neutral" ... and I think any of these could look good with the patterned armchair. Click on any rug below to be redirected to a shopping option.

Duct Tape Bottle Wrappers
This weekend we hosted a mustache bash to celebrate Cooper's first birthday! I'll share all of the photos from the celebration soon, but today I wanted to show you this super simple way to add some flair to any party...duct tape your beverages! I love to host parties and gatherings for our friends and family, but with so many gorgeous and over the top Pinterest parties out there for inspiration, it can sometimes feel overwhelming trying to decide how decorate and what to serve without letting ...

DIY Sheet Music Feature Wall + Free Printable Song Lyrics Posters
Remember that rock & roll themed playroom that I created for my boys in the former storage space under our basement stairs?! I hope you do, because it's one of my favorite spaces! We covered the ceiling in records, so when you stand at the door looking into the playroom, you see 45s as far as the eye can see - which is a pretty cool view {if I do say so myself}. But my favorite is actually the one you get if you walk into the playroom and look up above the door! That's where you see the ... View the Post
{five minute friday} Washi Tape iPad Cover
Happy Friday, friends! I almost skipped Five Minute Friday this week because I was in NYC all week scoping out new trends and finding style inspiration, and not at home working on projects. But as I was unpacking my bag I remembered that one of the exhibitors at NY Now {a trade show of the latest innovations in home decor} had given me a large roll of "interior masking tape," so I decided to use it to give my iPad a really quick makeover. The iPad that I often carry in my purse just ... View the Post
{featured} Liebster Award and Some Q&A About Me
I received a nice little surprise recently when I learned that Allie, the lovely blogger behind Cute Kid, Ugly House nominated me for a Liebster Award. Thanks so much, Allie!! Liebster, which means "dearest" in German {or so I'm told}, is an award that is passed from one blogger to another as a way to demonstrate appreciation for what we do. While some bloggers seem to be busy competing with one another trying to be the next big thing, it's nice to know that there are other bloggers out ... View the Post
Water Bottle Storage
Do you ever flinch as you open one of your kitchen cabinets because you expect something to come tumbling out at your face? That was me with the cabinet where we store our water bottles. Once upon a time, I had organized the cabinet using baskets. That worked well when my boys were using mostly sippy cups, but as we transitioned to water bottles that are bigger around that the sippy cups, they no longer fit in the baskets very well, and we ended up with a scary situation like this... I ... View the Post
Classy Halloween Party Decor
Happy Halloween everyone! I am very excited to be celebrating Halloween today by featuring a fantastic party that Scott and I (and Beckett) were fortunate to attend at this time last year. Our dear friends, Mark and Josh Lively, are the ultimate hosts, and last year they threw the classiest of Halloween affairs. Halloween is Mark's favorite holiday - and it shows! The party was so amazing that I felt it needed to be shared, so I interviewed Mark to get you all the details, along with some ... View the Post
{decorating with style} Client Master Bedroom: Design Plans
A while back I received a call from a college friend asking for help giving her master bedroom a new, more sophisticated look.

Today, I'm going to show you the design plans and alternatives I came up with, and talk through the design process a bit. Then next week, I'll ... View the Post
{link party} The Creative Circle – Week 11
Welcome to The Creative Circle link party - a place to share and find inspiration for your home! Does it feel like winter or spring in your neck of the woods? It was in the 70's yesterday, but this morning I woke up to a dusting of snow on the ground. I can't complain, because we can definitely use the moisture, but I was really loving the warm weather and the spring decor I'm seeing all over blogland is so cheerful and happy! In fact, my featured picks from last weeks party all feature one ... View the Post
Mood Board: Beach Bum Big Boy Room
I have so many ideas for Beckett's big boy room that I really don't know how we're going to decide which direction to go with it. The main goal is to put together a room that Beckett will enjoy now and for at least five years to come. Since we want this room to take him through early elementary school, if not longer, I am working hard to stay away from anything with too much of a toddler feel that he'll outgrow in just a couple of years {so while his current obsession is Elmo and all ...

{decorating with style} Client Master Bedroom: Before Photos & Inspiration
A while back I got a call from a college friend asking if I could help give her master bedroom a makeover. She had recently undergone knee surgery, and after spending a long period of time largely confined to bed {i.e., a lot of time staring at the four walls of her bedroom}, she had a long list of things about the room that weren't working for her. More than once her husband even came home to discover that she'd ripped down drapes or removed some other element of the room that she just ... View the Post
