Week 3 marks the middle of the One Room Challenge. YIKES! We've been making good progress, but I have a lot left that I need to do {and even more that I want to do} in the final three weeks. This is the point in the project where the to do list starts to feel a bit overwhelming, but these weekly ORC update posts are great at helping me to appreciate all that has been accomplished. To appreciate how far we've come, check out all the before photos and plans in the Week 1 and Week 2 One ... View the Post

Welcome to Week 2 of the One Room Challenge! I'm popping in with an update to show you what we've accomplished this week! But first, let me take a minute to catch you up on the plan.

In order to fully appreciate the progress we've made, let me remind you where we ... View the Post
{decorating with style} A Temporary Exercise Room
Five years ago when we moved out of our downtown loft and into a bigger house, we had more rooms than we knew what to do with. One bedroom became an office, one a guest room, I set up my easel for painting in one room, and still another bedroom we set up as an exercise room. But we knew that sooner or later we'd start a family and that some of these rooms would become bedrooms for our children. The room where I used to paint was the first to be converted - it ...

How to Remove Set-In Grease Stains from Laundry
Have I mentioned that I hate doing laundry? I HATE doing laundry! Even my pretty laundry closet can't make me like it. I tried, I really did!

I would wash and rewash my husband's shirts using different sprays and stain sticks, but the grease stains would still be there. Finally a friend of my mom recommended a solution ... and OMG, it worked! I don't post cleaning tips on the blog very ... View the Post

And of course, just like in all the projects I tackle in my own home, finding the right balance of style and ... View the Post

Now I'm excited to be back home and I'm ready to get to work on creating a creative and fun shared bedroom for my boys.
