One week and counting to the end of the One Room Challenge and we're in the home stretch now. We've managed to check a lot more items off of the to do list since last week, but once again it's going to be a race to the finish. I'll continue to share our step-by-step progress in my Instagram Stories, but in today's update I'll show you the major projects we've accomplished and I'll review what we have left to do before we call the game room complete! Our Plans for the Ultimate Game ... View the Post

How to Store Jigsaw Puzzles In Less Space
If your family has a lot of puzzles, then you know how much space they take up on a shelf. For the past few years, I've been organizing our puzzles using an easy, space-saving method, and I decided it was time that I share my tip for how to store jigsaw puzzles. My kids have aged into more challenging puzzles, so we donated most of their "little kid" puzzles. They recently got quite a few new puzzles for Christmas and birthdays, so I decided it was the perfect time for me to show you my ... View the Post
How to Choose the Right Moving Glass Wall System For Your Home
Summer is in full swing and we are practically living in our backyard. I work out there in the mornings, the boys play all afternoon, then it's time for dinner on the patio, and we've even been reading the boys library books under the glow of our patio string lights before bed. I absolutely love the outdoor room we've created, but the one thing that would make it better transition between indoors and out. My dream is a wide open moving glass wall system that looks something like ... View the Post
{decorating with style} What is the One Room Challenge?
Welcome October! I love fall, though I am always sad to see the summer end. This year the summer was particularly busy - between attending my first ever Haven Conference in July, two family weddings in August, and a trip to South Africa in September. I was looking forward to life slowing down a bit this fall, but then I decided that slow is overrated... That's why I am once again joining the One Room Challenge, which means that in just six weeks time I'll be making over one room of our house, ... View the Post

How Lighting Affects Interior Design & How to Choose a Color Scheme
This post is sponsored by Babbleboxx on behalf of Soraa. Whether I'm designing a space for my own home or for a client, selecting colors is always where I start. Sometimes I find a piece of art or a rug that I love, and I build a decor color scheme around that, but more often, I begin by thinking about the mood I want to create in the space, and then I look for color palette inspiration. HOW LIGHTING AFFECTS INTERIOR DESIGN When choosing a color palette, it's important to keep in mind ... View the Post
Toy Storage Baskets With Grown Up Style
I was recently asked to define my home style in just three words, and my answer was Modern, Graphic & Family. Is "family" a style?! To me, having kids means incorporating them into every room of the house. But that doesn't mean that every space has to look like a playroom. Instead, it's all about finding ways to maintain your own personal style while still creating a home that's kid-friendly. To help you do just that, I've compiled a list of 12 of my favorite baskets perfect for ... View the Post
Pretty Painted Hangers
If you've been following along with my coat closet series, then you know that our brand new coat closet system was installed last week and I'm in the process of organizing all of our coats and winter gear. I believe strongly in the idea that making an organized space pretty motivates you to keep it organized, so I bet you won't be surprised to learn that I've also been working on some pretty DIY projects for the new coat closet - like these cheerful painted hangers. Wood hangers make ... View the Post
Rings Around South Africa
I can't believe it's already been three weeks since we returned from our trip to South Africa {if you missed it, I posted a quick trip overview the day after we got home}. I've been so busy working on the redesign of our master bedroom for the One Room Challenge {and designing rooms for two other people...fun projects that I'll tell you about soon} that we've barely started going through the thousands of photos we took on our safari and during our time in Cape Town. I can't wait to put ... View the Post
{family} Halloween 2014: Caps! Caps for Sale!
If you are of the Reading Rainbow generation {like me} then you're likely to recognize my kiddos Halloween costumes right away! And if not, then my two and a half year old would be happy to explain by reciting the entire book for you, word for word {as he tried to do on each and every porch where we trick or treated}! UPDATE: Get the full tutorial for the DIY details of this costume here! Caps for Sale, by Esphyr Slobodkina, was one of my favorite book as a child, and now it has become ... View the Post
Rings Around the World: Our Wedding Ring Selfie Photo Tradition
You know that list of "must have" wedding photos that most couples give to the photographer in advance of the big day? Things like the bride's mom helping her zip up her dress, the groom's expression as the bride walks down the aisle, the cutting of the cake, and a close up of the wedding bands. Yeah...we forgot to make a list like that. We planned every detail of the wedding to a T, but giving the photographer a list of photos didn't even cross our minds. Our photographer did a wonderful ... View the Post
Valentine’s Day Mini-Home Tour
I always dread taking down the Christmas decorations...not just because it's a whole lot less fun than putting them up, but also because the house always feels a bit uninspired when the festive decor comes down. I blame it on winter. It's cold and dreary outside, and it affects the mood inside as well. I never thought I'd decorate for holidays like Valentine's Day, but in the past couple of years I've discovered that this lovey-dovey holiday is actually perfect excuse to start bringing ...
