I feel like the theme of this year has been finding simple solutions to problems we've been struggling with for far too long. You know - those solutions that make you say, if only I'd had this or done this years ago, I would have saved myself so much time or frustration. Today I'm talking about some of our former winter weather struggles, and how I've tackled them by creating an organized Winter Car Kit, complete with a major time-saver from sponsor FrostGuard®. Last fall, we finally got our ... View the Post

{diy with style} Let There be Porch Light
When it comes to our home, I obviously like to make things pretty, but two of our top priorities are always safety and cost-savings. Until recently, however, our front porch was a major fail in both of these areas! We are fortunate to have a small covered porch that shields our front door from the crazy Colorado weather, but the two outdoor lights on the front of the house (to either side of the porch) didn't provide any light near the front door. As a result, our porch was very dark at ... View the Post
Slowing Our Kitchen Roll
One of the things I love most about the One Room Challenge is that it gives me the motivation I need to start and finish a project in the short span of six weeks. I've participated in the ORC seven times before, and I've always managed to complete the makeover just in the nick of time without ever compromising on the design. In fact, participating in the ORC has always pushed me to go big and make bold design decisions, which exactly the way I like it. Over the course of the last few ... View the Post
{featured} Six Creative Ways to Organize and Decorate with Wedding Mementos
Today I am guest posting over at Pretty Well Organized on the topic of organizing memories. My husband and I will be celebrating our seventh anniversary this summer, but I still feel like our wedding was just yesterday, in part because we are surrounded by wonderful memories of that special day throughout our home. Like most people, I have hundreds thousands of photos of our wedding and the events that surrounded it, and I know that even just getting those photos into an album can seem a ... View the Post
Our Home Just Keeps Getting Smarter
Who says you can't teach an old home new tricks?! A few months ago, I told you all about our new Hive Home System, and how it allowed us to bring our decade old house into the smart home generation without any overly complicated updates or high upfront device costs. After living with our Hive smart home ecosystem throughout the summer and into the fall, we've continued to discover new ways that it can make our home a smarter, safer, and an even more fun place to live. I told you I'd keep you ... View the Post
150+ DIY Gift Ideas for Everyone On Your List
Phew! Halloween is over and I'm breathing a big mom sigh of relief that the last minute DIY costume details all turned out well. I don't know why I always put off the costume making to the last minute and create extra stress for myself. Will I never learn? This year my goal is to NOT do the same procrastinating when it comes to making DIY gifts for friends and family. Now is definitely the time to get started before the craziness of Thanksgiving dinners and Christmas parties takes over the ... View the Post
{style inspiration} From the Set of Melissa & Joey
My husband thinks I'm a little crazy, but when we watch TV, I'm often paying closer attention to the interior design details than I am to the storyline. And when I'm flipping channels and see a gorgeous room, I'll often stop and watch just to check out the details of the layout and furnishings. That was the case recently when I ended up watching an episode of Melissa & Joey for the first time all because I caught a glimpse of a to-die-for couch! via I've seen a lot of button tufted ...

Five Minute Friday!
TGIF! I have a big announcement today that I am very excited about! So without further ado, let me introduce you to a new weekly feature on the blog that I am calling Five Minute Friday! I am always working on big projects around our house, whether they be decorating a room or organizing an entire closet. At the same time, however, there are just as many little projects that get done while my kids are eating lunch or while I'm chatting on the phone, and often times I struggle with whether those ...

Gorgeous Christmas Mantel Ideas
Today I've teamed up with a fun group of bloggers to share some Christmas mantel inspiration, and mine is of the very non-traditional variety! While most of our house is decked out in teal, red, black, and white for the holidays, in our basement family room, I'm always dreaming of an orange and white Christmas! When I picked the orange and gray color scheme for the basement, it was pre-kids, and we never decorated for Christmas down there. But once the kids came along, the basement family ... View the Post
Rooftop Retreat: Week 1
Over the past decade, we've made a lot of changes to our backyard and it's become a really great space for entertaining and play... but we have another outdoor space - a rooftop deck - that we've been completely ignoring. When we first bought our home, I was so excited about the roof deck. I envisioned Scott and I spending our summer evenings out there entertaining friends and enjoying the mountain views. Fast forward eleven years and two kids, and that deck has become nothing ... View the Post
Rooftop Retreat: Week 2
Last week I showed you our rooftop deck. The one that's basically been abandoned for the better part of a decade. And this week, I'm excited to show you what I have planned to turn this space into a rooftop retreat that our whole family can enjoy! About a decade ago, we bought a couple of lounge chairs for the deck... but other than posing for this photo, we never really used them. It turns out, we're not really lounge chair people. And especially now that we have kids, we need a more ... View the Post
{diy with style} Leather Belt Drawer Pulls
Last week I told you all about my first experience using chalk paint, and how I finally achieved the smooth finish I wanted for the dresser drawers in Beckett's new room, and now I'm here to share the second half the dresser drawer story - how we created custom drawer pulls from inexpensive belts. A few months ago I was browsing furniture stores {a favorite pastime} and came across the gorgeous Tremont Dresser at Arhaus. I immediately fell in love with the leather drawer ... View the Post
