{organizing with style} My Makeup Drawer

Is your makeup a mess? It doesn't have to be! Today I'm sharing a few simple tips for keeping makeup organized in a drawer. STEP 1 - SORT & PURGE The first step to organizing any drawer is to empty it out completely. Once everything is out on the counter, begin sorting your makeup. The categories I selected were eyes, lips and face.  Once I had my makeup sorted, I began to purge anything that was too old or that I just don't use anymore. I am never sure how long to keep ...

Color Coded Nail Polish Drawer

With spring official here, I am itching for warmer weather - mostly because I love wearing sandals and flip flops! Although I don't paint my fingernails all that often (something I'd like to change) - I ALWAYS have my toenails painted and I can't wait to start sporting some spring colors! So to get ready for the warmer weather that will hopefully be headed our way soon {but not soon enough since the forecast calls for snow tomorrow}, I decided to organize all of my nail polish. I have a ... View the Post

How to Create Durable and Pretty Basket Labels

Did you guys have a chance to check out our newly organized coat closet? I'm still grinning from ear to ear about how it turned out, and as usual, I added a few different types of DIY labels to help keep it organized. Labeling is so important because it allows every person in the family to know where to find things, and makes it much easier to put things back in the right place. But labels are no good if they can't hold up to some wear and tear, and simple paper labels are not up to that ... View the Post

Five Step Quick Cleaning Routine

That moment when the phone rings with friends asking if they can stop by, and you look around the house wondering how much you can clean up in the next 30 minutes before they arrive. Please tell me I'm not the only one this has happened to?! I always do better when I have a plan, so I thought I'd embrace the idea of spring cleaning this year by coming up with a simple game plan that I can use throughout the year to whip the house into shape quickly. With young kids and a new puppy in the ... View the Post

How to Choose the Perfect Gray Paint for YOUR Home

One of the most common requests I get from friends, family, and clients alike, is for help choosing the right shade of gray paint. Each and every time, I know they aren't going to like my answer, but I have to give it them, and to you straight... there's no one gray paint that looks good in every home!  Despite a million blog posts out there claiming to have found the "perfect gray paint," the truth is that the perfect shade of gray for my home may be totally wrong in yours. And ... View the Post

You guys, I am doing my happy dance over here because I have a brand new coat closet! I have yet to put our coats in it, but it's installed and beautiful!

{shopping for style} NYC Design Showroom Inspiration

A lot of people's idea of a vacation is a tropical destination relaxing on a beach, but Scott and I are more wired for city lights.  So when we decided to take a Babymoon before the arrival of baby number two, we decided to head to one of our favorite places - New York City.  The trip was nonstop, including three Broadway shows in four days, art museums and sightseeing ... But I couldn't go to NYC and not take in some interior design inspiration.  In my last post, I ... View the Post

Glam IKEA Lack Hack with a Magazine Sling

Thank you to Rust-Oleum  for sponsoring this post. As always all opinions are my own. You can read my full disclosure statement here. If you've ever shopped at IKEA {or even if you haven't} you've probably seen the simple little side table they sell called the LACK. It costs a whopping $7.99, but it has SO much potential.  A couple of months ago a neighbor offered up a LACK side table that she didn't need any longer, and I knew it would be a perfect addition to the Drab ...

Brilliant Ways to Organize the Garage

Our garage used to be my dirty little secret. I would go out of my way to not let friends of family ever sneak a peek in there because it was so bad. SO bad. Like "no room to park two cars in a three car garage" bad!   Last fall we finally reclaimed our garage and I shared lots of pictures with you when we finished. Since then, I've gotten quite a few comments suggesting that the photos looked good because it was just a "staged" version of our garage, and that it wouldn't look that way once we ... View the Post
