It's week 4 of the One Room Challenge and I finally have some real progress to report! After waiting and waiting for stuff to arrive, we finally started moving stuff out of the nursery this week to make room for the new bunk beds. And just like that we've officially entered the "it get's worse before it get's better" phase of the ORC. If you don't know what I'm talking about, let me quickly bring you up to speed. We're transforming the nursery into a room for our 3 and 5 year old ... View the Post

{seasonal style} Spring Home Tour
Welcome friends! It's Spring Home Tour day, and I'm joining a super talented group of bloggers, hosted by Carrie from Lovely, Etc., to show you how we add brighten up our homes for the season. You'll find links to each and every tour at the end of this post, with inspiration for every style.

Christmas Crafting Made Easy at ConsumerCrafts.com
Ok, so you've seen that graphic making the rounds on Facebook that shows how women shop versus how men shop, right? Men go in the door, get the one thing they came for, and then leave. Women on the other hand go up and down every aisle {two, or three, or four times}. Yeah, that's definitely me in a craft store! I need to be able to browse, see allĀ of my options, and consider what items might work well together to create the perfect project. I put things in my cart and take them back out, ... View the Post

{style inspiration} Making Marsala Modern: Learning to Love the 2015 Pantone Color of the Year
I'll admit that when I first saw Pantone's pick for the 2015 Color of the Year, I was disappointed! My style is very modern and I tend to prefer cool colors for the majority of my home, with pops of brighter colors here and there. My first reaction was that Marsala and modern JUST. DON'T. MIX! In fact, I have had a Marsala colored chair and a pair of lamps in my home office for about 10 years, and for a while now I've been wanting to redo that room and reupholster the chair ...

Closet Doors & Paint – One Room Challenge: Week 4
The floor drama that I told you about last week took some extra time and slowed us down a bit, but we quickly got back on track and checked two more big items off of the home office to-do list. As a reminder- here's where we left off last week... When we first moved into our house, the home office (which is actually just a basement bedroom) had bypass / sliding closet doors. Here's a picture from move-in day back in 2008 when the room was still empty. In the fall of 2019, when I was ... View the Post
