If you follow me on Instagram, you have seen glimpses of our newly wallpapered powder room. My goal last week was to finish styling this space so I could transition to other projects in good conscience. On any given day, my mind entertains a myriad of creative ideas and beckons me to numerous ...
Room Makeovers
Cheap Bookshelves Hack
After typing this post title, I googled the definition of "hack" and found everything from "an untalented professional" to "a cough" to "an unlicensed taxicab driver."

A High School Graduate and a Bedroom
Two weeks ago I knew I needed to write this post. For one, I've been wanting to show photos of our oldest son's recent room refresh, and Two, I know I'm not the only one nurturing and training up a child who doesn't quite fit "the mold." As our oldest son's high school graduation draws ...

A Studio for Mom ~ Part 1
After shuffling three children out the door at three different times this morning, I spent 30-45 minutes walking through the house finally putting things away from last weekend. Take down the birthday banner? Check. Put away string, scotch tape and push pins used to hang banner (stuffed ...
Painting Kitchen Cabinets: More Details
One of the most daunting projects on my Sixteen Days of Getting my House in Order was painting the kitchen cabinets. I finished this week-long project early to mid October, so we've been living with white cabinetry for six weeks now. My overall six-week-in evaluation? I cannot believe the ...
