It seems like kids can find a way to make just about anything dangerous! Am I right?! Deciding what to child proof, and what not to, in your house is challenging, but the ultimate goal is to strike a good balance for your family somewhere between "bubble wrap all the things" and "fingers crossed they survive." Obviously baby proofing is no substitution for good parental supervision, but there are some dangers that are just too great to overlook. In our house - that danger is the ... View the Post
Dollar Store Storage with an Anthropologie Inspired Gold Basket
As you may recall, a few months ago I turned an old printer stand into a rolling bar cart - it was one of four furniture flips I did for my Drab to Fab feature at the Denver Home Show. I installed several wine glass racks below the painted "counter top," but still had space to fill on the shallow shelf next to the glasses. The goal was to complete my furniture makeovers on a tight budget, so I wanted to accessorize on the cheap as well. I immediately envisioned a gold wire ... View the Post
How to Make a Reusable Chalkboard Pennant Banner
I'm pretty good at a lot of artsy and craftsy things, but my sewing skills are very basic!

So today I'm excited to show you just how easy it is to make your own DIY pennant banner with reusable chalkboard fabric that you can write on and wipe off over and over to decorate for any special ...

The No-Sew Way to Reupholster Outdoor Cushions
'Out of sight, out of mind' is a real thing! Last fall, I had good intentions to get our outdoor cushions reupholstered so they'd be ready for this spring. But then we packed everything away, covered the furniture for the winter. I totally forgot about the cushions right up to the moment we uncovered them last month and I remembered that we couldn't use them in their current condition. I made a few phone calls and quickly learned that getting the cushions professionally reupholstered would ... View the Post
{gifts with style} Dad, I Wanted to Tell You…
"I need to call Dad to tell him something!" are words I hear many times each day. At ages 3 and 4.5, both of my sons are daddy's boys, and are eager to share with him every interesting tidbit of their days. We do call Dad at work from time to time so they can share a funny story or something they've just learned, but often times I have to disappoint the boys with a, "Daddy's really busy, maybe we can call him later." And when Dad is doing a show {he's also a professional actor} it's hard to ... View the Post
{Denver style} Mid Century Modern Architecture for a New Century
Like many cities, Denver has well preserved pockets of mid century modern homes built between 1935 and the mid-1950s, including Arapahoe Acres, the first mid-mod neighborhood to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. But if you think mid-mod is just a thing of the past, think again! A brand new Denver neighborhood is bringing an updated version of mid century modern to a new generation. Last month I shared a photo from one of these homes on Instagram. You guys loved it ... View the Post
14 Everyday Items That Can Be Repurposed as Flower Vases
Adding flowers to any room immediately brightens up the space {fresh or fake, I don't discriminate}. For even more interest, get creative with your vases. Rather than grabbing that clear glass vase from the top shelf of the cabinet, why not look around the house for some other items that can be repurposed to create unique and colorful vases to add an unexpected touch to your decor?! I like to add a lot of cheerful color to our home for spring and summer, and this year I created a simple ... View the Post
Squeeze Extra Storage Out of a Small Bathroom
It feels like too long since we've talked organizing around here. But that's about to change, starting today! You know by now that I'm all about balancing function and style. I love to make my spaces pretty, but they also need to be practical! This is why I've never been a big fan of pedestal sinks. They look pretty, but I find them to be so impractical. Where are you supposed to store anything? For years, this has been my dilemma in our basement bathroom. Where do I keep the extra toilet ... View the Post

Happy Memorial Day! I hope that you are enjoying the day with family and friends, and taking time to remember and reflect on those who have served our country.

An Easy Trick to Hide Lamp Cords
Yesterday I came across a photo slide show of the gorgeous DC home that the Obama's will be renting when the leave the White House. I was just sitting down to write this post when I got sidetracked looking at the photos of the stunning mansion in its glorious shades of white and gray, and I had to laugh when I got to the photo of the home's basement family room. For all its high-end style, my eye was immediately drawn to a bunch of cords under one of the tables. It truly is a universal ... View the Post
