Another week of the One Room Challenge has come and gone, and I'm definitely starting to feel the pressure, especially since I'll be out of town for five days next week traveling to and attending the SNAP blogging conference. I am so excited to be headed to SNAP for the first time and for the opportunity to catch up with some of by blogging girlfriends, and to make lots of new friends. But the timing of the conference - during week 4 of a 6 week design challenge - is, shall we say, less than ... View the Post
{decorating with style} Client Master Bedroom: Before Photos & Inspiration
A while back I got a call from a college friend asking if I could help give her master bedroom a makeover. She had recently undergone knee surgery, and after spending a long period of time largely confined to bed {i.e., a lot of time staring at the four walls of her bedroom}, she had a long list of things about the room that weren't working for her. More than once her husband even came home to discover that she'd ripped down drapes or removed some other element of the room that she just ... View the Post
Organizing & Storing Kids’ Artwork
Both of my boys go to preschool two days a week, and they do an art project every day. We also do a lot of art projects at home, so all the creativity was starting to pile up. I used to put all of the art in a basket in our entry way table, but I knew I needed a better long term solution. I have fun long term plans for documenting our boys' art work in books so that we don't have to keep every individual piece of paper. I want to make one book for their toddler/preschool years art, one for ... View the Post
{link party} The Creative Circle – Week 10
Welcome to The Creative Circle link party - a place to share and find inspiration for your home! How was your week, friends? I've been keeping busy working hard on my One Room Challenge project - the conversion of our under stair storage area into a playroom for our two boys. My week was spent shopping, but not at the typical places... I've been hitting up used music stores, plumbing supply aisles, and sheet metal fabricators. You can read my ORC Week 2 progress update here... but don't got ... View the Post
{one room challenge} Week 2 – You Spin Me Right Round, Baby Right Round…
Welcome to Week 2 of the One Room Challenge! I'm popping in with an update to show you what we've accomplished this week! But first, let me take a minute to catch you up on the plan. For this round of the ORC, I'm taking on the smallest room I've ever decorated - the former storage space under the stairs in our basement. We are converting this 12.5' x 3' space into a rockin' playroom for our boys. You can read in the Week 1 post why this project is so special to me. Here's the space ... View the Post
{gifts with style} Can’t Think of a Good Teacher Appreciation Gift? Now you CAN!
Teacher Appreciation Week always seems to sneak up on me and I'm always scrabbling at the last minute. If you feel the same way, then consider this your friendly public service announcement that it's just one month away - the week of May 4-8th. This year, I've vowed to be better prepared, and I'm already working a fun DIY gift for my boys to give to their teachers, which I'll share with all of you next week. But I realize that not everyone has the time or the desire to make homemade teacher ... View the Post

Pant Hangers to Display Kids’ Art
Today marks the conclusion of Boy Mom Madness, so it seems fitting that my Five Minute Friday project should also be for the boys. Beckett goes to preschool two days a week, and they do an art project every day. That's a lot of fabulous three-year old art that comes into our house! Right now I am keeping all of it in a bin, and I have ideas in mind for how I'll decide what the keep, and how to document it without saving every piece of paper. But those are stories for other days. Today, I'm ... View the Post

{one room challenge} Week 1 – Planning a Play Room Under the Stairs
Today marks the start of another One Room Challenge. Just one year ago, I heard about this event for the first time and about two hours later I threw my hat into the ring, committing to get Beckett's "big boy" bedroom completed in a mere six {really it's five} weeks time. It was CRAZY, but it got done and that made it all worth while! So worth while that I subjected myself to the craziness again in the fall when I redid our master bedroom for my second One Room Challenge. And just like that {a ... View the Post
DIY Play Tent With Roof Made From Upcycled Neckties
Boy Mom Madness continues, and today we are talking D.I.Y. for the B.O.Y. This is a topic I just love, and it's the perfect opportunity for me to share a tutorial that is almost a year overdue! When I designed my son Beckett's "big boy" room, I spent many weeks blogging about the DIY projects in the room {no less than 15 DIYs!}, until I feared that you must be getting sick of hearing about that room {because I was getting sick of writing about it}. I promised to return with the details of ... View the Post
