THE most exciting thing about blogging is when someone reaches out to you and says that they were able to use an idea that you shared to create their own project! I received just such a Facebook message a few days ago from my cousin, Ali, and I loved what she did so much that I'm excited to share it with you today! Ali has elementary age twin boys, and she recently made some adorable name tags for her boys backpacks using the cover of my fabric and paint swatch kit as inspiration. For my ... View the Post
{featured} Back to School Kitchen Organization
The kitchen is the heart of our home, and it's also school command central! Both of my boys go to a year round preschool a couple of days a week, so we haven't yet experienced a true back to school season, but we have implemented a number of systems in our kitchen that keep us organized for school day in and day out! Today I am guest blogging over at Pretty Well Organized and sharing the details of each of these kitchen systems. From organizing school paperwork to packing school ... View the Post
{organizing with style} Roundup of Spray Paint Storage Solutions
Let's talk spray paint storage, shall we? Last fall I finally got all of our latex paint organized and created storage space for this paint, and our paint supplies, in our small basement utility room. I transferred our paint our of the rusting paint cans into screw-top plastic canisters, labeled the paint, and created a paint reference chart as well as a craft stick paint-deck. This organizational system has been working great for the past year, but because of the proximity of our ... View the Post
Adding Engraved Plates to Frames
We've all seen pretty engraved photo frames, but what if you have a frame that can't be engraved, or that you don't want to permanently alter? Simply add a sticky-backed engraved plate! When I was in college I studied abroad in Brisbane, Australia for six months and had the opportunity to travel all around the continent {and beyond}. Shortly after returning home I picked up a gorgeous blue 9-photo frame on clearance at Pottery Barn and filled it full of my favorite Australia photos to hang in ... View the Post
{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 ...

{decorating with style} From Awkward Inset to Floating Photo Shelves
When we purchased our home, one of my first decorating challenges was figuring out what to do with the 5 inch deep inset in the corner of our living room. I originally tried tucking a console table in the nook, but it just looked awkward. So I sat and stared at the space for a while until it hit me - floating photo shelves! Five inches really isn't deep enough for much - but it turns out to be the perfect depth for tabletop picture frames. A family friend installed the shelves ... View the Post

The Best Ways to Organize Under the Kitchen Sink
Organizing under the kitchen sink may be one of the most challenging spots in the entire house! Not only are you dealing with pipes, but in most cases also a garbage disposal. There is often little usable space, but so many purposes that this little space needs to serve. It took me nearly six years {wow, that's embarrassing}, but I have finally taken control of the space under our kitchen sink. It's not only organized, but I might even dare to call it pretty. We've been living with this new ... View the Post

There's a pretty cool Tour through Blogland happening right now, and last week I was invited to participate by Christy, the lovely lady behind Confessions of a Serial Do-It-Yourselfer.

But ... View the Post
Framing Up Some Fashion Inspiration for the Closet
A lot of home design/DIY bloggers also blog about their fashion. Not me! I like clothes as much as the next girl, but I'm definitely not a trend setter. I am just happy if I catch on to a trend before it's already "so last season." I tend to get into a rut and don't try new things when it comes to fashion, and this is especially true when it comes to scarves. Last summer I showed you how I turned cabinet pulls into scarf hangers. Getting my scarfs out of a drawer and hanging up where I can see ... View the Post
The New and Improved Denver Union Station and the Crawford Hotel
Although I am not currently practicing law {since I am staying home with my boys for a couple of years}, one my favorite parts of my job representing metropolitan districts was getting an inside look at some of the major development and redevelopment projects happening around Denver and throughout Colorado. Last spring, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to take a hard hat tour of Denver's Union Station mid-renovation {and, of course, I blogged all about it}. Ever since that time, I ...

{home tour} Modern Powder Room
The home tour continues, and this week I'm giving you peek into our main floor powder room. {You can also catch up on previous home tour posts} This half bathroom is located on our main floor, just off of our kitchen and around the corner from our entry. It's a small room, so I can't really show you photos from different angles, but I will show you the before and after, and then walk you through some of the details and the changes we've made to this little room. When we bought ... View the Post
