I'm sorry it's been so quiet on the blog this week! Things have been really busy around here, which is good news because it means I'll have a lot to share very soon.

{featured} Six Creative Ways to Organize and Decorate with Wedding Mementos
Today I am guest posting over at Pretty Well Organized on the topic of organizing memories.

Like most people, I have hundreds thousands of photos of our wedding and the events that surrounded it, and I know that even just getting those photos into an album can seem a ... View the Post
How to Add Legs to an Ikea Bookshelf
It seems like just about everyone I know has an Ikea Expedit bookshelf {or it's new replacement the Kallax} somewhere in their home. These bookshelves are very basic, which makes them very versatile! The price is low, but the possibilities are endless! I've seen them used {very stylishly} as dining room banquet seating, entertainment stands, room dividers, office storage, playroom storage benches, changing tables, laundry room storage, and bar/buffet storage, just to name a few. We bought ... View the Post
{diy with style} Let There be Porch Light
When it comes to our home, I obviously like to make things pretty, but two of our top priorities are always safety and cost-savings. Until recently, however, our front porch was a major fail in both of these areas! We are fortunate to have a small covered porch that shields our front door from the crazy Colorado weather, but the two outdoor lights on the front of the house (to either side of the porch) didn't provide any light near the front door. As a result, our porch was very dark at ... View the Post
DIY Belted Lampshade
After having so much fun drawing inspiration from menswear when decorating Beckett's new "big boy" bedroom, from the argyle wall and the houndstooth rug, to the neckties on the play tent and the belt wall shelves and drawer pulls, I hit a road block when it came to the lampshade. I thought about covering a shade with a suiting fabric - like pinstripes or herringbone, but I was afraid a pattern would be too busy when with paired with all of the various art above the dresser. I finally ... View the Post

TODAY IS THE DAY! The day that I get to reveal Beckett's new big boy room! I said back in Week 1 that I work best under a deadline, and is that ever true.
