I have a bad case of wanderlust and, anytime a map is near, you'll hear me muttering "I want to go to there!" in my best Liz Lemon voice. I love to travel, and this carries over to a love of maps and globes {you can read more about my map obsession here}. I hope to instill in my boys a similar curiosity about the world and desire to explore, and that's why I will be incorporating several globes into Beckett's new room. I purchased a lighted globe that will double as a nightlight, and I am ... View the Post
{One Room Challenge} Week 3 Update
As most of you know by now, I am taking part in the One Room Challenge as a link participant! And here we are already at week 3 of 6. I am feeling pretty good about what we've been able to get done to date {I say we, because Scott is a vital part of this challenge}, but we still have a long ways to go in order to get Beckett's new room completed in just three more weeks! Before I give you this week's update, here's a quick refresher. We are decorating a brand new, "big boy" room for ... View the Post
Framing Calendar Photos as Art
Have you met Menswear Dog? He's a four year old shiba inu living in New York City with a penchant for all things style. Bodhi's owners, David Jung and Yena Kim, are both designers that have fun dressing up their pup in mens' clothing, and their Tumblr has gone viral. In fact, Bodhi has found so much fame that he's on his way to having his very own canine fashion line. I first discovered Menswear Dog when I was searching the internet for inspiration for Beckett's menswear themed Vintage Preppy ... View the Post
{style inspiration} Want the Look for Less? Knock it Off!
You know the saying "you're eyes are bigger than your stomach"? Well, when it comes to my decorating wish list, often my eyes are bigger than my budget. And I know I'm not the only one! It's so easy to walk through a store or flip through a catalog and fall in love with an item that you just can't afford! A good shopper knows that with a little patience and perseverance, you can often find a similar item for a much better price. I've always been proud of my skills when it comes to bargain ...

{organizing with style} Creating a Mudroom in the Kitchen
I used to be so jealous of people who had a mudroom! That is, until we created our own little mudroom space right in our kitchen. And today I'm so excited to show it to you! Get ready, this is a photo heavy post because I just can't get enough of this space. But before we get to all of the pretty pictures, let me remind you where this all began. When we bought our house, we were a bit baffled by the five and a half feet of empty space in the corner of the kitchen. Our ... View the Post
{One Room Challenge} Week 2 – A Whole Lotta Painting Going On
For those who missed my announcement last week, I am a joining in the One Room Challenge as a link participant! That means that I have only 6 weeks to complete Beckett's big boy room... well, it's not six weeks anymore, because here we are already at week 2! Last week I shared all of my plans for the room, including the mood board and the long to do list, and this week I'm back to share a report on our progress. It's no exaggeration to say that the only thing I've been doing for the last week ... View the Post
{seasonal style} Dying Easter Eggs with Little Ones
As a general rule, I don't like to recycle content here on the blog, but with Easter just around the corner, I feel like an exception is warranted. Last year, despite Beckett being only 15 months old, I was really eager to help him decorate Easter eggs. I originally planned to just have him put some cute stickers on eggs, but then I happened upon a super inexpensive product at Target that promised a mess-free way to dye eggs, and I decided to give it a try. Beckett had so much fun using ... View the Post
Vintage Industrial Letters
I have a major thing for typography, so I can't get enough of letters and words in home decor. From the moment that we decided on the Vintage Preppy theme for Beckett's new room, I have had my eye on the Vintage Industrial Wall Letters from Restoration Hardware Baby & Child. My original thought was to spell out Beckett's entire name, but that would have cost me over $100, and I just wasn't willing to spend that much! As the plan for the room evolved, I decided that it might be better to ... View the Post
{One Room Challenge} Week 1 – I’m Giving Myself a Deadline!
I work best under a deadline. I always have. I wish it weren't true, but you have to work with what you've got, so I'm giving myself a deadline and saying that Beckett's new room will be complete in six weeks. Why six weeks? Because I'm joining the One Room Challenge! If you're not familiar with the One Room Challenge (ORC), it's an awesome blogging event hosted by Linda, from Calling it Home. There are twenty talented bloggers who are headlining the event by making over an entire room ... View the Post
{featured} I’m Sharing Tips for Organizing Toiletries
It's that time of month again when I share some of my favorite organizing projects over at Pretty Well Organized, and today the topic is toiletries. Scott and I are fortunate to have a large bank of six drawers in our master bathroom, which provides us plenty of space for organizing all of our smaller toiletries. I first organized these drawers when we moved into our home, and more than five years later the organizing system is still working well for us. That hardly ever happens! Normally ... View the Post
{featured} Liebster Award and Some Q&A About Me
I received a nice little surprise recently when I learned that Allie, the lovely blogger behind Cute Kid, Ugly House nominated me for a Liebster Award. Thanks so much, Allie!! Liebster, which means "dearest" in German {or so I'm told}, is an award that is passed from one blogger to another as a way to demonstrate appreciation for what we do. While some bloggers seem to be busy competing with one another trying to be the next big thing, it's nice to know that there are other bloggers out ... View the Post
{organizing with style} Planning a Kitchen Mudroom
Earlier this week I talked about all those funny quirks that each house has, and the ways that you find to fix them or live with them. Today I'm sharing the story of how we "fixed" one the quirky parts of our home - that big empty space in the corner of our kitchen. When we toured our house for the first time, before purchasing it, we couldn't help but wonder why the kitchen cabinets came to an abrupt end, leaving five and a half feet of unused space. On move-in day, we found the ... View the Post
