I'll warn you up front this story is a little long, but it's a heartwarming story perfect for Christmas and I hope you'll take a few minutes to read it... at the end I'll reward you with photos of a very pretty Christmas tree that I designed for some very special children! The old adage is true - it's always better to give than to receive! Which is why I was thrilled when I was presented the opportunity to participate in a blogging campaign that would allow me to give a free Christmas tree to ... View the Post

Kate Spade Inspired Bar Cart Accessories
Last month I turned an old printer stand into a trendy bar cart as part of the Drab to Fab furniture makeover series that I worked on in partnership with Rust-Oleum to be displayed at the Denver Home Show. But I quickly realized the bar cart just didn't look as cool as I envisioned when it was empty - it really needed to be staged with bottles are bar accessories at the Home Show in order for people to get the full picture. That meant I needed to come up with a few quick items to stage the cart ... View the Post
{travel} Labor Day Weekend in Breckenridge
I'm very much a city girl, so sometimes I am jealous of people who live on the East Coast with so many great cities within a short drive or train ride away. I'd love to be able to take a train to NYC or Boston for a weekend getaway. But then I look out the window at the Rocky Mountains and realize we don't have it so bad in Denver! Just an hour (or two or three) from our house we can be in any number of fantastic mountain towns... Vail, Steamboat Springs, Aspen... or ... View the Post
Quick Tips to Prep for Winter
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Lennox® for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. We are having quite the Indian Summer around here, but predictions are that we'll be seeing a snowier than normal winter.

For those of you that live in cold weather climates, today I've got five quick tips to help you get ready, too. BACK OF ... View the Post
Decorating On the Go with a Paint and Fabric Swatch Kit
There's no telling what I might find in my purse on any given day. With two young kiddos, you'll likely always find a couple of diapers, some fruit snacks, pouches of apple sauce, a pacifier, and maybe a stray sock or two. The musts include my wallet and phone, my makeup bag, and my mini-expanding filer full of coupons and gift cards. Until recently, you were also likely to find bent or torn paint samples and tiny, fraying fabric swatches buried in the depths of my purse. But no longer! ... View the Post
{style inspiration} How to Add Some Mid-Mod Style to Your Home
When I was a kid, my parents like to "go a for drive" - just an afternoon in the car driving and looking around. As a kid, I didn't get this at all. So we are just going to sit in the car all day? And look at stuff? Boring! But now as an adult I totally get it! One of Scott's and my favorite things to do is to drive around Denver neighborhoods {especially when the kids fall asleep in the car} and look at houses - big houses, small house, old, new... we just love seeing all the styles and ...

DIY Home Projects in Red, White, and Blue
Denver has been teasing us lately with a few tastes of spring like weather mixed in among the traditional cold and snow of March in Colorado. And with every spring flower I see starting to bloom, I'm itching for summer. Afternoons at the park with the kids, BBQs with friends, and warm nights on the patio. Since summer bookended by Memorial Day and Labor Day, with the 4th of July in the middle, I often associate summer with all things red, white, and blue. With that in mind, I've joined with ...

Early Summer Backyard Tour
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. I was invited to join a fab group of bloggers who are opening our doors {or gates} this week for summer home tours. A couple of months ago I showed you how I decorate indoors for spring and summer, so I thought that this was a perfect opportunity to show you some summer updates in our backyard. {You'll find links to all of the other ...

Boys Hangout Room Reveal
As a Christmas present for the boys, we updated Beckett's old bedroom into a playroom and hangout room where the boys can spend time relaxing, playing, and watching movies. We revealed this updated space to the boys on Christmas day, but throughout the past month I've been sharing the makeover process here on the blog as part of the New Year New Room challenge. Today I'm so excited to share all the photos of the updated hangout room! The other seven talented bloggers participating in the ... View the Post
Modern Rooftop Deck Makeover
Denver weather is unpredictable in the spring, so I knew it was risky to take on an outdoor project for the One Room Challenge. We've had snow no less than 3 times during the five weeks of this challenge, and rain and thunderstorms everyday this week leading up to reveal day. On Monday, I had resigned myself to the fact that I likely wouldn't be able to take photos of our new rooftop deck in time to meet the end ORC deadline. Fortunately, a brief break in the rain gave me the hour I needed ... View the Post
What You Get for Valentine’s Day When You’re Married to a Blogger…
I hope everyone had a fantastic Valentine's Day, or simply an enjoyable Saturday if Valentine's is not your jam! Scott and I were originally going to stay home with our boys, but after finding a last minute babysitter, we left the house with no real plans other than to spend a few kid-free hours together. It ended up being a crazy evening that finally culminated with us having dinner and exchanging gifts around 11 pm. When the babysitter arrived, we left the house with no clear destination. ...
