If you've been reading the blog for a while now, then you've most likely heard a lot about the One Room Challenge - a twice annual blogging when a large group of design bloggers come together to each completely makeover one room in a short five weeks. I've participated in the ORC seven and half times. How do you participate half a time? I'm glad you asked! Back in the spring, I decided to makeover our kitchen dining area. I came up with a plan we loved but things started to fall apart quickly ... View the Post

{planning} What Got Done in 2015, What Didn’t, and What’s On the List for 2016
By now you probably know that I'm a big list maker. Not only do lists help me remember what I want/need to get done, there is also something so satisfying about checking items off a list! In fact, when I finish a task that's not on my list, I've been known to add it to the list just so I can check it off. Early in January of 2015, I shared a very ambitious list of projects I wanted to tackle during the year. Not surprisingly, I didn't come close to crossing off each item, but I also ... View the Post
Here We Go Again…Kitchen Edition
There hasn't been much happening on the blog the last few weeks (blame the new puppy!), but it's like with kids... when they are quiet you need to worry about what they're getting up to. And while it's been quiet on the blog I've come up with the crazy, last minute idea to jump into the One Room Challenge again this spring. If you've been reading the blog for a while now, you're probably pretty familiar with the One Room Challenge, which I've participated in a whopping seven times before ... View the Post
A Simple, Modern Painting Tutorial
Growing up, I didn't have a middle name, so I used to beg my parents to make my middle name "Artist." Angela Artist would have had a nice ring to it, don't you think? Fortunately my parents thought better of it, and instead of making it a legal name change, they got me a set of pencils with that name engraved on them. I still have those pencils, and I still love to paint and draw! When I was starting to decorate for my spring home tour, the sideboard at the end of the kitchen table felt ... View the Post
{swap it like it’s hot} From Thrift Store to Champagne & Diamonds
Are your ready to Swap It Like It's Hot?! Here's how it works... bloggers sign up on a list, and then each goes shopping at local thrift stores to purchase one or several items {with a max budget of $10-15} to mail to the person below them on the list {that's the SWAP part}. Each blogger is then challenged to come up with creative ways to repurpose whatever treasures she receives in the mail {that's the HOT part}. This slightly crazy but super fun, twice-annual event is hosted by ... View the Post
{welcome} Here We Go…
Growing up, I was always happiest sitting at the table with crayons or pencils - so much so that, because I didn't have a middle name, I spent a great deal of effort trying to convince my parents to legally change my name to "Angela Artist." Fortunately my parents suggested I wait until I was older to make that decision (by then, of course, I had changed my mind), but they did get me a set of personalized pencils emblazoned with my unofficial "full" name. As a teenager, I spent hours ... View the Post

Making the Kids’ Room Safer and More Fun With Onelink Safe & Sound
Thank you First Alert Onelink for sponsoring this post. Onelink Safe & Sound - Meet Your Family’s New Best Friend. #ONELINKSTORY Last summer, we started adding some smart home features to our house, including keyless locks, light bulbs we can control with our phones, and even a smart garage door opener. I love the convenience each of these adds to our lives, but more than that, I love the ways in which they make our home a safer place for our family. Recently we added one more smart home ...

Organized Garage Makeover
I have dreaded cleaning and organizing our garage for years now. And I honestly never thought I'd tackle it for the One Room Challenge because I couldn't imagine how I could turn raw studs and concrete into a photo worthy space. But the garage had gotten so out of hand that I had no choice but to finally do something. Since I work best under a deadline, the ORC seemed to offer me the best hope of starting and finishing the project, and the motivation to do it as well as ... View the Post
{decorating with style} Client Master Bedroom: Design Plans
A while back I received a call from a college friend asking for help giving her master bedroom a new, more sophisticated look. You can read the full back story in last week's post, where you'll find all of the before pictures of the room as well as some gorgeous inspiration photos that the couple found on Houzz to show me the style they were after. Today, I'm going to show you the design plans and alternatives I came up with, and talk through the design process a bit. Then next week, I'll ... View the Post
{travel} 13 Tips for Traveling with an Infant for the First Time
A few weeks ago we flew to Tucson for a family wedding. This was our first time flying with Cooper, and he handled it like a champ! We flew with Beckett for the first time when he was about two months old, and had a successful flight with him as well, but we did learn a few lessons from that trip that made traveling with four month old Cooper even more stress-free. Having taken two successful first plane trips with each of our boys by no means makes me a travel expert, but nonetheless I thought ... View the Post
{decorating with style} Client Family Room Makeover Plans
This post is sponsored by Carpet One Floor & Home® I've been working on a few different clients projects lately - some decor and some organization - and I'm having the time of my life. I just love helping someone take a room or closet that isn't working well for them and transforming it into a space that they can be proud of and that improves the way they live in their home. And of course, just like in all the projects I tackle in my own home, finding the right balance of style and ... View the Post
