When designing my boys' shared bedroom, I wanted to create a space that was stylish and fun, but also comfortable and functional! I added tons of storage for all their toys and books - low shelves that wrap the corner, a stylish cabinet on the other side of the room, and even hidden drawers in the bunk bed stairs. But with both boys in elementary school now, art and school papers were starting to pile up on every surface. Each week, the boys and I go through their papers to decide what is ... View the Post

I’ve Been Keeping a Secret… We’ve Been on Safari!
I've been keeping a big secret... While you were seeing my blog posts about fall decor for the last couple of weeks, I was traveling through South Africa! And now that we are home, I am so excited to finally tell you all about it! Two weeks ago, Scott and I set off for a week long safari, followed by several days spent exploring beautiful Cape Town! Since returning home on Saturday afternoon, we have barely scratched the surface of reviewing the thousands {and thousands} of photos ... View the Post
{five minute friday} Two Free Printables to Organize Your Holiday Shopping
How is your Christmas shopping going? Me, you ask? Well, I was starting to feel a bit overwhelmed, but as of last night I'm feeling much more on track. And I got there by following Santa's example... I made a list {two lists in fact} and I'll be checking them twice! My friend Melissa, of Polished Habitat, and I are both big list makers, so we teamed up to create two free printables to help us, and you, stay on track with our holiday shopping, spending, and wrapping.

How to Cover a Wall in Vinyl Records – Damage Free!
Feature walls can make a huge statement in any space, but they can also be a big commitment. However, with a little forethought and planning, it's possible to create a feature wall that can be easily removed - damage-free - when you're ready for a design update! Yes, even 135 records can be mounted on the ceiling or wall without a single nail, screw, or dab of glue! While a lot of kids these days may not even know what a record is, our kids probably think they are the latest and greatest ... View the Post
{decorating with style} Metallic Wine Bottle Vases for Fall
Are you a fan of the gold trend? I am still more of a silver girl at heart - and there is a lot of silver in my home - but I am trying to embrace the gold trend by incorporating some gold here and there. Both gold and copper make me think of autumn, so I've been having fun mixing metals in some of my fall decor projects, including these shiny, happy wine bottle vases. I recently purchased some peacock feathers and some cotton branches that I wanted to incorporate in to my fall ... View the Post
Organizing Kids’ Art Supplies with a Rolling Art Cart
Kids and art supplies seem to go hand. Whether they are flexing their creativity over the summer or completing their homework assignments for school, hardly a day goes by without one of my boys sitting at the kitchen table with crayons and markers. A few of years ago, I created an art cart to organize kids' art supplies in our kitchen, and this organizing project has definitely stood the test of time. This week, I’m joining 10 talented bloggers to help you get ready for the new school year. ... View the Post
Letter Photo Display for Mother’s Day
Sometimes projects don't turn out as well as you envision them in your head, but then every once in a while a project turns out even better than you pictured it - and man is that exciting! That was the case with the wood letter photo displays I created for Mother's Day. The best part of this project is that it can be so easily personalized, and it's also fun and easy to get the kids involved! To create a very special gift for my boys' Nana, I let them paint the letters ... View the Post
Charger Cord Organizer with Custom Icon Labels
Technology has become such an essential part of our every day lives that I feel like I'm totally drowning in cords, cables, and chargers lately! The kitchen is the heart of our home, and I typically wind up working at the kitchen table rather than my home office in order to be closer to the kids, so I was desperately in need of a charger cord organizer to contain and organize all of technology in this space. I finally came up with a phone charger organizer that is not only functional, but ... 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
Three Kitchen Themed Wedding Shower Games
On Tuesday I shared lots of photos of the Stock the Kitchen wedding shower that I hosted for my soon to be sister in law {really, really soon to be - the wedding is tomorrow}! I had so much fun planning this shower, and finding ways to tie the kitchen theme through every element of the party! From the invitations {with enclosed recipe cards for family members to fill out}, to the decorations {flowers in small kitchen appliances}, to the favors {mini wire whisks}, to the games.. . ...

Fun Ways to Encourage Kids to Read
My boys have toys, and toys, and more toys, but one of their favorite things has always been sitting down with a big pile of books. That makes me such a proud mom! I really hope that their early passion for books will turn into a life long love of reading, so I'm constantly looking for new ways to encourage them to continue reaching for books! I know that for some kids, books don't hold the same appeal, and, for some, they may even be a source of frustration. After talking with friends ... View the Post
Under Bathroom Sink Organization Ideas for Small Powder Room Cabinets
I like the style of the floating cabinet in our powder room, but it's very limited on actual storage space. I've had a hard time finding an under bathroom sink organizer that would fit around the pipes in this tiny cabinet. Over the years, I purchased a few options - but each time I broke my own cardinal rule and didn't measure first, so not surprisingly, none of them fit. As a result, the cabinet ended up looking like this for far too long... I know I'm not the only one with a very ... View the Post
