Happy Monday, everyone! There's a pretty cool Tour through Blogland happening right now, and last week I was invited to participate by Christy, the lovely lady behind Confessions of a Serial Do-It-Yourselfer. So today, instead of sharing a project with you, I'm going to be answering some questions to give you a bit of insight about my work and my creative process, and then I have the pleasure of introducing you to three other bloggers that I think you are going to love!

Basement Bathroom Makeover: Weeks 4, 5 & 6 {One Room Challenge}
Well, this is a first. It's week 6 of the One Room Challenge and we are JUST. GETTING. STARTED. I didn't post an update during weeks 4 or 5, because there were no updates. We dealt with a lot in October, including a death in the family, and the bathroom makeover just fell to the bottom of our to do list. Considering we're six weeks behind, I thought about just throwing in the towel. But I also really want this project done before the holidays {the new vanity has been sitting in a box in ...

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
Color-Dipped Letter Ornaments + More DIY Christmas Ornaments
Am I the only one who feels like unpacking the Christmas decorations is almost as good as opening presents on Christmas morning? It makes me so excited for all of the joy and magic of the season ahead! Maybe it's a sign that I have to many decorations, but each year I unpack a few decorations that I've completely forgotten about from the year before, and this time around one of those pleasant surprises was the set of color-dipped letter ornaments that I DIY'd for the skinny tree in our living ...

A Serving Bowl Becomes a Thanksgiving Turkey
You guys probably know by now how much I love coming up with creative ways to upcycle belts. I've used them to create hanging shelves, drawer pulls, basket labels, a closet organizer, and even wrapped a belt around a lampshade. But you'll never believe what I did with belts this time around... I used them to turn a plain serving dish into a Thanksgiving turkey! Seriously cute right?! I'll show you the just how easy it is to make your own turkey with belt tail feathers, and then at the ... View the Post
{One Room Challenge} Week 5 Update
Week 5 of the One Room Challenge has come and gone! That means that next week is THE week, and I don't know if I am more excited to share my room, or to see all of the other amazing rooms being completed by others. Ok, let's be real...what I am most excited about is finally getting some sleep! If you are new here, let me catch you up with a quick overview. In just six weeks time, I am completing a new bedroom for my two year old son, and the plan is a vintage preppy vibe with lots of ... View the Post
{one room challenge} Week 3 – The Storm Before the Calm
No matter how many big projects I work on - whether they be design, DIY, or organizing - I always have that moment of frustration where I look around at the mess I have created and wonder if it will ever all come together. And in the ongoing process of redesigning our master bedroom for the One Room Challenge, Week 3 was that moment. As I sit in the room writing that post, I can safely say we've hit the it gets worse before it gets better point. Although it doesn't yet show in ... View the Post
{worth a second look} Biggest Flops of 2015
It's fun and rewarding to look back at my most popular posts of the year, like the 10 most popular decorating, DIY, and organizing posts that I rounded up the last couple of days. But then there are those posts that I get really excited about, that I am really proud of, and expect to be popular, but turn out to be big fat flops! Yup, some of my favorite projects this year turned out not to be your favorites! Or maybe you just missed them the first time around? So this will go one of ... View the Post
Stylish Guest WiFi Password Signs
My number one priority for our guest room was creating a comfortable and relaxing space for our friends and family. But the reality is that our guests often need to get some work done and stay connected while they are visiting. In order to balance style and function and give our guests a work space, I chose a small, Parsons-style desk for one side of the bed instead of a traditional nightstand. Of course, providing guests a comfortable and convenient place to work is only half of the ... View the Post
First Birthday Mustache Bash!
I know probably every parent feels like the first year flies by, but I really can't believe that Cooper is one. ONE! It seems like just yesterday that I was announcing his birth here on the blog, and showing you precious photos of Beckett meeting his new little brother for the very first time {those photos still bring tears to my eyes!}. A couple of weekends ago we invited all of our family, and our friends with kids near Cooper's age, to help us celebrate this milestone birthday with a ... View the Post
{organizing with style} Pantry Door Bulletin Board
For years I've been in need of a bulletin board - a place to keep important papers, cards and invitations, and all those adorable baby announcements. I knew I wanted this bulletin board to be in my kitchen - somewhere that I would see it daily, and I finally found the perfect spot - the back of my pantry door! I love to use the inside of doors to maximize my storage space, and I considered a lot of other ways that I could utilize the pantry door to add more food storage. However, because ... View the Post
{gifts with style} Can’t Think of a Good Teacher Appreciation Gift? Now you CAN!
Teacher Appreciation Week always seems to sneak up on me and I'm always scrabbling at the last minute. If you feel the same way, then consider this your friendly public service announcement that it's just one month away - the week of May 4-8th. This year, I've vowed to be better prepared, and I'm already working a fun DIY gift for my boys to give to their teachers, which I'll share with all of you next week. But I realize that not everyone has the time or the desire to make homemade teacher ... View the Post
