Thank you to Rust-Oleum for sponsoring this post. As always all opinions are my own. You can read my full disclosure statement here. A couple of weeks ago, I told you about the "drab to fab" furniture makeovers I am working on that will be on display at the Denver Home Show March 18-20th. And today I'm thrilled to share the first completed makeover with you ... a chic new look for a desk chair from the 1920s. I picked this chair up for $6 at Goodwill because it was the perfect ...

{organizing with style} Matching Spice Jars & Ombre Spice Racks In the Pantry
They say time flies when you are having fun, so I must be having a lot of fun organizing our home! I am slowly working to get caught up blogging about projects I completed last year, and, looking at the date stamps on the photos of the spice racks we installed in the pantry, I realize that I've been enjoying this beauty of a project for well over six months now! #badblogger But I'm a glass half full kind of girl, so I'll put a positive spin on my tardiness in sharing this project... ...

Easy Toddler Art for Valentine’s Day
Are you are looking for a fun Valentine's art project to do with the kids or grandkids this weekend? I'm excited to show you this easy technique that my boys just LOVE! And best of all, this art project only takes about five minutes to prep! I've done a number of paintings over the years using tape to mask certain areas {like the painting by the back door in our kitchen}, and it recently occurred to me that this would be a really fun way to help my boys create art!

{shopping for style} NYC Design Showroom Inspiration
A lot of people's idea of a vacation is a tropical destination relaxing on a beach, but Scott and I are more wired for city lights. So when we decided to take a Babymoon before the arrival of baby number two, we decided to head to one of our favorite places - New York City. The trip was nonstop, including three Broadway shows in four days, art museums and sightseeing ... But I couldn't go to NYC and not take in some interior design inspiration. In my last post, I ...

I've had my eye on the black metal ... View the Post
{DIY with style} Framing Canvas Art with Trim Molding
When I came across two canvas prints - Watching Over NYC and Watching Over LA by Zoey Riley - on final closeout at Z Gallerie a year or so ago {they are now back, but in a more expensive glass coat versions}, I immediately knew they would be a key element in the master bedroom refresh I had been dreaming of. The shades of blue were perfect to tie in with our existing blue duvet that I wanted to keep, and the skylines set the perfect mood for the Modern Metro vibe I wanted in ... View the Post
{diy with style} Making Space for Storage in a Small Utility Room
When we bought our house five years ago, the basement was already finished. On the upside, it's definitely a nice perk to have a fully finished space that greatly adds to the livable square footage of our house, however, on the downside, that means that there is almost no storage space in the basement.{Although the basement does have an elevator closet - "what's that?" you ask. You can read about one here}. Our utility room in the basement is very small, and thanks to some pipes running ... View the Post
DIY Alphabet Magnets that Actually Stick to Magnetic Primer
Yesterday I told you about the magnetic chalkboard wall that we created in our kitchen, and I gave you my not-so-glowing review of magnetic primer. While magnetic primer might not be strong enough for many uses, the only use I was specifically interested was allowing my boys to play with, and learn from, alphabet magnets. As I shared yesterday, I purchased some lightweight, plastic alphabet magnets from the toy store, but the magnets were not strong enough and they fell right to the ... View the Post

Mood Board: Planes, Trains and Automobiles
As you probably know by now, we are in the process of deciding how to decorate Beckett's big boy room. Last week I shared two mood boards with different design concepts for a room that Beckett can grow into at least through early elementary school. Click to see the mood boards for the Beach Bum Big Boy Room and the Vintage Preppy Little Man's Lounge. Today's mood board, which I call Planes, Trains & Automobiles, is a more traditional theme for a young boy. While I tend to ... View the Post
IKEA HACK: 20 Ways to Organize With an Ikea Shoe Cabinet
I don't think I've ever met anyone who said they have too much storage in their home. Quite the opposite! No matter the size of your home, I am willing to bet you have at least a few problem items that are a constant source of clutter or that you just can't find a good place to store. We recently bought an IKEA shoe cabinet to organize the piles of shoes that are constantly piling up in our kitchen. But after assembling the cabinet for our entry way, it occurred to me that it could also ... 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
