Creating an organized and pretty, happy home is what this blog is all about, and I firmly believe that those things all naturally go hand in hand. Certainly organization should be practical and functional, first and foremost, but there is no reason that your organized spaces can't also be pretty and make you smile! My friend Melissa, from A Prudent Life, and I share a passion for creating stylish organizing solutions, and we recently started a hashtag challenge ... 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 ...

Drawing Backyard Inspiration from a Favorite Vacation Photo
What's the weather been like in your neck of the woods? I know in some parts of the country it's felt like summer for months already, but here in Denver it was snowing at the end April, and was rainy and chilly for the first half of May. But it's I'm finally feeling like we can start getting outside and enjoying the backyard... perfect timing since I'll be sharing some updated backyard photos as part of a summer home tour next week. Our backyard is already pretty colorful {as you can see in ... View the Post
Basement Bathroom Makeover: Week 1 {One Room Challenge}
I've been pretty MIA on the blog lately due to a lot of other things that have required my attention this year {adulting is hard!}, but I have one more project that I really want to accomplish before the end of the year, so I'm giving myself a deadline. I just can't get enough of the One Room Challenge because it provides just the motivation I need to prioritize a project and get it to the finish line! This time around, the project I'm taking on is our basement bathroom. One Room ... View the Post
{DIY with style} How to Add Nailhead Trim to Furniture
When I began working on the redesign of our master bedroom, one of my main goals was to create a cozy reading space in bright corner by our two sliding glass doors. I found a fabulous new chair - the Meloni Arm Chair {affiliate link} that is not only gorgeous, but also met all of my criteria for comfy reading. An ottoman was also on my must-have list, but my budget was tight, so I ended up purchasing a super inexpensive, faux leather ottoman, and then I added just $10 worth of ... View the Post
Playroom Furniture & Storage Ideas
It's Week 2 of the New Year New Room Refresh Challenge. Last week, I shared the before photos of the former bedroom that we recently converted into a playroom / hangout room better suited to our growing boys. This week, I'm talking about playroom furniture and how to choose hard working pieces that add both style and function to the space. Six years ago, I wrote a popular post titled "How to Decorate a Boy's Bedroom That Will Grow With Him." In that post, I made a pretty bold statement - I ... View the Post

{one room challenge} Week 5: We’ve Got Magic to Do
It's Week 5 of the One Room Challenge, which means we have just one week left to finish the boys' shared bedroom. Less than that really, because I need time to photograph it in order to share it with you on reveal day next Thursday. You'd think that by now, I'd have this six week makeover thing down to a science... that I'd be planning and allocating my time so well that I could maybe finish a day or two early rather than working right down to the wire... but no. It never seems to work out that ... View the Post
Rooftop Retreat: Week 1
Over the past decade, we've made a lot of changes to our backyard and it's become a really great space for entertaining and play... but we have another outdoor space - a rooftop deck - that we've been completely ignoring. When we first bought our home, I was so excited about the roof deck. I envisioned Scott and I spending our summer evenings out there entertaining friends and enjoying the mountain views. Fast forward eleven years and two kids, and that deck has become nothing ... View the Post
How to Open Ikea Boxes the Easy Way
It's been a long time since I've posted a Five Minute Friday tip, but this one is just too good not to share! I think many of us would agree that often times the hardest part about assembling IKEA furniture is opening the dang boxes. I mean, I appreciate that the boxes are really sturdy because I've never opened an Ikea box to find the contents inside damaged, but the glue they use makes the boxes nearly impossible tear open. It's one thing when you're assembling one small thing, but when ... View the Post

Isn't it always that case that when it comes to decorating our homes, we put our room last? We moved in to our home six years ago, and we've poured a lot of sweat and tears into just about every space in our home - except our master bedroom. ... View the Post
