Our urban neighborhood has lots of perks, like being within walking distance of great restaurants, shops, and even the most charming little library. But one thing you don't get in the city is a big yard. I'm not complaining. I wouldn't trade our location for anything. But we really need to make the most of our limited outdoor space! Right now, our front landscaping leaves a bit to be desired. I'm determined to change that this year, and I'm partnering with Roundup® For Lawns to make that a ... View the Post

This Quick Tip Will Keep Your Pantry Organized
As I was putting away groceries the other day, it occurred to me how differently I approach that mundane task now than I used to. For years, putting away the groceries meant simply finding a place for everything on the pantry shelves - a box here, a box there, making room or just shoving a box in even if there wasn't room. Finally, I buckled down and spent several days completely emptying the pantry and fully reorganizing it from scratch. And that time investment paid off! When I stood ... View the Post
{one room challenge} Week 2 – You Spin Me Right Round, Baby Right Round…
Welcome to Week 2 of the One Room Challenge! I'm popping in with an update to show you what we've accomplished this week! But first, let me take a minute to catch you up on the plan. For this round of the ORC, I'm taking on the smallest room I've ever decorated - the former storage space under the stairs in our basement. We are converting this 12.5' x 3' space into a rockin' playroom for our boys. You can read in the Week 1 post why this project is so special to me. Here's the space ... View the Post
{one room challenge} Garage Makeover Week 2: A Prettier Blank Slate
Welcome to Week 2 of the One Room Challenge. It has been really busy around here! Last week I showed what a disaster our garage was, but we have now cleared it out and transformed the raw studs and bare concrete to create a much prettier blank slate. The organization and colorful elements will be coming into the space in another week or two, but let me show you what what we've accomplished thus far! In order to fully appreciate the progress we've made, let me remind you where we ... View the Post
Basement Bathroom Makeover: Week 2 {One Room Challenge}
It's a good thing the One Room Challenge has been extended from six weeks to eight, because we accomplished exactly nothing during week 1, and week 2 isn't shaping up to be much more productive on the bathroom makeover front. We've have some family matters that are taking priority right now, but I did want to pop in quickly tonight with a quick update to show you a few inspiration photos. Then next week, I'll share the detailed plans for this space... and hopefully soon after that we'll actually ... View the Post
{seasonal style} A Very Colorful Christmas Home Tour
Happy Holidays! If you are new here, welcome! I am thrilled to have you stop by today for my very colorful Christmas home tour. Our home is very colorful all year round, so you'll find just about every color of the rainbow in our holiday home tour.

As I lead you around the house, if you find yourself wondering how all of these colorful spaces fit ... View the Post
Rooftop Retreat: Week 2
Last week I showed you our rooftop deck. The one that's basically been abandoned for the better part of a decade. And this week, I'm excited to show you what I have planned to turn this space into a rooftop retreat that our whole family can enjoy! About a decade ago, we bought a couple of lounge chairs for the deck... but other than posing for this photo, we never really used them. It turns out, we're not really lounge chair people. And especially now that we have kids, we need a more ... View the Post
{decorating with style} Designing a Gender Neutral Nursery
Long before I was ever pregnant with our son, Beckett, I started imagining how I would someday want to decorate a nursery. Scott and I had already made the decision that we would want the baby’s sex to be a surprise, so that meant a gender neutral nursery would be in order. Many family and friends acquainted with my Type A personality seemed surprised that I wouldn’t want to know the whether we were having a boy or a girl so that I could plan accordingly. I had a different ... View the Post
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

DIY Denim Organizers for Boys’ Accessories + More Boy Organizing Ideas
All week long I am participating in Boy Mom Madness, a fun blogging event featuring 15 boy moms blogging about all things boy, with a new theme each day, leading up to a big link party and giveaway on Friday. Yesterday was all about boys' bedrooms {and I shared my tips for designing a boy's room that will grow with him}, and today we are talking about organizing for boys. Little boys are loud, crazy, and fun, and they have a lot of toys that require storage and organization. But my ... View the Post
Fun Family Christmas Traditions
I wish we could enjoy the Christmas season with our family year round! Of course, logically, I realize that what makes it special is that it's just one month each year... but it's such a magical and wonderful time, especially with young kids! It was important to me that we start establishing holiday traditions with our boys from an early age, so that they would grow up with cherished memories of those traditions. I love hearing about other family's traditions, so today - as we officially start ... View the Post
