Wow! I can't believe it's been two months since the One Room Challenge ended and I revealed my completed Modern Metro Master Bedroom Makeover! Because the completion of the room fell so close to the holidays, I got busy with Christmas posts and never followed up to share some of the details of the room, including the DIY tutorials. But recently I have received a few emails and comments asking about various items in the room, so I decided it was time to turn my attention back to the room and ... View the Post

Indoor Flower Boxes
I'm jealous of those with green thumbs because mine are most definitely black! Even with drip lines and automatic timers that water my potted flowers outside, I can still hardly keep anything alive. So when it comes to the indoors, I love having a vase of fresh blooms on the counter, but other than that, faux is how I roll! I wanted to add some more color to the kitchen for spring and summer, and I envisioned some bright pink blooms {fake of course}, but unlike the tall bottles of cherry ... View the Post
14 Everyday Items That Can Be Repurposed as Flower Vases
Adding flowers to any room immediately brightens up the space {fresh or fake, I don't discriminate}. For even more interest, get creative with your vases. Rather than grabbing that clear glass vase from the top shelf of the cabinet, why not look around the house for some other items that can be repurposed to create unique and colorful vases to add an unexpected touch to your decor?! I like to add a lot of cheerful color to our home for spring and summer, and this year I created a simple ... View the Post
{Denver style} Mid Century Modern Architecture for a New Century
Like many cities, Denver has well preserved pockets of mid century modern homes built between 1935 and the mid-1950s, including Arapahoe Acres, the first mid-mod neighborhood to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. But if you think mid-mod is just a thing of the past, think again! A brand new Denver neighborhood is bringing an updated version of mid century modern to a new generation. Last month I shared a photo from one of these homes on Instagram. You guys loved it ... View the Post
The Best Baby Shower Game: Baby Face Mix and Match
I've helped to host quite a few baby showers over the past several years, and it seems almost universal that the guest of honor/mom-to-be says these two things: (1) "I don't really love baby shower games. No, really, please don't make me look at candy melted in diapers!"; and (2) "It makes me a little uncomfortable to be the center of attention during present opening." I hear you, my friends! As a result of these common sentiments, I have two favorite go-to baby shower activities that always ... View the Post
Dollar Store Storage with an Anthropologie Inspired Gold Basket
As you may recall, a few months ago I turned an old printer stand into a rolling bar cart - it was one of four furniture flips I did for my Drab to Fab feature at the Denver Home Show. I installed several wine glass racks below the painted "counter top," but still had space to fill on the shallow shelf next to the glasses. The goal was to complete my furniture makeovers on a tight budget, so I wanted to accessorize on the cheap as well. I immediately envisioned a gold wire ... View the Post
{entertaining with style} A Rain Shower Themed Baby Shower
When I found out last year that my dear friend, Corrie, was expecting a baby, I knew I wanted to throw a fabulous baby shower for her. Corrie is a Denver native, but has been living in Seattle for a few years now. And since baby's gender was going to be a surprise, I thought it would be fun to host a gender neutral celebration themed around the baby's Northwestern birth place. So with a teal and yellow color scheme, and lots of clouds, raindrops and umbrellas, I put together a rain shower ... 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
{gifts with style} Beckett’s Big Brother Kit
A few weeks back, I shared a sneak peek of one of the special gifts I made for Beckett to give him when our new baby arrived - a custom designed board book featuring hand drawn animal silhouettes. Today I'm back to show you the entire Big Brother Kit that we gave to him at the hospital after Cooper was born. The idea for the Big Brother Kit started with my desire to make Beckett a special Big Brother shirt using iron-on transfer paper. I bought a plain black t-shirt from ... View the Post
Pops of Color on the Front Porch
I hope everyone is enjoying the summer! After a spring filled with opposite extremes here in Denver - gorgeous blue skies and warm weather one day, snow the next - we finally found time in late May, right before baby Cooper arrived, to do a bit of sprucing up on our front porch. While there is never a shortage of color inside my house - our front porch has been lacking color ever since we moved in. I love the stone on our house, but the ... View the Post
{diy with style} Tips & Tricks for Using Chalkboard Paint + A Few Uses You Probably Haven’t Thought Of
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, and apparently there hasn't been enough painting going on in my life lately because I just can't stop thinking about all things paint! Yesterday, I shared all of my best advice for painting any space... from choosing paint and paint supplies, to achieving perfectly crisp paint lines, clean up, and even paint storage and disposal. And now I'm talking about chalkboard paint! Whether you already have a chalkboard in your home, or you are ... View the Post
{outdoor style} How to Get Your Dream Patio On a Budget
Last week, I shared a tour of our backyard transformation, along with some tips for turning your patio into a comfortable outdoor living room for the whole family. My number on piece of advice for creating your dream outdoor space is to shop the end of season clearance sales! The good news - those "end of season" sales are already in full swing even though it's only mid-summer. That means you can grab the patio furniture you've been dreaming of for a bargain right now, and still get ... View the Post
