I’ve been doing a whole lotta nothin since Cypress was born. We snuggle, she has a bottle, I change her diaper, and then she naps. It’s a 3 hour rotation we’ve got her on, and it’s glorious. I’ve gotten no less than 9 hours of sleep each night since she’s been born. (don’t hate!) But! A girl can only be idle for so long. I need to have a project in the works, or I start feeling very ...

Mudroom Cubbies ~ Storage for hats & mittens
Hey buddies! Long time no talkie! I wasn’t planning on taking a full-on blogging vacay, but it turned out that way when I was stricken with bronchitis and strep just in time for Christmas. Miraculously, Nick and the girls didn’t get sick at all, and they did a great job of taking care of me. The girls love to play Dr, so they were covering me in a million blankets, taking my temperature, and ... [ Read More ]
Rolling Mudroom Bench with Cubbies!
Phew! What a busy weekend! You too? Nick and I have been working away on our respective projects. He in the bathroom/laundry room (update coming later this week!) and I in the kitchen. There were also a number of trips to the hardware story to break up the monotony of buzzing power tools.’ Today I’m going to show you what I ‘threw together’ (HARDLY) as my next step in my kitchen ...

Temporary Mid-Century Furniture Update!
A few weeks ago, I was bragging on Instagram about how I found this amazing /authentic mid-century Garrison hutch for $70 on our local FB For Sale Page. Normally, $70 would have been more than I would spend on ANY piece of furniture… but I love me some MCM furniture, and I knew this bad boy was worth at least a few hundred dollars. If nothing else we could resell it, right? That was the ... [ Read More ]
A little garage organization happening!
Gooooooooooood MORNING! Nick’s been gone all week on business, and he’s finally home today! So we’re all in great spirits. And the weekend is before us! SUCH a great feeling. Today, I’m going to show you a little organization that’s been happening in our garage. And let me tell you… it was in DESPERATE NEED. There are a LOT of things that need to be done organization-wise in our garage, but I ... [ Read More ]
Kids and Nursery Closet Organization Ideas
It’s hard to believe it was almost than 5 years ago that we shared the details about making over the nursery closet. We found that making some very simple changes and implementing some unique closet organization ideas made SUCH a difference! *this post contains affiliate links* Here’s a breakdown on what we did: Paint everything white! (WHY would you paint a closet a dark color?!) Rip the ... [ Read More ]
Spice Jar Organization
I know how blessed I am to have a pantry, so I’m seriously not complaining. But it’s in need of some organization… especially the spices. Awhile back, my friend Dana and I etched baby food jars for my spices, and while I love this look, sometimes it can be hard to read. So I’ve been wanting to add stickers to the tops too. I just went online and found free label templates, added the text ... [ Read More ]
Entertaining Toddlers and Staying Organized
Let’s talk about toy storage for a moment, shall we? We get questions from time-to-time on how we organize our ‘toy room’, and I always chuckle a little. Because this is our ‘toy room’. Sure, it’d be nice to have a space like this. But we find that the girls get bored with their toys quickly anyway, so WHY DEDICATE AN ENTIRE ROOM OF THE HOUSE TO THEM? We keep most of them out of sight (and ... [ Read More ]
‘Drip Tray’ for Muddy or Wet Shoes
Y’all. We have an epic problem. And I don’t use the word epic flippantly and without consequence like most of the universe. Do you see that? Melty, muddy snow. *hold me* We don’t have the good fortune of having a mudroom. Apparently 114 years ago, architects weren’t concerning themselves with mudrooms. (or linen closets, coat closets, or pantry’s... just sayin’) This is where we ... [ Read More ]
DIY Tablet/Recipe Book Holder under Cabinets
A few years ago, we installed a clothespin under our kitchen cabinets to hold recipes and keep them out of messy ingredients while cooking... because who likes crusty recipe cards? It served it’s purpose for a good long time! As time has worn on and technology advances, we now need to keep our tablets out of the mess. Amiright? Pulling up a recipe on your iPad and bringing it to the kitchen ... [ Read More ]
