I have to admit, between the 'renovations' we're doing at the new house, and the updates we're making at the old house to get it ready to put on the market, I'm finding it hard to find time to sit down and actually WRITE A DARN BLOG POST about the things that are being accomplished. Also, that was a run-on sentence. But I keep reading it to try and figure out how to divide it up, and I just ... [ Read More ]

Kitchen Update – DEMO
It's been a minute since we talked about what's going on at the new house. It seems like we have so much to do that it would actually be counterproductive to stop and take the time to write about it. BUT, I don't want to leave you guys hanging, and I want an account of how all this went down so we can look back on it over the years. When we first announced that we bought a house and will be ...

Closet Organizer Ideas for Maximizing Space
I’ve found that my organizing blog posts for closets have been hot topics that people need help with. Being a closet organizer doesn’t come naturally to everyone, and THAT’S OKAY! We live in a old house with small closets, so I’ve had to learn some tricks for maximizing closet space, containing clutter, and creating unique closet organizer ideas. I’m going to share a few of my own ideas, along ... [ Read More ]
New Tile Backsplash in the kitchen!
When we shared the final reveal of our kitchen, there was one thing about it that I wasn’t 100% happy with. If you’re thinking it was the fact that I painted my cabinets chartreuse, you’d be wrong. It was the backsplash. Installing a backsplash wasn't a priority, and I grew to regret that decision. You might remember that I have a thing for painting backsplashes to LOOK like tile, and this ...

Repair Scratches on Furniture
We’ve had this wall in our kitchen where there’s a window AND a register on the floor. Plus it’s a walkway, so I had given up any hope that this area could be functional and have any organizational. But on a trip to IKEA, I happened upon the PERFECT piece to put here! It’s this cabinet (also comes in black/brown, and gray stain)that’s meant for putting shoes inside… but we use it for school books, ... [ Read More ]

Chalkboard Wall Command Center – with Acrylic Calendar!
Greetings to you from the other side of the New Year! There’s just something refreshing and new-beginning-ish about the first few days of January. We’re all pumped to be better people and live healthier, more organized lives. You too? Since our kitchen also serves as our mudroom, there just isn’t an obvious spot to put a Command Center. And our kitchen NEEDS a command center. I’m very calendar ... [ Read More ]
Eclectic Kitchen Reveal
I think I can finally say… OUR KITCHEN IS FINISHED. I’ve loved all the changes, but until recently, it just didn’t feel finished. Those old appliances were Nasty with a capitol N. We finally had enough pennies saved to get brand new stainless appliances. (and I’ll just tell you …it takes a LOT of pennies). But soooo worth it. Look at these beauties! I know the bold choice of ... [ Read More ]
Looking back at 2015
My people. My dear DEAR people. Did you survive the holidays? Do you have even more family Christmas gatherings to attend? I feel that it would be in my best interest (and everyone elses?) to take a 2-day nap, followed by stripping the house of all Christmas décor, and finding a ‘home’ for every single new item acquired over the holidays. THE CLUTTER. It’s taking over my life. And my marriage. ... [ Read More ]
How to Stencil your Backsplash
Well it’s been a week, and I STILL LOVE my chartreuse kitchen cabinets! It was fun to watch the wide array of comments flow in. I think it’s fair to say... you either loved it or ya hated it. And that’s ok! A lot of my design choices are off the wall... it’s just my style. And you still read my blog, sooooo... I love to mix different design genre’s to create my own personal style. If having ... [ Read More ]
