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 ]

When life gives you houseflies…
*This post is sponsored by Zevo!

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 ]
Extending Kitchen Cabinets up to the Ceiling
Recall for a moment what our kitchen looked like just a couple weeks ago. We loved that dark teal with the glossy swirls for a handful of years, but it was just time for a change. I laid out some more details about why we painted the walls white in this post, and it really brightened up the room sooooo much. To be honest, when I painted the walls white, I wasn’t sure what ...

Woodshop Organization Spray Paint Rack
When we bought this house, we mutually agreed that the garage was Nick’s domain, and the house was mine... at least with regards to what goes where. But as the years have passed, we’ve both infiltrated each other’s domain. To Nick’s surprise, he found that he actually did have an opinion about design elements in our home. And to MY surprise, I found that I can build shit. Like with my own two ... [ Read More ]
A Tour of our Homestead!
Holy cow you guys! I’m just now coming down off the high of having a video go viral. Sooooo CRAZY! Thanks to everyone that shared it! Today’s post is a little different than my typical... I don’t normally do the ‘Home Tour’ posts, but my HOME tab above needs updating anyway, so why not share it in a post too?! If you’re stopping over from Charles and Hudson... welcome to Sawdust and Embryos! ... [ Read More ]
The kitchen is no longer teal
One of the first things we did when we moved into our house was PAINT THE KITCHEN. I got all brave and went with this dark teal color to contrast my white cabinets and chunky white trim, and I absolutely loved it. And apparently you did too, because that post about me painting the kitchen has been pinned over 700,000 times on Pinterest. In my pajamas. The big draw to this room was that one ... [ Read More ]
