One little known fact about me, is that I love hot tea. It’s such a soothing way to unwind, to enjoy with breakfast, an afternoon snack or after dinner before bed. And it pairs exceptionally well with scones… Growing up, my mom was always a big lover of hot tea, and she passed that love…

I’ve mentioned before how little storage space our home has, and how it’s one of my major house goals this year to get our house better organized to make everyday life less stressful. The first project I decided to tackle, was organizing under the kitchen sink. Not only was it super easy, but just having…

As we switch seasons and start decorating for Christmas, I thought it might be helpful to share how I store fall decor. Over the years, I’ve really narrowed down my fall decorations, but there’s still items I like to keep and use.  Admittedly, I like to use our everyday items, but just add in a…

We’re back to the office today, and I’m sharing all about how to organize desk drawers. I desperately needed the desk and drawer space, but I wanted the space to work for me, not against me. In the past, it seems like my drawers always stay organized at first, but over time things slide out…

Today’s post is yet another “helpful post”. It’s not necessarily filled with beautiful, jaw dropping pictures, but rather the simplified take on exactly how I organize my spices. In comparison to blog land with most people creating fancy labels, removing the “ugly” items and adding a whole lot of staging, my take is, well, simple. …

The pantry… it’s a room I’m in and out of all day long, and up until a few days ago, I had the biggest mess! Today, it’s all about how I organize our baking canisters! There are several things I’ve never really shared on the blog, but I am allergic to gluten. Thank goodness I…

In preparation for The Vintage Whites Market, I knew there were a few new designs that I wanted to make & take with us. I kept imagining a tray that could be used as a breakfast in bed tray. Something that could make those morning breakfast, cold season bed time routines, or even just a…

Oh man! I am so excited to share today’s project! Not only is it really super cute, but it’s extremely functional. It’s one of those projects… I big puffy heart, love them! As you all know, I’ve been busy working on our office. Not only have I been trying to make things prettier, but I…

I’ve been dreaming about spending a bit more time outside during the evenings. Enjoying the crisp fall evenings with a cup of hot apple cider, a cozy blanket and a warm fire sounds just about perfect. So perfect in fact, that I even got Anthony on board to help with a new project that would…

Hi there! It’s been a bit quiet around here since I’ve been at Haven, my first blogging conference! I had such a blast meeting all of my favorite bloggers and attending classes to help this place grow! And I guess Atlanta wasn’t ready for me to leave as scheduled, because our flight ended up cancelled…

I’m back to share another office update! It’s almost like I’m on a roll or something… especially since I just shared our new office plank wall– THANK YOU all so much for the lovely comments. You seriously ROCK! As I’ve mentioned from time to time, our office has been in the disaster stage for far…

Happy Thursday to ya! And since today is Thursday, April from House by Hoff and Jen from Migonis Home are joining forces with me to bring you a project that you can create for $30 or less! This month I’m sharing my DIY recipe box. And even though it’s really simple, it’s so full of…

I haven’t posted an office update in a bit, but Anthony and I have been busy working on it and adding as much organization that we can… This DIY ribbon caddy is the perfect solution for organizing my ribbon. Before, I’d just toss it in a basket and then forget about it. I wanted something…

Happy $30 Thursday and August 1st! For this round of $30 Thursday, I decided to make some chicken wire baskets that are both functional and pretty. And they make me happy. They’re really easy to make… and cheap too! Here’s how: Please note: Some of the links in this post are affiliate links, which allows us…

I’ve had a major crush on mason jar soap pumps since I first saw them. What a brilliant idea. I mean really, what’s not to love? Even though you may have already seen 101 of them, I’m going to share my version too. So make that 102. It makes me smile big. Here’s how I…

Our laundry room is now one project closer to being done! Yes! Last weekend Anthony had a spare second, so I begged him to do a project for me. Turns out, he might not be immune to my begging after all. Either that, or he was sick of hearing me talk about laundry room crates….

I’ve wanted to make numbered clay tags for a good while now. It seems like everywhere I look, they keep popping up. They’re just that cute. So, this weekend I set out to make my own. First, I tried to use the ever popular salt clay recipe, but I didn’t like the outcome and ended…

I’m all about making my life easier. And my ironing board situation was doing anything but that. Every time I needed to iron, I would have to pull it out of the very back of our guest bedroom closet and move it to the kitchen, which is just about in the middle from the laundry…

Baskets. I like baskets. But, I like them even better when they cost mere dollars rather than big dollar bills. You know what I’m sayin’? When I ran across these baskets in a Ballard Designs magazine, I instantly fell in love. They’re entirely versatile and I loved everything about them, especially the lining. I made…

It’s amazing the things we take advantage of. Like a home office, for instance. Before we sold our house and moved, I spent so much time in our office. Between the bills, filing and working from home time to time, my office got a lot of use. Looking back on it today, I realize that…
