DIY Gold + Marble Modern Cubby Makeover

By

Thanks to Little Partners for sending these cubbies my way. This DIY Gold + Marble Modern Cubby Makeover is quick, easy and looks great!

I love our mid-century modern home, but it suffers from a serious lack of storage. And the intersection of young kids and lack of storage is called chaos. I found these cute cubbies and immediately fell in love with them. But of course I wanted to add my own twist. Gold hardware, carrera marble looking accents and a geometric planter gave this cute children’s storage piece a unique, modern mini-me look. With a few small adjustments I had a modern cubby makeover.

It goes without saying, that nearly all of my home projects have been on hold this past year. With time to reflect on what my priorities are for myself and our family, I kept coming back to the same two things. Making our home comfortable for everyone and spending quality time together in and around it. [Read more…]

Kids + Guest Bathroom Update on a Budget

By

Tracking PixelI did a bathroom renovation on a budget several years ago and just made an easy, bathroom update on a budget for summer with Lowe’s. Thanks to Lowe’s for sponsoring this post.

We’ve officially hit the three year mark on the guest bathroom we renovated on a budget. It has survived Kayla’s bathroom science experiments and is currently being put to the test with Blake’s potty training. With me in the hospital quite a bit, we’ve had lots of family helping out. So while I was feeling good, I wanted to do a few simple updates.

I Have Receipts – DIY Receipts Envelope

By

It is no secret that I love myself a little DIY project. To me, every project is an opportunity to learn something new, take ownership of the process and feel pride in the finished product. Taking the time to be creative exercises the innovative muscles in my brain, creating a creativity snowball effect. It also gives a much needed break to the ones that deal with email correspondence and spreadsheets.

Every January I start a new file to store financial papers I collect throughout the year for business expenses. Receipts, contracts, check stubs and 1099’s. A couple of times a week, I gather these papers together from my desk, handbag and kitchen counter and stash them away for tax time. So it felt all too appropriate to do a little DIY project and customize this stylish envelope with the cheeky phrase ” I have receipts.”

How To Transition Christmas Decor To New Years

By

Want to know how to transition your Christmas decor into New Years decor easily? I have partnered with Lowe’s to bring you two looks, show you how to put them together and inspire you to get decorating for the holidays.

Holiday decorating is something I look forward to all year. As soon as we hit November I can’t wait to break out the Christmas decorations and enjoy them for as long as possible. My style is simple, yet playful and I love mixing colors and textures. Craig and I host Christmas in our home and frequently have family in town right up until the new year. So this year I wanted to create an entryway look that could transform from Christmas to New Years quickly.

 

Our entryway has always been my little space to makeover as many times as I like. Since it’s the first thing people see when they come through the door, it’s fun to set the tone. If you know me then you know I don’t hesitate to paint EVERYTHING gold. About a year ago our entryway table went from chocolate brown to gold and I’ve never looked back. [Read more…]
