This girl does. And her handy-man husband. If you’ve been around here for awhile, you know that I’ve been complaining about my basement and lack of inspiration I’ve had since moving in 18 months ago. Knowing full well that I would have two and a half weeks off before my program starts, I had been […]
I’m off of work this morning and loving life. My morning has been spent sipping tea, writing letters and making lists. Yep, that’s right. Lists. I’m totally a list person. I have so many lists everywhere that I have to make a list just to keep them in order. If I don’t use this organizational […]
… and I can not lie You other sisters can’t deny That when books are read, instead of going to waste They gladly fill your space… They get hung… … and bent, and color-coaded, and what not… Don’t judge my rapping abilities (Unless you are Sir Mix-a-lot! ). Hopefully my sense of home decoration style […]
This saying couldn’t be any more true right now. My decorating process, not unlike my cleaning skillzz, has ADD. I move from one project to another without finishing anything. Right now in addition to a long to do-list, I’m working on rearranging the living room. It kind of became priority, because it’s the one room that people […]
If you are an avid reader with no desire to spend too much money on new books and no room left to store your old ones, this post is for you. I was introduced to Paperback Swap a few months ago and all the problems above have been solved. Whoever came up with the idea […]
I know many of you are already on Pinterest, but if you are not… well, let’s just say your life isn’t quite complete. I’ve always wanted to start an idea file for my home, style, life in general. I never got around to it… And then Pinterest happened. A virtual pinboard is so much more […]
Now that I’m on my summer break, I finally have time and energy to go through everything in the house and DECLUTTER. We’ve only lived in this house for 3 years and I feel like we have more junk than Greg’s grandma. Why is it so hard to throw stuff away? Hubby is on board […]
I had a long breakfast with a friend today, cleaned my whole house, went on a long run, and then I decided to do something productive:). I’ve been itching to buy a jewelry organizer, but haven’t gotten around to it yet. So I decided to make one myself. It’s nothing compared to this beautiful baby, […]
So if you read about my guest bedroom dilemma, you are aware that I really am not happy with the way that our guest bedroom/basement/study currently looks. I did do some rearranging this weekend and I am liking the new look, but we have a long way to go. After coffee and convo with my […]
I’ve always loved the idea of using old things for creating something new. Not only do you get rid of clutter, but you also get a completely unique little thing. Have a broken chair? Paint it and hang it in your bathroom. Or turn your old books into charming vintage shelves. If you like sewing, […]
