Back to {In Person} School is Happening! Time to Organize!

Though we’re still in the midst of masks and distancing because of Covid, it sounds like the kiddos are heading back to school, at least for now. So it’s time to buckle down and get organized. There’s one room in our house that gets use day in and day out and that’s our mudroom/laundry room

It's A Colorful Life || 2020 Christmas Home Tour

The holidays are officially here! If you’re like me, you’ve been thinking about Christmas since last March, hoping and wishing that surely the craziness of 2020 would be past us by now. Obviously we’re still in the throes of it but in my mind that means we’ve got to do all we can to create as much happiness and love to tie up the end of this year.

Reveal day for my Fall 2020 One Room Challenge is here!!!! A huge thank you to Linda from One Room Challenge , Better Homes and Gardens and High Point Market for keeping this event going. 2020 has admittedly been a tough year for all of us but being part of this challenge with so many talented designers, all creating beautiful things together, has really made this last part of the year pretty uplifting. I urge you all to go check out the ORC blog to look through all the amazing designs that have been completed the past six weeks. I promise, you will not be disappointed.

Transitioning to fall this year seems even more important this year because of how long the past 6 months have felt. I’m so ready to have cooler temperatures, cozier spaces and the holidays to look forward to. Transitioning to fall also gives me an excuse to spruce up a few areas in our home too!

Back to School Stations Because The Kids Are Going Virtual

Our county broke the news to us about 2 months ago that our kiddos would all start this school year virtually. Yep, online, at home, alongside two parents also trying to work….all together. It’s gonna be real awesome folks.

Building the Perfect Guest Bedroom

Building the Perfect Guest Bedroom

Alright alright! It’s time for the guest bedroom reveal my friends! I apologize for not doing this sooner but hey, I couldn’t give you ALL the surprises at once, right? Where’s the fun in that? If you remember a couple of months back, I put together an inspiration board to pulling together an inviting and comfortable room for our overnight guests.

One Room Challenge Week 6!!!!!!! Is this Heaven? No, it's our Basement! The Big Reveal!!!

One Room Challenge Week 6!!!!!!! Is this Heaven? No, it's our Basement! The Big Reveal!!!

Wowza you all! I don’t think I’ve been this tired in a very very long time. I feel like it’s college exam week and the coffee, slurpees and cheesy fries just aren’t working to keep me peppy and creative. But we are finally to the finish line! The basement is complete(ish). I mean is a space ever really complete? We’re gonna call this a win though because it’s the one place in our house that our whole family has helped design and that makes it pretty darn good.

Lets take a quick trip down memory lane and look back on where we started. I can’t resist a good “before” shot.

Week 3 One Room Challenge: Floors, bathroom and stairs!

Week 3 One Room Challenge: Floors, bathroom and stairs!

Well we’re half way through the One Room Challenge and things are FINALLY starting to take shape. You know that period during the renovation when you feel like it’s never going to end? We were there and then the floors went in and the bathroom started looking like a bathroom and hope springs eternal!!!!

As a reminder, we chose a luxury vinyl for our flooring that could hold up to boys, husbands and dogs (if the dogs ever decide to head down to the basement). I knew the flooring would look amazing but seeing really is believing! First of all, the lock in process is awesome and makes the whole process pretty quick. But hello! How real is this project getting now that the floors are down? Can we all say AMEN?!
