After completing my DIY runner, I decided to try some of the fishing line on another rug project. It might not be easy to see, but the rug was unraveling in several spots. This wasn’t an expensive rug originally, maybe $10. It was purchased at Home Goods and sat under a chair in the sunroom …
If you’ve read many blogs or spent much time on Pinterest, I’d say there is a good chance you know Cassity of Remodelaholic. She and her husband, Justin, share all about their home renovations with superb, detailed tutorials. I’ve referred to their Built-In Closet Hack several times to research constructing built-in cabinetry. When they aren’t …
Even though we’ve been stripping wallpaper in the bathroom; the kitchen has been on my mind lately since I’ve set up a little coffee bar. Here is the current state of the space… plaid wallpaper, patterned paper and fruit wall border — all of which will need to go. We plan to paint the kitchen …
Our new hometown is 30 minutes from a Starbucks. This is good for my wallet… but sad for my love of Iced Mochas. Luckily, we have a great local coffee shop about 20 minutes up the interstate — but I still only get there maybe once a week. My thoughtful husband bought me a Keurig …
Rugs can be so expensive! Last month I shared with you the first phase in setting up our new home office; a coat of paint for the desks and an organized workspace. The tiled floor can be chilly on our feet, so we placed a couple of mis-matched rugs at each worktable. My hope was …
It’s been a while since Erica and I have shared a post simply about our thrifting adventures — so after a very successful outing last weekend, I thought it was time to share! Mike and I took the youth to Lexington last weekend, which is where we used to live and home to my favorite …

So, to wrap it all up, we’ve written this gigantic post with all of the organizing solutions we’ve shared over the last 8 weeks and links to every.single.post. …
One of the things I dreaded about moving from our old home was losing all of the organizational systems we had set up there. Obviously, some of those systems would transfer over to our new house; but not all. Many of those systems were based on the layout of our home, the size of a …

We have been working on multiple organizational projects this past week… still trying to get boxes unpacked here in our new home, but we’ve made a lot of progress! This organizing challenge has been great for me because it has kept me focused on getting spaces fully organized and not just so-so in the meantime …
How is everyone doing with organizing their laundry rooms? If you missed Lora’s post from yesterday, go check it out, it’s full of great ideas! Today I’m going to share how I’ve organized my small laundry area. Here is what it looks like: To keep items organized, I use an IKEA white metal shelf (similar) …
This week our organizing challenge is the laundry room. I’ve already got started collecting a few items for our laundry closet — including a plan to sort out some of the items that are already sitting in that space. I’ll share more about it in a few days; but for today I’m going to share …
We are getting close to the end of our 8-Week Organizing challenge — only 2 weeks left! How have you been doing? I’ll be honest, last week was a tough project for me! You’d think that painting and organizing a hall closet or pantry would be a bigger undertaking, but I think photo organization can …
After sharing some bath organization tips last week, I’ve been excited to tell you a little more about the plans for our bathroom renovation. Here is where we are starting. After living in this space for two months there are a few problem areas we’ve identified: There is only one sink; but enough space for …
