Well, it’s Dec 23rd — and, as always, the year flew by quickly. I’ll be taking the next week or so to relax, visit with family, and prepare for the new year. I’ve got some organizational projects in mind for 2016 and will hopefully be finishing up a few of our current projects. What’s on …

So, let’s talk about our ceiling light. It’s a sputnik style light, with a more affordable price tag. If you’ve ever shopped for “Sputnik” chandeliers before, you know that they aren’t cheap. They typically start in the $300 range and run well over $1000 depending on the size. However, there are some more affordable options …
If you’re like me, it’s just not Christmas without a few handmade gifts. I love each one of these ideas — and the great thing about them is that they are DIY and really fabulous gifts. They don’t feel kitchsy or overdone. I bet you haven’t even seen a few of them, and I hope …

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 …
Did you work on an office space or desk last week? I worked on our home office over the weekend and am so pleased with the progress! I hope you are finding this series helpful — I know I am. If it weren’t for this challenge I might be getting distracted by removing wallpaper and …
