My Storage Hack for Organizing Christmas Decorations
Every year when I pack up the decorations after Christmas, I collect all of the garlands together in one box, I get all the candlesticks together in another box, and all my nativity sets go into their own box. We label the boxes "garlands," "candles," "nativity sets,"...which seems great until you remember that you have […]

Before & After: A Laundry Room Into A Mudroom
Well fam, we made it. We're finally here! The mudroom is officially done. I looked back at the very first post about transforming this space, and it was one year ago, almost to the day. On the one hand, I feel a little deflated that it took us a year. And on the other hand, […]

The Case for Armoires and Wardrobes
The alternative title to this blog post was "That's Armoir-e" to the tune of the Dean Martin song "That's Amore." What can I say? I just love them.

An Update On The Bonus Room Lockers
We've been living with these built-in lockers in our bonus room for over a year and a half now. They've been thoroughly used and loved, and with school starting, I figured we're overdue for an update. We still love the lockers!

Revealing the High Gloss, Custom Built-in Cabinetry in the Study
Deciding to add these built-ins was 100% a necessity for the study. When we moved in, this was somewhat of a formal sitting room. Really it was just a box of a room with no character beyond the crown molding. At first, we pictured this room as a music room, but once we decided it […]

How We Built the Dining Room Fauxdenza (and Why It's Not Quite Done)
Back in March, we built a fauxdenza in the dining room and it has been a wonderful, budget-friendly way to get a lot of storage for not a lot of money. It's called a "fauxdenza" because although it looks like a credenza (or sideboard), it's actually made with upper kitchen cabinets! It's an easy DIY […]

Rug | Pouf | Chairs | Table | Lights Not much has changed visually since the last playroom update. We moved the television up to our bedroom (bliss!): And we smashed that outdated mantle off of the fireplace. So now things are looking worse, as they tend to do with renovations. But!
