Well, “living” Â seemed more accurate since we really do live in there. There are computers/desk space for all three of my girls to do school (we home […]
Basement Remodel: From Scary to Stunning
*This post is sponsored by The Home Depot (who I’m convinced is my fairy godmother) Â I’ve never loved the idea of a basement, they are dark, damp, and cold. Plus I’m convinced the boogie monster (aka the mice) have overrun mine. Worst, our basement became kind of the catch-all for miscellaneous items we didn’t […]
The White Winter Bed & Bath Refresh
I don’t know about where you live, but there is TONS of snow on the ground where I am. Living in the snow belt of Northeast Ohio isn’t all ski trips and sledding, it is snow blowing your driveway at 6AM in the morning so you can make it out the drive to go to work. That […]
Stenciled Designs For High End Custom Style
If you know me, you know I am a huge fan of painting your own designs onto pillows and rugs, and now curtains. You get a truly custom look for less in the space, not to mention the DIY bragging rights! Oddly, the one thing I have never before used are stencils, so when Royal Design Studio […]

The Office Of My Dreams
I was asked to show my dream work space, and boy, it sure got me dreaming… I don’t have a room for an office in my house. I dream of a dedicated room for an office… It would be a vaulted room with tall imposing windows, all 4 walls would be laden with built-in bookcases, and […]
Wallternatives, A Beautiful Wall Art Solution!
My sister Sarah and her husband have a sweet humble apartment (translation…tiny), and a modest decorating budget (translation…minuscule to none), and lots of time to make it beautiful (well that’s just a straight up lie… I’m surprised they have time to eat Ramen between work and college!).Ah the life and budget of a student. I […]
A Dream House Tour
Like most of you, I’m a sucker for an inspirational home tour. While we love to virtually browse through images of gorgeous homes and imagine ourselves enjoying these spaces, nothing is quite like being in the space itself. Experiencing firsthand the flow and beauty of the space, and learning what functions work best for how […]
Laundry Room Reveal
We love a good laundry room reveal
The Two-Day Powder Room
We like to believe that it is our biggest rooms that have the greatest impact when it comes to decorating, but I find that it’s the small spaces that I love to makeover the most. First off, who says a small space can’t have a big impact? And then there is the benefit of completing […]
Jack & Jill Bathroom Reveal
This bathroom makes me soooooo happy! I seriously avoided passing this bathroom because it made me anxious and frustrated. My girls had a hard time keeping it tidy, and it seemed to get uglier every time I saw it. Now with some careful planning it is pretty and practical! But wait, I’ve saved the best […]
Coat Closet Reveal
These days it seems everyone is turning their coat closets into mudrooms and reading nooks. I love the idea, but I couldn’t practically give up my closet space. What I could give it was new life with lots of pretty and practical solutions. Beastly Before Oh mercy, I’m loath to remind you of the before […]

Do you remember the initial Before & After? Scary before right? Lovely after! A great friend got it headed in […]
My Upstairs Hall: A Guest Corner
I know, you’re wondering how does a second-story hallway become a guest corner?No, I don’t mean a space for guests to sit and hangout (although they seem to do that anyway), but rather a place my overnight guests can easily find all they need to feel at home. See, the corner of my upstairs hall […]
