It is one of my favorite part of the holiday […]
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 […]

Reader Dilemma – Storage for a Small Bathroom
If anyone knows small bathroom spaces it’s me! When my husband and I chose to give up the “Master” bedroom in our house for a private bathroom, it means we moved into the bedroom with the tiniest closet and an itsy bathroom. Ha, if you can really call it a “master” bedroom, or a closet, or […]
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 […]
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.

Recessed Bathroom Storage
I hate wasted space, so the idea of using the wall space behind the shower as recessed storage I find brilliant! The application of my particular space, not so brilliant. I’m afraid this space needed a little de-uglify-ing, and a quite bit of organization. What do you think? While I was initially happy to have […]
The Painted Vanity
The vanity in my girls Jack & Jill bathroom could use a little pick-me-up, and after looking into my budget I’ve decided that a “pick-me-up” is the best its going to get. Yep, I’m pinching my pennies as always…well I’ve only got nine other spaces I want to makeover! *chuckle* No worries, I’ve seen the […]
