I started the Home Tour with Piper's Room. Today I thought I would show you part of the Living Room/Front Room/Everything Room. The shelves. But before I can really address the shelves, I need to show you where this side of the room started and where it is now. It started as a REALLY small front room. We only intended to paint and carpet in the beginning. But we had...
Brushing teeth. You'll probably tell me that it was easy for you to get your kids to start down this path. Not so much for us. In the evenings, Hubs is a saint and takes over for bath duty while I straighten up. He passes off Piper to me when she's done. While I put her to bed, he wrangles in the other 2 wild banches. The other night at...
Every now and then I get a phone call or email asking me if I can help with some design staging ~ parties, rooms, etc. It's definitely something I love to do and is very much my past life. So when I can find a way to squeeze a project or two in, I do! I love the challenge! This past October was one of those times. Our home had...
Stick with me on this one, I can see the doubters with their one eyebrow standing tall over one eye... Seriously....Who knew that green smoothies could be so good! Thankfully for me, a wonderful and truly thoughtful college friend sent me a couple of books to try. She swore by them, and as she explained to me, she not only eats for flavor, but also for survival. And swore that...
MANY have asked when I would be posting photos of our house AFTER we moved in. (If you missed it, here is the full set of BEFORE). And while I had every intention of doing this ages ago, whenever I started to take the photos, I was just never as happy with the photos as I was with the rooms in real life. Add to that, that when I've worked...

I have been so behind in life, that I actually had over 700 photos to download (upload?) to my computer from my camera last night. When I came across this one, all I could say was, "Huh!?!?" For the life of me, I couldn't figure out what Hayden was doing or where she was, or if I had even taken the photo... Then I remembered we had bought these giant...
I've been working on some design projects lately which means lots of research for inspiration and ideas...and that always takes me off the beaten path. But that's how you find out about new things, right!?!? So what if you're 500 miles from where you need to be.... *sigh* The good news (I think...) is, you may see a few more design type posts in the future as that is where...
Part of loving interior design is about being open to seeing things you wouldn't normally, and then falling in love with the design. In fact it shocks me how often I see something so simple and so perfectly easy, and yet it *never* crossed my mind. I have often encouraged people to use a curtain rod mounted on the ceiling for things like hanging extra long shower curtains, or a...
For some reason having 2 kids under 2 and being pregnant was doable. Tough, but I could make it work. Then 2 kids under 2 with a young baby (a young, easy, totally & miraculously self sufficient baby) was doable. Tough, but life worked. Now... 3 kids, 2 and under (Piper turns 1 on Wednesday, Addie turns 3 this coming Monday, Hayden turned 2 a few weeks ago). Well....life just...
