I’m kicking off today as the official first day of the One Room Challenge! Years ago I did a few One Room Challenges, and I’m excited to be back. If you aren’t familiar, the One Room Challenge is where a group of bloggers tackle one room in their home and have 6 weeks to complete…
In our raised ranch there isn’t exactly a formal entryway. We always dumped our stuff on the kitchen table when we walked in the door since we didn’t have anywhere to set things in our entrance or have a proper coat rack to hang coats and jackets. It drove me crazy. I dreamed of having…
Storage and organization ideas are commonly searched on Pinterest. We’re all looking for new, clever, and most of all, budget-friendly, options to organize everything from our kitchen to office to laundry room. IKEA is known for their simple, affordable furniture, but have you met the IKEA Kallax cube shelf? In my opinion, it’s the most…
I’ve always loved built-ins and they popped up several times in my Dream Home pin board when analyzing my decorating style, so I knew they were always something I wanted to incorporate into our home. When we first moved in we made a quick TV stand from an IKEA Kallax shelf, but I was…
I can’t even tell you how excited we are about our kitchen renovation reveal and how well it turned out! And I’m even more excited to share our process and how we got here. Because it definitely didn’t always look this pretty. Our kitchen renovation was a long time in the making. To say we…

It’s been a long time coming and it feels like our living room has upgraded and become a true adult space now! If you aren’t familiar with the whole story, let me back up for…
I always like seeing before and afters and real-life examples of blank rooms that are designed from scratch, so I thought it’d be fun today to show a reader’s home and how my e-design decorating process works to bring your ideas and dreams to life. Thank you, Anna, who graciously sent photos of her home…
With our wedding in July and family and friends staying with us for the occasion, I figured it was time I finally give our guest room a little love. I hadn’t touched it since I moved in the house, so there was nothing cute about it. It was a bed in a room and that’s…
