Laundry is actually a REALLY good place to start when examining the toxins in your life. Clothing, sheets, and towels that you wash at home come in direct and constant contact with your skin which is the largest organ in your body. The chemicals found in conventional detergents pass right through your skin and into your bloodstream without any filter! Sharing why "cleaning up" my laundry was the first thing I did and how I did it! PS- we just added this stripe wallpaper to our laundry pool room and LOVE the happy change!!! Laundry Detergents contain hormone-disrupting fragrance and ... Read More

We are back at my best friend, Laila's house! Doing a one day bathroom makeover in their powder bathroom. We really wanted to test peel and stick tile over her current tile to see how it would work.

Plant Parent Tips- How to Help Plants Grow and More
I love my houseplants so much. Most of my decor is in the form of a plant. I like that they add life to a room. NASA researchers have done studies on the best, and most efficient ways to clean the air in space stations. The conclusion, they recommend 15-18 plants for an 1800 square foot home or apartment. Basically 1 plant for every 100 square feet. Plants can absorb toxins through their leaves and serve as a natural way to filter the air in your home. Sharing my top plant tips from watering, how to clean leaves, what plant food is best, avoiding bugs and more! (source) We are always ... Read More
Maximize Storage in Entry with Dresser, Armoire and Coat Tree
We use to have a sofa table in our entry, which was cute. But last month I was looking around my house and trying to maximize every inch of our home. No matter the size of your home, every item in our home needs a place to go! When I shared the recent bedroom makeover for Susan and Wayne, I was surprised that several commented "where did all the stuff go that was on her dresser?" Often if there is an open surface we just sit stuff there, especially if that space isn't decorated yet. We found a place for everything that was on their dresser, humidifier, candy, clothes etc. Same for our entry ... Read More
