In our 1100 square foot home in Connecticut where we lived for 6 years, we had a large unfinished basement (that couldn't ever be livable) that we used for storage, but no garage. In our now Utah home, we have the opposite, no storage room, but a big garage. I wanted to maximize the garage with hidden storage, and was thrilled when I found storage cabinets at Lowe's. I also spotted some great gift ideas, some items we using daily. Sharing all that today! Thank you Lowe's for sponsoring this post PS- get all the details on our garage, including floor HERE If you are looking for ... Read More
Teen Girl Bedroom- Checkered Wallpaper with Built-in Nook for Desk
I was talking to my friend April, (who is also my neighbor) and she had mentioned that her daughter, Elle, has a hard time getting to sleep and actually wanting to sleep in her room. April said, "maybe if I decorated it, she would like it more." I totally agree with that, when kids like their bedrooms, they want to spend time in there, and then hopefully makes them feel comfortable enough to sleep in their beds! It is the snowball effect. So I offered to give Elle a bedroom makeover! Thank you The Company Store for sponsoring this makeover! Elle Bedroom Plan- Elle's Drawing of ... Read More

Family Room Christmas 2023
I shared our piano set-up yesterday and wanted to share a closer look at our Christmas tree in here! Our fireplace is the star of the show in this room. I started with a lot of garland on the mantel, and layered decor with it, a collection of trees mostly and boxwood topiaries. Sharing all the details here! We did get a new Christmas tree in this room. Our previous tree had lights that didn't work in the center, and we had gotten a full credit on it, my sister in-law asked if we had any trees we weren't using so we passed that to her. We ordered this downswept Christmas Tree. We love it! ... Read More
Frame TV Christmas Art (free!) with Picture Lights and Top Christmas Movies (with graphic)
Remember how we moved our piano into the family room? We had a console there that I did like, it just felt to small for that area. I asked Kevin to help me to move our piano to that space instead (easy right?!). And we both knew it was the right move. This is our family room that is connected to our kitchen, so it just made sense to have the piano in our main space. And bonus we have all been practicing more! See how the TV looks with FREE art downloads for you!!! See how it fills the space better? I also knew the piano would be used so much more, which means we need a light above the ... Read More

Christmas and Winter Front Porch 2023
My inspiration for our front porch came when I found a nutcracker at one of my favorite local shops, that was already hand painted in the prettiest colors! I knew I wanted the nutcracker to be the star, and accent with real evergreen trees and loads of fresh garland for a maximalist look. You have probably seen this nutcracker in the original red form on social media. I walked into The Simple Nest and immediately asked the store owner, Aubrey if she would sell it and she was happy to! She did say it took her hours to paint him, I can imagine it was a BIG project. Around the ... Read More
We Covered a Door with a Cabinet and Christmas in our Dining Room 2023
In our dining room, we have a fireplace in the center of the room, really the focal point. Next to it we have a cabinet that I have loved! It's very large and I can store lots of serving pieces in it. I've been thinking how I'd really like another cabinet, on the other side of the fireplace. Only problem, there is a door. Seems like a big deal, right? Well the more I thought about, the more it didn't seem like a deal breaker. The door is a pocket door that leads to our office. But it's not the only entrance to the office. And we rarely use the office to dining room door. We mainly walked ... Read More
