We are still in Utah with so many family and friends, we can't help but do a couple makeovers! Kevin always teases that Utah isn't a vacation, since he was born and raised here. We have a fun vacation planned in a few short weeks to Hawaii. So we are going to keep doing our favorite thing- makeovers!!! Today we are sharing a guest room makeover. Which is kind-of selfish, since it is the guest room we stay in when we come to Utah at my parents house. I jokingly told Kevin I got him a bed for Christmas. Which is kind-of true. He really didn't like the bed that was in the guest room at ... Read More

Easy Bedding Idea and Curtain Panel Tips- Bedroom Makeover
We are lucky enough to live around some really great people, who are way too kind about my ability to makeover a room. I had met Keith at our local CrossFit and he was cracking me up how he knew the term "Water Wednesday" and "Thirsty Thursday". So I knew he was a real fan. Ha. So when he and his wife Lauren, asked me to come over and help them with their guest room, I was game. I typically say no to design jobs, but I consider them friends. Also I told them if I can share their room makeover on my blog then that is the only way I will do it. I want to be able to help everyone, so my blog is ... Read More
Dresser Round-Up! Favorite Dressers- All Prices
We got the girls a new dresser. Really because I wanted to give Rachel a dresser for her master bedroom and I thought the girls dresser would look great in her master. Then I could buy the girls a white washed wood one I have had my eye on for awhile. I had ordered the same dresser for the teen boys bedroom (Luke) and fell in love with it. For two reasons #1- we did not have to assemble the dresser (anyone want to give-up right when they see they have to assemble a dresser???) #2- the wood finish was gorgeous! I decided to round-up some of my favorite dressers and where I go to find ... Read More

5 Simple Ways to Transform a Bedroom
Ready to transform your bedroom? Or just see a master bedroom I transformed for a friend?! Wish I could fly to each of your homes and transform them (only the people who wanted me to, obviously). So my friend, Molly reached out to me last summer to help her with her bedroom. And look how fast we are….a year later!! She does live 2,000 miles away from me and just had a baby (my kind of person "whenever you can get it it!"). After transforming her bedroom she told me how much she loved it and she also had a deeper reason for loving it, which is why I say I transformed her bedroom. She told me ... Read More
20 Benefits of a Weighted Blanket and Giveaway
I have talked about how my oldest daughter had a hard time going to sleep and even staying asleep. I asked her if I could share more of what we have been doing to help support her. We have a nightly routine of diffusing, roller bottles, reading and prayer. It was the perfect combo. She was able to calm her mind to relax and accept the fact that it was time to go to bed! But, she still managed to wander down to our room about an hour later, after being dead asleep. She would say that, she can't go to sleep. When in fact she was! She would go back to bed, but poor girl was not getting full ... Read More

Splurge vs Budget- Our Bedding Two Price Points!
Last week I shared that our bedding is all on sale (still is). And yes, even on sale it is a splurge. Or for some it falls right into budget with what they would spend. I worked in a high-end design firm for 17 years, everything was mostly out of my budget. But it sure gave me champaign taste, while learning WHY some items just cost more. I visited many factories and watched the process, so I have appreciation for those "splurge items". I am not going to bash on either side of the budget vs splurge, because honestly both are great! If you are a reader of my blog, I share all price ... Read More
