Teenaged Girl's Bedroom in Scandinavian Design

It has been several months since we redesigned my teenaged daughter's bedroom for her birthday, but I wanted to share how lovely it turned out. It's difficult to get into her room and photograph these days, as she is now homeschooled and spends an enormous amount of time in her room, and more specifically on her bed! If you've been following me for any time now, you may remember that we re-did her bedroom a few years ago! She is now a full fledge teenager and has very specific design ideas and so for her 14th birthday, I told her we could redecorate her room. It has been FIVE years and she's a lot different at 14 then she was at 9 years old! Here is what her room looked like before:

Chalkboard Pantry Door Update!

The kitchen is the hub of our home, and probably for yours too! One of my favorite things in our kitchen is the pantry. I had never had a pantry before - I had a pretend one in our last house - but this house had an actual walk in pantry. It's not huge or anything, but it's the one place that holds ALL our food in the kitchen. My pantry door was fine. But, there were a few problems with it and I wanted to kick it up a notch or two - because I LOVE organizing and decorating!

Perfectly Organized? What?

Have you ever looked at these beautiful magazine pictures, Pinterest photos, Instagram photos, and felt like you just couldn't measure up to that? Like, it's so PERFECT, I can never do that. Let me give you a dose of reality today and encourage you! I LOVE encouraging you! You see, those are staged!

Forty and Sporty!

I'd love to tell you that I'm talking about a cool car that is precisely perfect for gas reservation.  However, I am NOT.

How I organize my kitchen...under my sink

If you've ever tried to tackle organizing, it's best to do it one little bit at a time!  That's what I do...and what I always recommend to ladies who come to me asking for advice to getting their whole house organized.  Start small and then keep that newly organized place up a little bit each day.  You'll find that sometimes your space isn't working how you wanted it to, but that's alright.  Here's what I did when I could see there was a problem under my sink.

Just lovely, isn't it?

Awesome product!

Contain Yourself

 I found a great article from The Container Store (my personal favorite store!) about managing your household.  It's got great tips and ideas, which include containers from their store too - but you can still use the ideas to inspire you!

Bedroom Closet Clean up (part 2)

So, I had a little excursion to my favorite store!  Yep, The Container Store.  It's a world of organizing bins and systems and gadgets....my dream!  I went there because I'm honestly having a little dilemma in my husband's closet and wanted to see if I could solve the dilemma.
