The Best Height to Hang Pictures: Simple Tips For Getting it Right!
My Five Favorite Fall Essentials
New seasons always sneak up on me but never as much as this fall did!! With so much chaos in our house this year (yep, I'm looking at you, you time-suck of a kitchen!), I've been behind on everything, including decorating for fall. So instead of going full-on fall this year, I'm keeping things super simple and sticking with just a few fall favorites while I get our house back in order so that I'm ready to go full throttle on my Christmas decorating (the holidays will be here before we know it)! ...
Ebay Shopping: How to Find the Best Steals & Deals For Your Home!
I consider myself a black belt shopper and while finding the best deals at many online stores involves simply waiting for a sale, on eBay there are lots of little tricks for snagging things for your home at a great price.

All of these tricks are super simple, you just have to know what to do. Today I'm ...

One of those additions is our kitchen eat-in area that adjoins the main part of our kitchen - do you see that short wall to the left with ...
Behind The Scenes: A Day In My Life!
I've always loved peeking behind the curtain and seeing how people live and spend their days (which might explain my embarrassing addiction to shows like Vanderpump Rules and Million Dollar Listing) but today the tables are being turned on me. Yikes! My friends Amy & Christy of 11 Magnolia Lane put together a fun blog hop where we each document and share a typical day in our lives. Honestly, I came super close to saying, "Thanks but no thanks" when they asked me to join along because a day ...
Garage Organization: Tackling Our Crazy Mess with Elfa
When we finally finished our it-took-forever kitchen remodel last month, we had the beautiful new kitchen that we had dreamed of but we also had a garage that looked like it came out of an episode of Hoarders. To be honest, it wasn't exactly neat and tidy before our kitchen renovation but the addition of extra tools, molding samples, packaging materials, painting supplies, and a massive layer of construction dust took it to next-level chaos: Not only could we not get even one of our cars ...
