Step by Step Plan for an Organized Home: Week 6 | Laundry Room

     I recently finished a mini makeover of my laundry room that I shared on the blog a few months ago.  In addition to adding a laundry counter and some shelving,  I also focused on getting all my cleaning supplies organized and minimizing what I keep in this area.  Since our laundry room doubles as our mudroom and is in a pretty visible area of our home, it was super important that all my laundry supplies not only be organized, but look semi attractive too.  I removed as much as I could from packages and transferred a lot of my cleaning products to glass jars.  This is such a simple solution but really makes all the difference when organizing not only your laundry room, but also your kitchem pantry, and even linen closet.  I've listed my top tips for getting started on organizing your laundry room as well as my favorite jars, crates, and organizers below!

5 Easy Ways to Update your Living Room for Spring

    The time of year that is most challenging for me in decorating is definitely the January and February months.  I've packed up all my holiday decor but it's still a little too early for full-blown spring colors and accessories.  This year I was able to bridge the gap a little easier by incorporating some pale pastels and lots of layered neutral textures into my living room to bridge the gap between January and the beginning of spring.   As spring as crept closer, I've continued updating and adding more spring touches and accessories throughout the space.  I'm loving the feel of all the pale neutrals, layered textures, and pops of green- a little boho and a little farmhouse style overall.  I also got a new coffee table which I'm loving as it totally has the perfect modern farmhouse look.  Below I've listed a few easy eays to update your living room decor for spring while still keeping it super cozy!  Take a look at how I gave my living room a little mini makeover to wake it up after the winter months!

Step by Step Plan for an Organized Home: Week 5 | Makeup, Beauty Products, + Vanity

 The next area up on my home organization tour is my vanity where I store all my beauty products + makeup.  This is one of the most fun areas in my opinion to get organized, but also can be the most challenging for many women.  As always the key to tackling this space is purging.  I know I probably have a lot less makeup than most, but I also use everything I have, and if I don't like something or if something is empty or old, I toss it immediately.  If you have a lot more makeup/beauty products than I do, there are a ton of great organizing options linked below too with lots of drawers, dividers, and stackers that you can combine to contain your entire collection.  Also don't be afraid to think outside of the box when shopping for organizers.  I love to use vintage pieces like cake plates, mirror trays, milkglass vases, and/or glass jars to contain items, especially on top of your vanity.

Step by Step Plan for an Organized Home: Linen Closet

The next space up on my home organization challenge is the linen closet.  Whether you have one of these in your bathroom, hallway, or laundry room, this space becomes a catch-all for so many household necessities and it's so easy for it to get cluttered and out of control.  This is one space I had on my list to clean out and organize for quite some time now.  I still would like to add a few things, but it is already looking so much better.

Step by Step Plan for an Organized Home: Week 3 | Bathrooms

     The next space up on our organized home challenge is bathrooms!  If you live in an older home like me, you are very familiar with the challenges of limited closet space and storage in bathrooms.  I've always lived in older houses, so I feel like I've mastered making the most of every inch of space for storage and am always on the lookout for creative storage solutions.  This post focuses on three different areas to focus on when organizing your bathroom: open shelving, bathroom cabinets, and the top of your vanity.  Let's start with open shelving!

Decorating Q & A: Bedding

While I was putting together my recent post on "How to Make the Coziest Bed",  I asked my followers to let me know if they had any bedding related questions that I should include and answer in the post.   I got so many great questions but the original post ended up being so long and full of information that I decided to do a separate post to answer your questions!  I pulled the 4 most popular questions and answered them below including lots of inspiration photos + product links too!  I hope this helps answer your questions and gives you a little design direction!

Modern + Minimal Nursery

     I had too much fun designing my first nursery start to finish for some of my favorite clients!  This super chic, modern. and minimal nursery is full of timeless pieces that can be grown into and used for many years to come.  My clients knew they wanted a statement wall in Hale Navy (Benjamin Moore), but besides that, they really let me take the reigns on the design.  My painter put together the simple gridwork trim on the wall and then painted it all one color.  The rest of the walls were already gray which worked with our color scheme and the simple gray crib.
