Crushing on Garden Stools

May 23, 2014 By Lauren

garden, stool, design, decor, trend

Memorial Day Blow-Out! Enjoy up to 70% off everything you need for the weekend.  * This post contains affiliate links. All opinions expressed in this post are 100% mine. One of the hottest decor trends I've seen this year is the popularity of garden stools, sometimes called "drum tables." These design accents, often made out of ceramic or shimmery metal, are fun and versatile. Garden stools come in a wide variety of shades, including white, silver, gold, greens, blues, reds and yellows. The use of these drum-shaped stools are said to have originated in China at least 1,000 years ago, Continue reading...

Easy Cloth Napkin Pillows

April 19, 2014 By Lauren

Hello! I am back talking about easy DIY pillows again. (I last posted about my cloth placemat pillows.) As you probably know, I am in LOVE with my new Mohawk Home area rug, and my La-Z-Boy sofa, which I adore dressing up and making look pretty. So, when I  found 4-packs of cloth napkins on sale at Target for less than $3 a pack, I had to snag them! I just love the pretty prints. I knew I could transform the cloth napkins into DIY cloth napkin pillows for my new La-Z-Boy sofa! I bought three packs of the cloth napkins. Since four napkins are in each pack, I could make Continue reading...

“Rooms Repurposed” — Making Your Home Work for You

February 23, 2014 By Lauren

meditation room

A few months ago, I shared with you my friend Christine's awesome black and white craft room. Christine converted what might have been only a lightly used space in her home -- an area that would normally be a dining room -- and converted it into a striking craft room, complete with hand-crafted black and white decor, a card catalog for fabric storage and a highly functional sewing table. I am so excited because that room is now one of the inspiring spaces featured in Cristin Frank's new book, Rooms Repurposed: A Purposeful Home, A Purposeful Life, available on Amazon.com! What Continue reading...

West Elm Yellow, Brown and Gray Living Room

January 10, 2014 By Lauren

I am hoping to redecorate my home's living room, and I am so excited! For my Christmas gift, my husband made me a popsicle stick sofa (so cute) and said I could go shopping for a sofa. I can't wait! I've done a little shopping so far, and at the moment, I am crushing on West Elm! I love their modern color schemes and their small-scale furniture, which should work for my small living room. I am loving a yellow, brown and gray color scheme. I have my eye on the Paidge sofa. Isn't it cute? At 72.5"w x 38.5"d x 34.5"h., I think it would fit well in my home's small 20 foot x 10 foot living Continue reading...

Living Room Ideas

October 10, 2013 By Lauren

collage, PicMonkey, living room, furniture

For years, I have been trying to figure out what to do with my home’s living room. The long, narrow room leads from my home’s front door to the kitchen and the family room in my open-concept home. Since the room is a main thoroughfare in my home, I haven’t wanted to block the flow of traffic with furniture. So, I've been searching for small living room ideas. Plus, when my kids were tots, the carpeted living room space, which is just off the kitchen, was a great place for them to play. (That is why today, two toy chests still sit in the living room.) The only other furniture pieces of Continue reading...

Storage for Kids Rooms

September 10, 2013 By Lauren

This post contains Amazon affilate links. Finding enough storage in children’s bedrooms can be tough, but if you buy furniture and accessories with storage in mind, you should be able to find plenty of storage for kids rooms. My daughters, used to enjoy sharing a room together. (They have since gotten their own rooms.) So, when I chose the children's furniture for their room, I chose children's furniture that would give us the most space as possible for storing their things. Their room is fairly large, but not that big, considering that we must fit two twin beds in there, a dresser, Continue reading...

Last month, I shared photos of my friend Christine's fabulous dining room turned craft room. I think her new craft room design is just amazing! I received a lot of questions about her beautiful craft room design, so I asked her if she could spill some more details. Being the awesome person that she is, of course she gave me more info about her room renovation, as well as some great photos! Before and After Considering all the great textures and vibe in her craft room design, I was totally surprised to see her craft room's before picture. Can you believe that her craft room Continue reading...

Glam Party Room

The other day, my daughters went to a fun party with friends at a local place called Pinky Toes Party Palace in Robbinsville, NJ. At the party, they got manicures and pedicures, had a mini tea party (and learned some tea-time etiquette) and danced with their friends. The party place had the cutest decor! I loved the cute dining table that the party place set up for the kids (below). I thought the simple but cute covers on the chairs are adorable. I love the black painted walls up top and the cool flowers painted on the walls. The glamorous chandelier is also a fun Continue reading...

Mom Home Guide House Tour

March 21, 2013 By Lauren

I just love looking at online house tours of other mom bloggers' homes. One house tour I recently saw was that of blogger Jenna from SAS Interiors. I just love how beautiful her home looks, from her tidy and clutter-free foyer, to her modern kitchen with beautiful wood floors to the serene master bedroom. I wish my home was so masterfully designed! To me, my home is a work in progress. Over the past few months, I've completed a few home improvements, like making our home's mudroom/foyer area more functional, creating a fun study/media/play space for the kids and adding Continue reading...
