This Summer will be fun and simple. Let’s host parties with minimal budgets. Let’s give our out-of-town visitors an experience that only feels like it took forever to plan. Let’s organize our workspaces to run more efficiently and save time. Let’s do it all while maintaining a healthy lifestyle that nourishes our bodies and our minds. Is it possible? Let’s see.

Each product promises the same thing – natural cleaning that rivals the old-school methods. But can they really live up to the hype? I don’t know, to be honest. I’ve never tried them. And here’s why: I can make a truly natural cleaning product that lasts months, leaves my home smelling amazing, and costs only pennies right here in my own kitchen! So why would I spend $10 on a bottle of hope? 

My first advice for anyone who is looking to create a calming space is to fight the temptation to load it with her favorite colors. I love navy blue, but my current bedroom (pictured at the very top of the post) is entirely neutral. This keeps the space feeling light and airy and doesn’t pull the eye in any single direction. Instead, the mind is allowed to ease itself as the white and light taupe tones engulf you.

Hey guys! So, that picture might be a little deceiving. It kind of seems like I’m saying I don’t like Serena & Lily or wouldn’t buy their stuff and that couldn’t be further from the truth. I but their products all the time. And I love them! Unfortunately, every project has a budget and my budget for this dining room was well under the $3,000 I would have spent on these chairs:

See that smile on my face? I’m so INCREDIBLY HAPPY to finally show you the finished project for my One Room Challenge™ dining room! Ecstatic, in fact. This room has been a true labor of love and I think it’s reflective of my personality and our family’s spirit. It’s fun. It’s formal enough, but the overall vibe screams Come on in! Have a drink!

Hey guys! I’m back with another round of updates for my One Room Challenge dining room project. If you missed the last four weeks, 1. What are you doing with your life? and 2. I forgive you. You can check them out here. Also, if you’d like to get caught up on what everyone else is doing, and I highly recommend you do because there’s some amazing talent on display this season, you can see the most recent posts on the ORC™ official website here. 

Hey guys! Welcome back for another round of the One Room Challenge™: What Have I Gotten Myself Into?! Log. This past week, I’ve been super busy installing what felt like 1,000 rolls of wallpaper but was actually only three. 

Okay, so it’s officially WAYDAY, which Wayfair has dubbed the biggest sales event in Wayfair history. I’ve been up since the wee hours of the morning, scouring the website, finding my favorite deals for you. 

Mother’s Day is right around the corner (we are constantly reminded by every news and media outlet)! I’ve seen a lot of bloggers announcing their favorite gifts for Mom and I thought, Hmm.. I’d like some gifts too. Let me put together my list.
