❤️ Figuring It Out...


2 minute read

Hi Reader!

Last week, I revealed that we moved into a new home about three months ago (surprise!)

I also shared that we had about three days to get everything moved from one house to the other.

That didn’t give us a lot of time to hem and haw over what was going to go where. Thankfully, since we’ve now moved so many times, I have some reliable tricks to help me figure out room layouts before we even get the keys.

I often get asked about our move-in process, so I wanted to share these room layout tools with you.

(But take heart…I still get it wrong sometimes. On this move, I couldn’t get one space right until the third try!)

Sneak Peek

When we were figuring out the furniture placement in our new eat-in kitchen, we made the unconventional decision to completely block a window. Next week, I'll explain why and how we pulled it off!

Behind the Scenes

Summer has started for my kids, and it didn't take long for our wide open days to devolve into chaos.

On the recommendation of a friend, I finally caved and bought a Skylight Calendar. Have you tried one?

It's a little too early to say for sure, but I'm SUPER impressed with the Chores/Routines/Rewards functionality; and it might, quite literally, save my sanity this summer!

See you next week!

5 minute read Hi Reader! Over on the blog, I'm diving deep into HDX boxes. You know…those black and yellow bins (well, now in other colors too!) that have seemingly taken over every home improvement store, garage, and campsite. We went ALL IN on these bins for our garage storage and learned a ton in the process. If you’ve been wondering if these bins are worth the hype, here’s everything you’ll want (and need!) to know before you make the switch! See It: Everything You Want (& Need!) to Know...

5 minute read Hi Reader! I am so excited to share today’s project with you. Because while it may seem like I crank out project after project with ease, very few come together flawlessly and exactly as I imagined. In our new home, I had a huge wall and only one frame to put on it. So it was time to get creative. This wall project was quick. It was easy. It was affordable. And it was wholly transformative in all the best ways! Read It: Filling a Big Wall with a Single Frame More Like This...

2 minute read Hi Reader! As I’ve been recounting the details of all our recent moves (4 in the last 5 years), there is one question I’ve been getting a lot lately: “Surely, the landlord (or next tenants!) must appreciate your changes! Why do you always take everything apart?” Unfortunately, over our 20+ years of being renters, we’ve been able to leave behind only a very few of our projects. In this month's Coffee Break, I’m breakdown why and sharing how it doesn’t really stop me from doing...
