Sharing a bit of real life with you on the blog today!Things have been in full productionover here lately,with client projects and sign orders,and I think one of the most common questions I get asked is,"Where do all these projects take place?"Allow me to show you!No pretty pictures today folks.Just some real life and some real honesty.And it has to get worse before it can better.So yes, needless to say the house is in desperate need of somecleaning attention.Honestly what I really want you to know is,that while I love a tidy clean space,and decorating it,that's not always the case for us.Things don't always get put back in their spot.Somedays I can clean, and when I move on to the next ...

Especially with keeping everything neutral.I love stacking books to help add height and a layered feel.Fresh blooms always make a difference too!Adding trays are a great way to form a vignette, and make it easy to move when you need to clear the space quickly,or keep it kid friendly ;)Adding ...

Insert "WAH" here!Ok, maybe I should back up first.So last year I mentioned to the hubby I would like to invest in a nice sofa.We only have one main living room,that is our sole place of lounging, hanging out,and entertaining.As well as a playground and main hang out for the kids!We have the IKEA Ektorp, which for lack of better words"Has served it's purpose."The hubs was never really a fan to begin with because he wanted a bigger one,basically the size of a full size bed!I don't get it, if you want to lay in a "bed-sized" sofa to watch tv, put a tv in your room.Well that's how I feel at least :) So he laughed and said not until the kids were older,well here we are a year later, ...

We have been in our house for almost 2 years now,and from the time we moved in I have wanted to spruce up this tiny back hallway.It's long and narrow, and has a coat closet at the end, as well as our back door.The hallway is literally as wide as a door, so there really isn't a whole lot you can do with it,but that doesn't mean you can't make the most of it, and use of it's space.We finally got around to finishing it up recently,and I couldn't wait to share it with all of you!For the time being we had hung up our long coat hook board, until we could afford the materials,as you can imagine, when we first moved in, it wasn't on the top of the priority list.But this simple ...
