Our main closet got a makeover and it’s so much better! I replaced the wire shelves with melamine, wallpapered the ceiling, changed the lights and the outlets and it’s such a great improvement!

Making Over a Closet With Wallpaper

One area that needed some attention in the kids shared room was their closets. I needed to address the storage needs but also wanted these closets to be something fun and colorful in the room.

Louisa received two dolls for Christmas and both came with maaaaaany outfits and accessories. She had some in a bag and some in a bin and some on the floor and it just wasn’t working. For anyone. I was able to use scrap lumber to make this cute little doll clothes closet and she is THRILLED!

DIY Canvas Mudroom Storage Bags

Psssst... this post *might* contain affiliate links: see my disclosure here.

January 9, 2020

Our rental has a mudroom. And to be fair, it had a good amount of space. Buuut, there were a few things that didn’t work as well for our gang. 1. The hooks were too high for all the kids. 2. The hooks were installed sideways which affected their functionality. 3. We used the space under the bench for shoes, which meant there really wasn’t anywhere else to store the “extras”.

How a Professional Organized My Craft Supplies

Psssst... this post *might* contain affiliate links: see my disclosure here.

August 23, 2019

I’ve never worked with an organizer, and frankly never considered the value of one given that I’m fundamentally somewhat organized myself. But folks… my mind has changed. There is NO way I could have accomplished what Emily and her team did and I’m a convert!

You know that moment when the kids walk in the hou You know that moment when the kids walk in the house after school and instantly every cabinet and snack container and pantry drawer is wide open? #ad A constant quest in the Smith house is how to take the edge off after school hunger without spoiling their appetite for dinner. I partnered with @greengiant to see whether their line of frozen Veggie Fries® and Veggie Rings® would do the trick and... folks, the kids loved them! Notice that I said v-e-g-g-i-e. That's short for VEGETABLE! In other words, this might be the greatest snack hack of all time. If you're looking for a way to add more vegetables to your life, these easy to prep veggie snacks were given two thumbs up by the Smith kids. (All five of them!) #GreenGiant
I wasn’t planning on tackling my big garage floo I wasn’t planning on tackling my big garage floors this week, but then I checked the weather and realized I needed to just... START. I’m SUPER intimidated by this one because it has such a large scope. So many steps. And staring at a garage filled to the BRIM with stuff felt real overwhelming. So a few weeks ago I took my first bite and ordered the stuff to help me organize the space. That helped a lot because for the first time in months I could see the floor. (Which was the thing that needed to be painted.) To start on the floor, I had to move everything out. Not necessarily easy, but it required zero thought. Move the stuff from Point A to Point B. That’s not too hard. Before I can do anything about the paint, I knew I needed to clean the floor. So I swept. And then I blew out the dust. And then I power washed. Was it a lot of work? Sure. But it wasn’t scary work. It wasn’t so intimidating anymore. All of a sudden this really BIG project became something I could manage because I started to experience it as lots of smaller projects. Stay tuned for all the small steps that will make my one big garage project happen! What’s a big project you’re intimidated by but know you need to take on eventually?

Today’s project is a double whammy. I got to try Today’s project is a double whammy. I got to try my hand at infomercialling by spilling all sorts of gnarly things onto this @cryptonfabric from @joann_stores (soy sauce… ketchup... highlighter… crayon) and then showing you how they magically clean up. (For real… they totally did! 🤯) But then I ALSO got to go thrifting and found a table to transform into an upholstered ottoman. This seat is sturdy enough for the kids to climb all over. It’s durable enough for the kids to climb all over. And it’s chic enough that I’m happy to have it in our family room for the kids to climb all over! I love how this turned out and am always grateful for colorful useful decor that is also practical for our family! Win win win win!! #handmadewithjoann #sponsored
Things are hopping over here! Shared a bit of our Things are hopping over here! Shared a bit of our vision for the exterior today in my stories. Doors, painting, lights, corbels... It’s an investment but it’s also going to be such a big improvement! Also note that 2 minutes after I took this picture I fiddled with one of the bricks and now 1/2 of one step has been taken apart so if anyone local knows a mason... looks like we need one. Sharing a fun project with you tomorrow as well as a peek at my next big room makeover! Also feeling like it’s time for a phone upgrade but putting that off for another day because... money. Mondays I tell ya.... wowzas.

I DID IT!!! I remembered to get a family photo aft I DID IT!!! I remembered to get a family photo after our neighborhood egg hunt and I’ve been feeling smug ever since. Arthur wore his fanciest soccer shorts just for the occasion. Not that anyone’s keeping track but the current cupcake count in our house is 41 since two of the kids decided to bake. Breakfast was pixie sticks (thank you Easter bunny) and I’m about to go up and watch more of @hgtv ’s old White Room challenge episodes. That’s a show I’d love to be on!! Hope everyone had a wonderful day and don’t feel like I’m unrelatable now that I got a family photo.
