How to Hack a Bigger Dining Table for Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is coming up here in the US, and that means family and friends gathering together to feast! We are hosting this year and we need a bigger dining table to seat our guests — but our table doesn’t have a leaf we can add to extend the table length. So instead, we asked ourselves […]
The Quickest and Easiest Way to Hang Shelves and Hooks for a Family Organization Center
Do you ever consider hanging stuff on your walls only to chicken out because of all the tools and things you have to collect just to hang anything? I am a chronic non-wall decorator for this very reason. I just can’t stand the thought of having to go through all the hassle of finding anchors, […]
Simple Countertop Towel Ladder and Utensil Organizer
In every kitchen the countertop space is valuable real estate! Recently friend of mine suggested a play on the well known quilt ladder, but for hand towels. This idea solved a problem for me. We used to have a dish washer with a front handle, and that is where we kept our towels to dry […]

As I mentioned in our Halloween decor roundup post this morning — we LOVE Halloween!

Starting to Organize Our Workshop
We have a bit of a personal problem. It is being addicted to remodeling… and it spills over into our garage in a very horrible way! The truth is, since we moved back to Utah 6 or so years ago, we have been actively remodeling 3 separate homes non-stop. DIY remodeling a house takes A […]
Fall Mantel at our House
This year, in partnership with Shaw Floors, I am joining a fall home tour… and I hate to disappoint, but for me that means the front room. The rest of my house is torn up at the moment… (remember ripping things out is my thing…#remodelaholic) If you are itching to see an amazing whole home […]

Basement stuff…
The basement in our house is about 1400+ square feet. It is a decent size, if a little short (only 7′ ugh!) The spaces are large though… It’s basically split into four rooms -a storage room, family room, and two bedrooms. Each space is large but not equally proportioned. Originally when we walked into […]
