Creating a Dress-Up Play Closet {The Forever Home Project}
A dress-up closet is such a great creativity tool for kids. Unfortunately, not many of us have the space to create one in our homes. Today Julee is sharing her tips for maximizing your kids' closet space to create a hybrid dress-up/regular clothes closet and I'm totally smitten with the results. We just removed the doors from S's closet and replaced them with curtains to free up some space in her room and give her better accessibility. I think our next move will be to incorporate some … [Read more...]

The Forever Home Project: Dining Room Update & $250 Giveaway
Along with buying gifts and getting the holidays cards done and out the door, a big part of this season is getting your home spruced up and looking it's best - especially if you'll be hosting Christmas dinner. I've been working on just that around here lately. Along with hanging the garland and putting out some poinsettias, I've also turned my attention to the spot where our guests will be feasting; the dining room. I showed you our new table, chairs, and hutches in my last Forever Home … [Read more...]

The Forever Home Project: Dining Room Update
Happy Monday guys. We spent the weekend finally entertaining in the new house and it felt so great. We had three families over, 7 adults and 8 kids in all.

I've been fortunate to score some major deals lately and we finally have the house furnished enough to accommodate … [Read more...]
The Forever Home Project: Decorating a Completely Empty Space
I had to laugh when Julee emailed to say this was the topic she wanted to tackle for her next contribution to The Forever Home Project. Why? Because we've been experiencing the same dilemma of having to start from scratch in our new dining room, seeing as how it's the first (and likely only) dining room we'll ever have - we have no furniture for it. I was super excited to see how she was tackling the challenge and to pick up some tips. Julee didn't disappoint, either - I loved her process and … [Read more...]
