I don’t know about you, but during the week between Christmas and New Years I tackled all of the boys toys and I did a lot of organizing. I put baby toys into storage for our maybe we’ll have a 3rd baby at some point and then sorted some extra toys to go to the grandparents houses and a donate pile as well. That still left us overflowing with toys. It seems like everyone is in the same mindset, because I have gotten a handful of inquiries on designing playrooms this week!
We don’t have a ton of extra space in our playroom/family room so, a new piece of furniture isn’t in the cards, but I need to do something. I love using storage totes or baskets for toys. I have them sprinkled in my living room and no one even knows they have toys! I normally pick up chic laundry hamper’s from HomeGoods. They have a lid and people are always surprised when my boys get into them and take out a million and one toys.
In my hunt this time around I found paper bag storage bags and I’m smitten!

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
In our new home, the basement was completely unfinished. It was literally one of those dark spaces that you see in horror movies and are terrified of getting locked into. However, with the square footage in this house, I knew I needed to make the basement another workable and liveable floor of the house instead […]
The time has come to finally share our new kitchen reveal. For those of you that have been with us from the beginning, we bought a house right before the pandemic hit. It was a total gut job from top to bottom. We started our demo and then the world shut down. Enter the delays […]
Picking out paint colors for a new home can be overwhelming. I find that many times when I meet with a new client the entire house is simply just painted white or a light gray. Now, I think there is a time and place for those colors, but with paint, there is just so much […]

However, the second most expensive part of a […]

So, when it comes time to design a kitchen I always like to partner with a kitchen designer to make sure I’m remembering […]
