Clothes have a way of sticking around and cluttering closets and drawers. This week I attempted to build my very first capsule wardrobe, as the fourth challenge in the December Declutter! Welcome back to the fourth and final week of the December Declutter Challenge! This month I have already completed a Konmari declutter of…
Join me for the third installation of the December Declutter series. This week I attempted a One Room Challenge, deep cleaning one room in our home. Read on to see how I did! Welcome to Week #3 of the December Declutter challenge. During this month, I am tackling various challenges to help us sort through…
It’s Week TWO of my December Declutter Challenge! Follow along as I attempt to speed declutter my house using the 60 in 60 technique! Last week, I decluttered our entire Christmas decoration collection, using the KonMari method. That was an effective technique, and we were left with only our favorites, which made decorating a breeze!…
Join me as I begin a four week decluttering challenge for the month of December. My first challenge is a KonMari declutter of our Christmas decorations. It’s no secret that this time of year gets busy. Extra busy. In years past, we have been right in on the action. Buying all the gifts. Attending…
Around here, we have been… ANTICIPATING the start of a very long winter. The fall has been unseasonably cold already, and we are bracing ourselves. Technically, winter hasn’t even begun! We have seen a little bit of snow, though not too much accumulation. The kids have taken what little snow that has stuck and…
As we work toward simplifying our lifestyle, we have also thought of ways that our future house can be more minimal. We have adopted the following minimalist home ideas for our new build. SIMPLE + SMALL DESIGN The first minimalist home idea that we incorporated in our design is related to the look of the…
The design has a lot of interesting ideas & concepts . The no tv in the main area & no electronic in bedrooms is a very positive step towards spending more time as a family & reading more/ playing board games etc without the distraction . I’m interested in seeing how that works for your family . The minimalist idea is getting to be more popular as we are finally realizing we spend more time with ‘stuff’, cleaning, organizing or worst of all ‘storing’ and not using 🙁 thank you for bringing our attention to that .

This simple table runner is striking, yet inexpensive and easy to make! If you have 30 minutes and a few dollars, your table can be dressed for success! I love staple decorating pieces that can be re-used season after season. To fit that bill for me, they generally need to be neutral and quite basic….
Love this craft ! Simple , yet pretty & functional . I had A ‘light bulb moment’ idea that one could make it as A ‘family craft’ where each placemat could be decorated with drawing from each person or the long table runner have family members write things they are thankful for 🙂 Christmas could be festive drawings etc…. Thank you for always inspiring others to be creative . I always look forward to seeing your posts:)ReplyCancel

Rearranging furniture is a great way to add variety and interest in your home. In this post, I share the living room furniture arrangements I have designed for our cottage. Even as a little girl, I enjoyed rearranging my bedroom furniture to give the space a fresh look. When Craig and I got married, this…
I like to re-arrange every 3. Months ( or more often) . Sometimes removing an accent piece from the room and repurposing a different one from another room . Your room furniture placements are interesting . I would choose first # 1 as I like how all can see the fireplace and I would add a sofa table behind the sofa. My 2nd choice is #3 & I would angle the chairs so a more relaxed look achieved . Have Fun arranging !ReplyCancel
Around here, we have been… EXPERIMENTING with different things. Apparently {M} wanted to try to see what it might be like to be a hairdresser. She grabbed a scissor and cut a big chunk right out of the front of her hair! It’s crazy to think that even though we have 5 children and…
