White linoleum floors, old orange wood cabinets, beige walls; a perfect “blank” slate for me. Four months–to the day–after we moved in we had “the flood” and got… Read More
Guest Bathroom Makeover, the Reveal!
Today I’m excited to reveal my spare bathroom makeover! It’s been a whirlwind makeover but I’m in love with the way it turned out! Do you remember this post? My bathroom was sad and had no identity.

How to Clean Garbage Disposal
I’ve got a special guest today, please welcome Shari. I stumbled across this post of hers, on how to clean garbage disposal, and I told her she just had to share it with all of you!

I can’t stand the idea of food sitting in there over a period of time or residue that creates odor. I used to buy citrus cleaning tablets that you would drop in and grind away. They worked fine but cost about $8.00 for 20. I… Read More

Spare Bathroom Organization Ideas, Part 1
You all know by now that my home is well organized and a reflection of me. But I have a secret; there is one room in my house that is completely untouched. It’s our spare bathroom. It’s only used by my daughter because our guests use the master bathroom that’s right off the laundry room {I know it’s a weird set up but it’s an old house, what can I say?} We’ve been in our house for almost 2 years and I still haven’t done anything with it!
