You know how I feel about a good laundry room, right? I talked about laundry rooms here and here. Oh, and here. The Project Girl has a number of before and afters I could have shown you, but this laundry room is top on my list. Ugh–I love it! Before– After– How does one choose [...]

Before and After Friday

Chris — Fri, 17 May 2013 10:00:00 +0000

Soooo I’m still trying to work on that goal I set for myself this year. The end of the school year is always my busiest, so I’ve really been trying to focus on blogging better. I used to LOVE doing Feature Friday, but it is more work than you might think. I love sharing things [...]

Mother’s Day Ideas

Chris — Wed, 08 May 2013 00:25:17 +0000

It's fast approaching, folks. For many of us, Mother's Day is that one acknowledgment we get (not that we'd ever need more!) for working so hard all year long. I have high expectations every year, and every year my husband has to run out Sunday morning for "an errand". Ugh.

If your husband (or kids) are anything like mine, perhaps they need a little help in the gift area. Our celebrations range from a homemade card to a gift I (so subtly) hinted about, but this year I'm dreamin'. While the ideas below are specifically items I like, the categories themselves can be quite applicable to all. Let's begin. Read more...

How to Photograph Products

Chris — Mon, 06 May 2013 03:36:46 +0000

I’ve got a bit of an issue with measuring cups. I don’t have display cases full of them or anything, but I have more than I need. They’re just so….pretty. And useful. And I feel good about myself when I buy a new set. I need therapy, I know. But that’s not my point. I [...]

Pantone Color of the Year: Valspar Emerald Green Frame

Chris — Wed, 01 May 2013 14:51:33 +0000

It’s a certain fact that I love paint and the transformation it can bring to different pieces. Lowe’s challenge for me this month was to use Pantone’s 2013 color of the year. That’s an easy one, right? Pantone’s selection can dictate color palettes in fashion and design for the year. Lowe’s sells an exclusive line [...]

If I had to come up with a list of favorite places to shop, World Market would be on it. They have some of the most unique pieces, and I find myself wandering around for way too long just looking at everything. Read more...

Moen Bathroom Faucets {A Giveaway!}

Chris — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 02:00:24 +0000

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Moen, Incorporated. All opinions are 100% mine. We’ve been in our house for ten years now, and I’m pretty sure the appliances and faucets have made arrangements to go on strike. At the same time. Luckily, Moen reached out to me right when the [...]
