I’m a big fan of home design furniture solutions that are multi-purpose, functional and aesthetically pleasing. The Northwoods Calliger company is a home goods brand who sells a versatile multi purpose trash/laundry cabinet on Amazon.

Mother’s day is Sunday. If mom is a coffee or tea drinker I’ve got you covered for a great gift idea! The Ember mug. Rick bought me this mug for my 50th birthday and I first thought, “do I really need another blue tooth enabled electronic gadget and app to figure out?” After using the …
Jenna is a junior at the University of Louisville. She lives at home and commutes to school so she spends a lot of time in her bedroom. After she saw how amazing Libby’s room refresh turned out (check out the blog on Libby’s room refresh HERE). Jenna gave me the green light to update her …
This may be one of the easier DIY projects I’ve put together and shared. In terms of getting the biggest bang for your buck, this IKEA desk hack is a DIY for a beginner! The desk for two (or three) is at the top (it’s both easy to assemble and inexpensive). Only three parts are …
