Sometimes I get the urge to find a little treasure. I will swing by Goodwill once a month and just hope to find something that catches my eye. I'm a sucker for all things school. You can take the girl out of the classroom, but not the classroom out of the girl. Or something like that. Desks, globes, chalkboards, rulers, books-- I love them all. Last trip, I found this desk and snatched it up immediately. I didn't know what to do with it. For now it is an end table in the ...

Storing Toys & Maintaining Style
Last week I shared some spaces in our home that are full of my things. Surfaces styled and beautiful to me. I, however, happen to live in a home with three small children. We LIVE in our home.

Pottery Barn Inspired Baskets

Spruced Up Living Room & New Arrangement
Call it spring fever, or extreme nesting or in this case---just being me, but I had the urge to change things up. It isn't always about one being better than the other, but just needing something new. Kind of like a hair cut. Sometimes you just need a change.
