Day Four :: Get Your Home Decluttered in 28 Days
Okay, we have tackled the front entryway outside and inside, and our laundry room. But you can take your time and take more than a day or two (or week) to tackle each room. You know what needs to get done in your house so take your time – we are just making suggestions. But summertime is the perfect time to take advantage of the nice weather and get things in your home the way you have visualized (for me it has been months and months!). Especially if the kids are in school (mine went back early) or are in summer camps – this can help free up some of your…

Day Three :: Get Your Home Decluttered in 28 Days
Image courtesy of @Disney August 4th, 2014 “Find inspiration all around you from doorknobs to clocks to everything between” ~ @Disney This is so true! You can find inspiration to redecorate (and declutter) your house just about anywhere! I think that is why we all love Pinterest so much – there is so much to look at and get inspired by. I have a board just for things I dream about having – like a Hans Wegner Wishbone Chair or Eames Lounge Chair! A girl can dream! Today let’s work on the room that we usually don’t like going into – probably because we do a “chore” in there most every day. …

Day Two :: Get Your Home Decluttered in 28 Days
Today we will work on the front entryway – inside the home. Yesterday we worked on the front doorstep – raked leaves, pine needles, and cleaned things up front so when you come home the first thing you see is a shiny and clean front area. If you are inclined, why not get some inexpensive flowers at Home Depot or Lowe’s and plant them next to your door so they are the first thing you see when you leave the house and when you come back to the house. I really believe this sets the tone for your day! With this in mind – let’s do the front entryway inside…

Day One :: Get Your Home Decluttered in 28 Days
A few weeks back I had a friend come by who helped me rearrange my living area to be more open and inviting. She brought along a good friend of hers, Paul, who was visiting with his family from Ireland. She had told he had a knack for visualizing spaces and offered to help! I was game as I had wanted to rearrange our living area but didn’t know where to start. As they both set in to rearrange our living space, I started to look at our home with new eyes. He moved the table that we had set up for my daughter to use and play her LEGO’s on (yes, the container remained in our…

Instagram of the Day :: Japanese Paper Mache Mask
The past couple weeks we have been doing a major decluttering and redecorating. I plan to do a post about how we can “redo” our homes without buying anything! One of the changes we made was move this Japanese paper mache mask from a spot that it was relatively unappreciated to front and center on our kitchen wall. When I look at this mask, I remember sitting in a small Japanese restaurant in Hamamatsu City (known for their amazing eel) with a friend and mentioning how much I loved the small mask. She said something to the sushi chef and next thing I know, he is taking it off the…

DIY Ideas for an Awesome Minecraft Party!
Each year my daughter and I talk about what type of theme she wants to have for her upcoming birthday party. Granted, we usually talk about the theme she wants right after her last party so we can prepare and think about it all year long! Yes, we get very excited about these parties and I have found Pinterest to be such a great resource. When she told me she wanted to have a Minecraft theme I set up a board, Kate’s 8th Minecraft Party, on Pinterest so I could pin all the fun ideas I came across on Pinterest throughout the year. About three weeks ago, she…
