Ahhhhh wallpaper. For the last few years it's been threatening to make a comeback (again). Seen in design firms and high-end homes for years, wallpaper is making its way into the mainstream design world. With great designs and easy-to-remove options wallpaper is a win for everyone. As for me, I've taken the wallpaper plunge before and now that I am working on my powder bath, I've spent countless hours looking for the perfect paper. Along the way, I have found wallpapers that absolutely made a room. I saw hundreds of papers in all colors, shapes and style and am sharing my top 13 times wallpaper killed it.

I am a huge fan of wainscoting. Heck, who am I kidding - I am a huge fan of all trim. Trim is a quick and easy way to add instant character to any home. I took to Pinterest searching for unique and interesting wainscoting ideas and am sharing my top 16 with you!

Good morning everyone! I know I didn't announce it (because I'm not a big birthday person) but yesterday was my 38th birthday. 38 years. If you would have told me at I would be here at 38, I wouldn't have believed  you. You see, my dad died of leukemia when he was 38. My ex-husband's mom died of cancer at 38. One of my best friend's husband has Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer - and he is 38.

I'm not normally a wall sconce kind of girl but I really liked it. It wasn't terribly overpriced so I went ahead and bought it thinking it would look great in the dining room. And then I got home. I'm not sure where I thought I was going to put it since there is so little actual wall space in the dining room. I looked at my hubs with a puzzled look and said "I wish I could hang it in the corner."

Believe it or not, I've been refinishing furniture since I was about 10. Most weekends you could find me in the garage working on some family heirloom my mom had acquired. It was all good, though, because I really did enjoy it. And now, 27 years later, I can give you a few of my quick tips and things I've learned along the way.

Good morning and happy Friday! Today we are talking about "things." Everybody has a "thing" that they don't like, but usually have to deal with. For me, it is paper towel holders. I don't like looking at them. I know, it's silly, but it's my "thing".

Whether you have a stand alone range or a cooktop and wall ovens, there is no other appliance in the home that gets as dirty as the oven and stove. Unless you eat fast food for every meal, or live off of cereal, you've no doubt dealt with dirty burners and drips between your oven glass. Luckily, the internet is full of tips and tricks to get your oven and stove looking great again. 

Like the dishwasher, the washer and dryer are one of the most used appliances in our homes. They take those nasty workout clothes and food-covered kid's clothes and turn them back into the sparkling gems we bought at the store. After time, though, they begin to stink (washer) or take longer to dry our clothes. With a bit of cleaning, you can have them back in working order in no time. 

Now that you have settled back into your regular routine it's time to focus on getting the rest of your home back in order. If you are like me, one of the things you tend to overlook are appliances. Sure, you wipe them down and keep the outside clean, but what about the inside? When you open your fridge are there still memories of meals past? Is your dishwasher giving you dishes not much cleaner than they went in? In this weekly feature, I will share the web's best tips to get your appliances in their best working order. I challenge each of you to tackle each week's project and systematically work your way to a cleaner home.

When it comes to organization, I have found that sometimes the best solution comes in unexpected places. A while back, I picked up the Stodja flatware tray from Ikea hoping to organize my kitchen drawer.
