I was sadly delusional when I was on maternity leave. I thought that I would get a ton of my little projects done and a lot of spaces would be transformed. That  SO did not happen. That's when I have to remind myself that I was a tiny bit busy taking care of a baby and shuttling around two other kiddos to and from school and their myriad of activities. :)   So, the other day we had a 3 day weekend. (Note: This 3 day weekend was more than a month ago now... I've been working on this post since then when I can fit it in between my insane work hours.)  I surprisingly did not have any work to do. Needless to say, I turned into a crazy woman and tried to do as much as possible.   Here's a sneak peak at a project that I am working on in my closet area/dressing room.     I picked up the armoire from Restoration Hardware to store some of my bags and shoes.

Hello there! For those of you who celebrated Thanksgiving last week, I hope you had a lovely holiday.  One of my favorite people, my sister, made it out to spend the holiday with us and I was BEYOND happy.  I also overexerted myself by trying to cook a gazillion side dishes and a dessert.  I made a sweet potato casserole, creamed spinach, butternut squash soup, brussels sprouts, stuffing, cranberry sauce,  cranberry relish and chocolate dipped coconut macaroons.  I think that's it.... yes that's it. So needless to say, I am still EXHAUSTED and didn't use the time to rest up at all, but c'est la vie. Aunty Amby with her favorite guys    I originally thought that we would be hosting Thanksgiving at our house. Images of tablescapes danced in my head.     Table setting via Martha Stewart     Only thing, there were a few things working against us.   No dining room table or chairs. ...

Closets are SO important.  We put a bid on a house during our recent house search.  Though we loved the house, there was one problem- closet space.  The master bedroom had only one small closet.  It had barely enough room for one person, let alone two people to share, and there were no alternate closets in another room that one of us could use.  If you're going to move out of the city- and an apartment that actually has good closet space-you need to have ample closets.  Needless to say, the deal on the other house fell through and instead we found OUR house.  Hooray!  Though there is only one closet in our master bedroom, and it isn't huge, there is a dressing area down the hall with two closets and a shoe closet that I have decided to take over. Yeah! Finally! A girl's dreams CAN come true!  :) So, now we have to deal with redoing the closets. Let's start off with the closet in the master bedroom: Clo...
