A Farmhouse Kitchen

By

The weekend has come and gone and nothing has been done to my “Command Center.”  I hope to get to some paint touch up this afternoon. So instead of showing you what I have accomplished over the weekend, {meaning nothing to share!} I thought I’d share with you some “After” pictures of the kitchen I […]

Command Central Update

By

 “Command Central” is moving along! I first wrote about the next project on my own home’s to-do list here and here. As I mentioned before, we desperately need a place to drop all our bags, shoes, etc. and a place to keep all our little “extras” {hats, sunscreen, etc.} and mail when it comes in.  The […]

I heard about it earlier in the day from Jen at iheartorganizing because she was […]

A Few Hidden Gems

By

I hope everyone had a great weekend! We got back from a week in the bay area and have been playing some catch up around here. I planned on writing a different post today, but got side tracked with some de-cluttering and organizing.  On my quest to accomplish giving away 40 bags in 40 days, […]
