In the blink of an eye, we’re already at two years in our home. The first year was spent getting settled and working on a ton of projects. While we continued projects into this year, our home has evolved to accommodate our precious baby! Not a day goes by that I am not super grateful… Read more »
New year, new closet? Yes, we kicked off January with plans to remodel the master closet! Back in November I already started thinking about this next project, and now we’re officially getting it started! Two weekends ago we had a consultation with California Closets.

Got a lot of stuff done today! To start with, Joshua repainted the entryway. It was a lighter color before (same as the dining room and hallway), but I wanted a dark contrast after falling in love with the dark color used on my hallway stripes. After that, I tidied up the house while he… Read more »
Last weekend I began one of my New Year’s resolutions for the house: seriously organize the hall closet and turn it into a pantry. The first couple weeks of a new quarter at school are like the calm before the storm, so I wanted to get going on this before I got too busy again…. Read more »
About two weeks ago this picture popped up in my Google Reader from Re-Nest. It’s part of their Living with Less series, where each week they’re tackling a different aspect of cutting down clutter and simplifying life.
