2017 Holiday Planner

OrganizationOrganization & Cleaning
Written By Maria Lorena

With the Holiday season fast approaching, there's always an increase in activity around our home. Decorating, shopping, and good old family time can sometimes unintentionally create unnecessary stress. 

One of the ways that I avoid holiday stress is by planning. As you may have noticed, I'm a huge fan of planning and organizing. The more prepared and organized that I am, the better I'm able to handle the stress of the holiday season and I feel that I execute my decorating wishes/wants better. Always a win in my book!

I've created a FREE Holiday Planner to help with just that, a way to avoid the holiday stress and enjoy quality time with family and friends. Sign up below to get access to your FREE copy and see just how smooth and enjoyable your 2017 holiday season will be!

Bored with your home decor? I feel you. Ever since I was a little girl, I remember at least twice a year I would get bored with my bedroom and beg my mom to let me rearrange, paint, decorate my space. Thankfully, she was always up for letting me experiment with my room. As I grew up and got my first apartment, I remember spending hours thinking up ways to change up my space. Now that I have my own home, I get to play with my decor all the time

One of the most understated pieces of decor are decorative vases. Not only can they be used to hold your flowers, but also used in the kitchen to decorate your countertops while holding your favorite cooking utensils, or by themselves to add some height and volume to your surface.

As a homebody, my bedroom has always been the spot in our home that I gravitate towards when I just need some time alone or just need to cozy up and relax for a while.  Making this space feel cozy and inviting has always been my goal but with the daily activities of our family and just life in general, it was starting to feel like a forgotten space. So today I'm sharing how I've refreshed our bedroom with pieces that we already owned while getting rid of some that just didn't work for us.

Garage Workout Area + Organization Tips

Since having our little one, we've been wanting a place that we could go to easily go to exercise. We weren't willing to give up room inside the house for our little home gym, so the garage was the only space available. We also wanted to make sure that we would still be able to park both our cars in the garage - with a two car garage, this was no easy feat. Read on to see our finished space!

Ever since I was a little girl I have been fascinated with interior decorating and using my hands to create beautiful things to incorporate in my space.

I believe that making your house a home shouldn’t be a difficult or expensive but exciting and most of all fun! It isn’t about the size or location of your home but about being able to create a space that is yours to fit your budget without sacrificing style.

Having recently purchased our first home, we’ve been busy creating a space that is ours as we blend my and my husband’s styles together. Explore the site to see what we have accomplished!
