the all white kitchen…
So my kitchen underwent a mini makeover. I told you a bit about what I wanted it to look like here. I found a crisp, clean white (I went with Benjamin Moore’s Simply White) that went with my cabinets and moldings and started painting. A couple coats later and my kitchen is bright and cheery. There…
Read Morethe ceramic kitchen sign…
A while back I found a simple ceramic sign at Nordstrom Rack that would be perfect in my kitchen. Don’t you agree? I held off on putting it up for a little while. First of all I couldn’t decide where to put it. Over the doorway, which doorway, on the blank wall, over the sink?…

The last few pieces that I added my own stamp to for my family command center were the menu list, to do list and small cork board… I used the IKEA Nyttja frames again for the menu list and to do list. I would be using them as an dry erase surface. I opened up…

Read MoreWhen your table doesn’t match your kitchen…
Now that the command center and banquette are wrapping up in the kitchen it has really started to come together. I still plan on changing out the pendant light above the table (as well as moving its’ location a bit). I’d like to build a table as well. This has been the plan all along.…
Read MoreDIY dry erase calendar…
In order to add calendars to my family command center I needed a couple things. First of all I was looking for a large enough calendar. With three kids I wanted them all to see what I was writing without using a 3 pt font. I wanted two months at a time each on a…
