    Hi Melissa – All of these things are so ‘do-able’ and really do give your home a fresh pickup. I wanted to let you know that I recently bought and read your wonderful book and I enjoyed it thoroughly. It is very inspirational and motivating. Love the ‘yes I can’ attitude it gave me!
    Have a Lovely Day,

      Apparently, I had a senior moment when I posted my comment. My book compliment was intended for ‘The Nester’ and I somehow managed to mix up your blog with hers. You both have beautiful blogs and wonderful decor ideas, so I am assuming that is the reason for my mistake. Sorry for the mixup.

    Cool! It doesn’t take much to do just one of these projects a week …

    So … why do we keep putting these life-savers off?

    ;-}

    Will you please come over and organize my tools? For some reason it is the one place that I just can’t bring myself to tackle. Ugh! It looks so nice and tidy at your place!

    Would love to know the name of the white and grey paint used in the “paint something”.

      Hi Ann! The gray is Kendall Charcoal by Benjamin Moore, and the trim is Dove White by Benjamin Moore. The wall paint is Studio Taupe by Behr.

    I love how you always keep it nice ,neat , simple ,and REALISTIC ! I enjoy your blog because you do not shy away from revealing some of your clutter before you’re putting a project together or it happened because you were enjoying with your family. Your blog makes me feel that I do not need to go high end to attain the classy look !

    De-cluttering a drawer always makes me feel better about my house. It’s a simple thing, and doesn’t take much time. Love the look of pretty drawer organizers!

    Your home always inspires me to “freshen” mine :)

    I enjoy your blog very much. What is the “silver” trim around the bathroom sink and mirror. Is it tile? I am redoing a bathroom and that may be something I can put between the wall mirror and counter top.

    I love your gray painted front door. I painted my interior and exterior a gorgeous turquoise color, but want to tone down the indoor side of it. May have to try gray as it and turquoise are abundant shades in my home. Your home is beautiful!

    When I saw your painted door I fell in love! We recently added a small entry way and dining room onto our home. I walked into Sherwin Williams, didn’t even look at paint colors and asked for a quart of Kendall Charcoal to be mixed. I painted my new doors and they are gorgeous! Thank you for the inspiration!
