the “catch all” nook…

Have you ever thought of the most random thing ever and then you try and figure out the thought trail it took for you to get to the most random thought ever?  My over-creative brain is almost always all over the place and I seem to do this way too often.  In fact, this blog post came from the absolute most random thought trail ever…  So I was planning on doing a wallpaper post for today.  And then I was making a joke in my head about how you’d have to hide in a closet to not see some form of wallpaper in our home.  And then I remembered that actually won’t work either!   We have a closet that is wallpapered!  “Hey, I should blog about said closet!”  So here we are…

Entry Closet 7L

As you may know by now, I love to design.  I am in love with design.  I am obsessed with design.  My home is my canvas and I am obsessed with making things beautiful.   It’s just so fun, so relaxing and such an outlet for me that not even a coat closet is safe from my designing self.  There are so many fun little areas in our home that I have yet to share and today I am doing just that.  You see, when you enter our home from the garage, we have had a little coat closet.  Let’s be honest folks… the probability of any one of my family members coming home, opening up a door, taking down a hanger and hanging a coat is about zero.  Is there such thing as a negative probability?

Although our home is “fancy” and funky and all of those kinds of things, it’s actually super functional.  Shocking, huh?  I love to think of ways that we really use our home and design around reality.  And the reality is, we like easy organization.  If it isn’t easy, we won’t do it.  So I decided to transform this coat closet into a bit of a catch all for everything we bring in from school, work, errands, etc.

Entry Closet 2L

First, we removed the door and patched/painted the holes from the hinges.  Next, I used extra wallpaper from our powder room to cover the back wall of the closet.  And yes, I still have yet to blog a bathroom.  I PROMISE that is coming soon!  Finally, I hung organizational baskets and hooks for every possible thing we would carry in the door.  Oh and then I had to top it all off with this amazing canvas to beautify the space even more.

P.S.  I apologize these photos are super edited and grainy.  I really try and minimally edit most everything I post but this “closet” is in an awkward, tight and very dark spot that is rather difficult to photograph.  May also be one reason I have yet to blog it too!
Entry Closet 3L

Within this new little nook, both my girls have a spot for their homework, artwork, school papers, etc.  My husband and I each have a cubby on the left side wall as well as another spot for bills.  Since I try really super hard to encourage everyone to remove their shoes, we have a big ol’ basket for shoes.  Seeing as though we can all literally kick them off as soon as we enter the house, there are no room for excuses!  And finally, on the right wall, there are four hooks for coats, umbrellas, diaper bags and everything in between.  Hope you enjoy our little “catch all nook!”

Green is my new blue... I've loved all things blue Green is my new blue... I've loved all things blue in my design work for so so long but this cabin has turned the tides for me and now it's all things GREEN! #sponsored From the tone on tone green to the colorful textural reflections in our @7levelhome custom metal frame glass cabinet doors. What is your favorite feature in our new kitchen?

A little Back to School "surprise" for Winnie... h A little Back to School "surprise" for Winnie... her very own little dressing area! #ad And a little hint hint for her to lay out her clothes the night before 😉 As y'all may have seen on my stories a few weeks back, I was deciding between two fun ideas during the C<span style="background-color: rgb(234, 212, 107);">reative Co-Op </span>#amazonprimeday and got y'all to vote. This full length mirror, pouf and ladder setup was the winner and my personal fave. Here's a peek at how it all came together and also take a peek at the Creative Co-Op brand store on Amazon for more decor like this!
I’ve had this image pinned for YEARS NOW! And af I’ve had this image pinned for YEARS NOW! And after finally finding and then whitewashing two tables at an antique store a few months back, I decided to bring my inspo to life! And dust off quite a few of John’s things as well from his architecture books to his dad’s antique rail car lantern along with some of our travel finds to make it OURS. I’ve never loved a tv console more 💗💗💗
How does that saying go... “Curtains are a girl' How does that saying go... “Curtains are a girl's best friend?? 🤣💗 I cannot say enough great things about how the windows turned out in my bathroom thanks to @calicocorners. I
searched high and low for the perfect window treatments in this space and I wish I would have known how easy it was to order from Calico's quick ship program earlier!  Oh and also, I don't have to take a shower in the dark anymore to spare the neighbors 😅😂

John and I took my love for all things colorful, m John and I took my love for all things colorful, meaningful and beautiful and married it with his functional, plant loving style for an outdoor kitchen styling makeover 💗 #ad Feels so cozy now that I just might start cooking dinner out here! Well… maybe once the Fall weather hits 😉 Sharing lots of affordable @walmart finds for the perfect indoor or outdoor space right here… #Walmart #WalmartHome

The most satisfying project EVERRRR 💗 #ad When The most satisfying project EVERRRR 💗 #ad When I opened the girl’s “art closet” last week to find a piece of luggage, I think the entire closet almost came tumbling down on top of me 🤦🏻‍♀️ With school starting next week, rather than imploding, I decided to get my girlies to help with a few organizational projects with the help of the CUTEST new Home Edit organizational finds at @walmart Winnie and I got to work yesterday and I think I’ve now peeked inside the completed closet no less than ten times already to relish in the beauty of the labeled bins 😉 Oh and I also detailed sizes for each bin in this video to visually help you with all of the online options. Sharing everything I used in this project right here… #Walmart #WalmartHome

Double Tap if you’re “Team Still Images” 🙋🏻‍♀️ Don’t worry… I absolutely am ♥️ It’s just been a while since I’ve actually gotten out my camera and photographed a space. Everything seems to be in every phase except completion. Except this space which incorporates every single thing I love in design… color, pattern, texture, warmth, meaningful touches and a piece of history…
