This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Kohler for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. We started our kitchen remodel completely on accident. We needed to fix a wall, which led to a new backsplash, which led to talk about extending the backsplash, painting cabinets, adding a window, and putting in a new faucet. Of all of those things, choosing a new faucet has proven the most difficult. The faucet that came with the house was outdated and broken. We're a family of six, so a ... Read More

Subway Tile Backsplash with Stainmaster Glamour Grout
**This post contains sponsored content. All opinions are my own.** When I was originally thinking about what to do with a batch of Glamour Grout, I was going to put it in the girls' bathroom. They all love blue and glitter and it would be out of Scott's daily line of sight. When I received the product, though, we were chatting about some of our bigger wish list projects and, as usual, our kitchen came up. We have agreed on putting up a tile backsplash for a long time now, but we wanted ... Read More
Rainbow Painted Kitchen Set
We've been on an ongoing mission to make our house lighter, brighter, and more colorful. While we're doing that, we need to make sure it's kid-friendly. Our kitchen is dark and we're limited on what we can do with it right now (i.e. we can't replace the current black granite countertops at the moment), but during a wander at IKEA, the perfect kitchen table jumped out at us and we couldn't pass it up. With a bit of paint, our kitchen has become a much happier place. We weren't looking for ... Read More

The most difficult part of settling into any kitchen we've had is figuring out how to store our pots and pans. It doesn't matter how much space we have--they always seem to end up in a jumbled and bulky mess. When I'm looking for organization tips, I always head over to Hometalk and I'm always inspired. This holds true for finding ways to store your pots and pans. I think pots and pans storage is something that most of us struggle with at some point and I'm loving the ideas I found. Our ...

Decorate your Dorm with Wallternatives
It's no secret that I'm madly in love with Wallternatives and today I have another fun use for them. I loved my college years, but I struggled with how to decorate my dorm room. We couldn't use nails or put up anything that would damage the walls. It couldn't be permanent. If Wallternatives had existed back then (in the dark ages!), I would have been set. I can't imagine college without coffee, so I decided to share a quick and easy way to fancy up your coffee station using the But First, ... Read More
Kitchen Desk Update
I've been wanting to start updating our kitchen since we moved in. It's totally functional, but it's kinda boring and outdated. We have a built in kitchen desk that really needed some personality and I wanted it to be a comfortable place to work. So that you have a point of reference, here's what we started with. The old radio system panel was crooked, clunky, and just plain ugly. The light was velcroed onto the cabinet. Sometimes I really wonder about the previous owners! I ... Read More
