This month is all about Simplifying Life & Home. The temperature is dropping and it's time to prepare for the cold, winter weather. That means finishing up painting projects to clear out the garage. This week I was able to finish up a five-piece, girl's French bedroom set that has taken up quite a bit of that garage space.

Why ‘To Do’ Lists Don’t Work
Are you a list maker? Does it work? Do you actually ever complete every project on the list? 'To Do' lists just don't' seem to work for me. Why? Because I'm a Mom.
I've been sitting in front of my computer for the past three hours trying to figure out which item on my original 31 Days outline to write about on this Day 11. I've been procrastinating because for each item on the list I've had one reason or another why I couldn't post about that tonight.
You see, I have the ideas, I ...

Cleaning Closets
If you'd like to simplify your life and home, try cleaning out a closet this weekend. The clutter that you hide behind closed doors is still clutter. Just because you can't see it in plain site, doesn't mean it's not there in the back of your mind, complicating your life.
(I know, I know - it's really Day 10! So I owe you two today.)
I'm not going to lecture you about how I'm CHALLENGING YOU to get the closets cleaned out! That doesn't work for me and I don't' expect it to work for ...

Discarding & Sorting Daily Mail
Let's talk junk mail. This one little thing, that left untouched for a few days, can wreak havoc on your state of mind. Discarding and sorting the mail is one of those mundane tasks that that left undone can turn into a mountain of stress.
One piece of mail is easy to deal with - ten pieces suddenly becomes a "pile" you put aside to "deal with later". Does this sound familiar? Do you dread opening your mailbox or email inbox? How long does it take you to get through the mail every ...

Wire Chairs Inspired by Crate & Barrel Tig Chairs
Today's feature is about a Crate & Barrel knock-off. Flipping through C&B's Fall/Winter 2015 furniture catalog, I came across their black metal Tig chairs. The catalog photo just happened to feature these chairs with their Big Sur table which was what initially grabbed my attention. The Big Sur table is one I've loved for years and one that resembles my own dining room table obtained on clearance at Arhaus Furniture.
These chairs were originally white, but in glossy black they ...
