Our front stoop was looking pretty sad and droopy. I hadn’t really done much with it since we moved in, so I figured it was time to give a lil sprucing up for the holidays! It was about time to make a good first impression. My old doormat was in definite need of a replacement and I feel like it’s not the holidays until a wreath is hanging on the front door, am I right? 🙂

New Living Room with Walmart
You might all remember peeking at what the living room looked like right after we moved in, and a little bit later on, and it worked for the moment. It was all furniture from the old house, and pieces I loved, but it didn’t really work for our new, more petite, living room. For one thing you opened the front door and would knock right into either the sofa arm or you’d get stuck on the rug (which was a teensy bit too big). It took me a few months of deliberation and seeing how we use the space, or need to use the space. And not to mention, lots of different room plans! But I finally came up with a design that both the Mr and I agreed on and one that would work well for us as a family.

Let’s talk tiny kitchens. I see you, fellow apartment dwellers. If there’s one thing that drives me crazy about my NYC apartment it’s the lack of storage and counter space in my kitchen. I love to cook but it can be frustrating in such a small space. Luckily, I’ve found a few tricks along the way to maximize square footage.
If there is a collapsible version of anything, that’s the one I choose. I rely on a dish rack since my tiny kitchen doesn’t have a dishwasher, but I hate seeing it out in the open when it’s not in use. I love that this one pops into a smaller size to store under the sink when I need to free up space or have guests over.
Anything that nests is also your friend. My nesting bowls and glasses save a ton of precious cabinet space.
Don’t be afraid to use verticle space as well. Pots and pans are convenient to reach, yet out of the way, when they’re on a pot rack instead of in a cabinet. Magnetic organizers for things like spices or knives help make full use of wall space and are great when you’re low on drawer space.
I also look for things that are multipurpose. Instead of a toaster, I have this mini smart oven that I’m obsessed with. It toasts, bakes, broils, and roasts, all without taking up much space. It’s also a great alternative to turning on the oven when I’m just making something small.
My final tips apply to any small space: stay organized (this will help!) and stick to a color palette. It’s easy to acquire a lot of random kitchen things that don’t necessarily look good together, but this can be avoided by keeping one or two colors/finishes in mind.
Whew, that was a lot! Any tips/tricks I missed? Let us know your favorite kitchen space savers in the comments!

Home Trends | Beds under $800 at RCWilley and My Master Bedroom Inspiration
Ever since coming home from our trip to Waikiki, I’ve been daydreaming about our our hotel room at the Modern Honolulu. I decided it was time for a little master bedroom update of our own. As you saw from the No Makeup Home Tour, our cal king bed takes up pretty much our whole bedroom! It’s definitely a smaller room than our last master, that’s for sure. I think our new bedroom calls for a queen sized bed – That way we can fit TWO nightstands instead of just one 😉

Blush Reading Nook with World Market
We have the cutest little reading nook in our house on the second floor landing. After putting the kids down at night, I like to lay there and read a bit while I wait for them to settle down for the night. It’s such a great spot and has a nice view of the surrounding hills. It’s also a great little perch for watching the sun set. I’m not the only one who loves to sit there though, Arden loves curling up there with a good book too. In fact I often find open books propped just so…in fact the book in these pictures was left there by her and I figured I’d leave it for the photos!

This lovely space by Abbie Naber has me feeling blue in the best possible way! The inky rug’s palette is picked up perfectly in the sofa pillows and abstract art, and the variety of plants and cozy-looking textiles gives the room a lush vibe. The coffee table adds a nice touch of glam as well. What’s your favorite part of this chic spot?
