Simple, beautiful living.
Hello! If you’re anything like me you’re looking for easy ways to clean. I found a great tip from this blogger. I know cleaning the shower can be quite the task sometimes.

Hi Friends! Today I’ve got a few ideas for styling your china cabinet or using a collection of items. I recently painted the cabinet. I wanted to lighten up the matching dining room set and I’m so happy I finally did it. It was fun to reinvent the piece a bit. If you missed that post you can see it here. Since the cabinet was

I want to share my Tips and Tricks to Stay Organized with you! There are a few really simple things that I do on a regular basis to stay organized.

Slowly but surely I’m getting to things. It hasn’t been a bag a day but today I had five bags to donate and one to the trash. I organized my entire closet in just a couple hours.
