I love bins. Especially in closets and pantries. Tom thinks I go a little overboard, but I know tht they’re major organizational helpers. Seriously, a bin will solve 99.9% of all organizing problems and make any space look tidier. Case in point: bathroom closet storage. Bada-bin-bada-boom. (see what I did there??) Neat and tidy! And the rule behind it is simple: a place for everything, and everything in its place. Or bin, as the case may be…
Did you get snowed in this weekend? We did, but thankfully not until we’d returned home from our day trip along the Kentucky Bourbon Trail! (you may have caught some snippets of our adventure on Instagram). Our trip, and the haul of bourbon we brought home, inspired me to create a mini-bar slash bourbon tasting bar.
I don’t know about you, but I’m extremely glad that February is here. January was sort of brutal. The days have been cold and dreary and my creativity has clearly been in sync with the weather, because I have been struggling to get posts up here on the blog. Which you may have noticed. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve got plenty on my to-do list, I just haven’t been able to muster the motivation to start on any of our larger projects, or the creativity to come up with some smaller crafts!
Hopefully with the beginning of a new month, I can leave these January blahs behind! Tom and I are also making a bit of progress on one of our 2015 House Goals: to finish our master bathroom!
As I was looking back at some of the house goals I set for us last January, I realized that I sort of got off track. I outlined several goals that I wanted to accomplish last year. Some we checked the boxes on, others we did not. In some cases, we made up and checked boxes as we went.
Case in point: at the outset of 2014, I had no idea we’d give such a gorgeous makeover to our bedroom windows, adding new sills and fancy trim. But we did, and we’re both thrilled with the results.
For our 2015 House Goals, there are definitely a few repeats from last year’s list, and re-assigning projects that didn’t get started (or finished) last year.
There’s no time like the present, right?
I realize that today is December 23rd, and I am just now posting my Holiday House Tour. I’d hoped to have it ready earlier this month, but the cards just didn’t fall that way. I’d still love to share my home with you, so hopefully you’re not sick and tired of holiday house tours! If you are, bookmark it for next November and pretend I got a head start on things 😉
My sort-of theme for this year is a snowy wintery wonderland. Come on in!
I’ll take your hat and coat. Grab a warm beverage and enjoy my 2014 holiday house tour!
