You know I dream of perfectly organized, pretty spaces all Home Edit style, but that is just not realistic for me. I’m not that neat and while I love to ROYGBIV some things, others I need different forms of order. We all organize differently and while I totally respect your own personal style and methods, I’m also an advocate of making sure we’re all doing our best at it. Our systems and methods should not just be functional, but also beautiful. If our snacks and overflow pantry items are pretty, we’re more likely to want to maintain them. If we...

If someone truly loves to organize, they also love cute tools to help them do their thing! Guess what, we have those!  Locker baskets… Sometimes you just need a good basket! These are the ones! Add a target gift card so they can grab some extra goodies or the perfect companion is…  Chalkboard Tag… hang on a basket or bin to make sure everything gets in it’s place! Add a few to your favorite organizer’s stocking and you’ll be on the nice list!  Zinc Drawer… Even the most organized person needs a place for things to be out of site!...

What is not to love about Chip and Joanna? I can’t even begin to tell you. We all want to be Joanna when we grow up and live in a perfect white farmhouse.

Here are our favorite WR picks for the men in your life…  Transistor Radio Speaker… This has become one of my  personal favorites and I’m not alone! My bachelor brother-in-law saw this the day they arrived and said “what is that?” quickly followed by “I’ll take one!” Perfect for the man cave, office or just to look (and sound!) awesome. You just drop your iPod or other device right in and it amplifies...

I blame Joanna Gaines. She waves her magic shiplap wand and we all want a farmhouse with chippy paint, reclaimed wood and just the right touch of industrial chic. I don't know about you, but my farmhouse dreams are not coming true just yet (my neighbors may not appreciate goats) but I just love bringing a little Jo Jo style to my faux farmhouse. And that is the great thing. You don't have to have acres and livestock, or even a huge TV makeover budget to bring those elements home... wherever that may be. I think what we really love...
