<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi friends! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Call me crazy, but I LOVE styling coffee tables! I know it's not everyone's idea of fun,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I have a super simple (I promise!) step-by-step formula that just may change your</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
mind. The good news is it will work for round, square or rectangle coffee tables, and I'll bet</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you already have everything you need to create a stylish vignette. Three of my long time</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
but I've shared some extra tips with each vignette below. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love including large statement pieces or oversize vases of greenery casually</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
spilling over. This is seeded eucalyptus from the grocery store, an inexpensive</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
option ($6) that gives a lot of bang for the buck. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A black, white and gold color scheme coordinates with ANYTHING!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These hammered metal glasses are large and heavy, a recent find at Homegoods for</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
$13 - they add a little dose of fun. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Nd9JlluFuho/XG3mo6OndFI/AAAAAAAAZ08/VSpBa7zg0Zga7fDhY0ZCdvAdq-DO2p0RwCK4BGAYYCw/s1600/IMG_0077.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Nd9JlluFuho/XG3mo6OndFI/AAAAAAAAZ08/VSpBa7zg0Zga7fDhY0ZCdvAdq-DO2p0RwCK4BGAYYCw/s640/IMG_0077.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be sure to include varied textures - clear glass, brass, hammered metal, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
textured vase. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ARB-2A_4FeA/XG3qaQzPG7I/AAAAAAAAZ1k/w6UxDAEHI2sCOxPM4QsIcdKb0B5LY6NNgCK4BGAYYCw/s1600/IMG_0115.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ARB-2A_4FeA/XG3qaQzPG7I/AAAAAAAAZ1k/w6UxDAEHI2sCOxPM4QsIcdKb0B5LY6NNgCK4BGAYYCw/s640/IMG_0115.jpg" width="466" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Use a patterned vase to add interest, and books that pull out a color in your</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
pillows or other furnishings to coordinate, just don't go overboard being too matchy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wzMjl76ls8Q/XG3r2ILWezI/AAAAAAAAZ1w/-TL8x3N6qP0TGeQQUPRqK1DbrULtcazCQCK4BGAYYCw/s1600/IMG_0111.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wzMjl76ls8Q/XG3r2ILWezI/AAAAAAAAZ1w/-TL8x3N6qP0TGeQQUPRqK1DbrULtcazCQCK4BGAYYCw/s640/IMG_0111.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A small (4"x4") clear square vase (Hobby Lobby) is perfect for a more greenery</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but doesn't look too busy or overdone. That's a leftover from a Valentine bouquet and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
some boxwood clippings from my yard. Btw, we have snow on the ground but the bottom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
side of my boxwood are green. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A lucite tray is ideal when you have a lot going on (pillows & gallery wall) and need</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
something simple. I lined it with a piece of leopard wrapping paper because you can </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
never go wrong with leopard print! </div>

Everything looks good in a white vase! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you look back I have a variety of them in different shapes and sizes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Vary the texture of greenery - the small glass vase holds hosta leaves from our yard. </div>

We've super-sized 'My Five Favorites' this month and are sharing our Fifteen Favorites,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
including some of our personal Christmas Lists! I think it's my favorite post of the year. </div>

My blogging pals always have the best lists, and since I have a December birthday I</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
always feel justified adding a few of their great ideas to mine. :) </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
with pearls and rhinestones and is a little oversized. I like mixing my wardrobe</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(same as my decor) - distressed jeans and a dressier top. I know it will be on repeat, I just </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
need to keep track of who's seen it. Haha! I'll wear it shopping, coffee with a friend, casual</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
family dinner, it'd be fun for ice skating or zoo lights with a warm scarf and beanie. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
and so versatile. They're fun to pair with white jeans in summer/fall and above is my</div>

favorite timeless, casual look for cooler fall/winter weather. The silver side stripes are</div>

I've mentioned this before, and you guys NEED to order <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Rapidlash-Eyelash-Enhancing-Serum-0-1/dp/B00GWTQSI6/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1543364770&sr=8-3&keywords=rapid+eyelash+enhancing+serum">Rapid Lash</a> to put in your</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
stocking. I'd always had good lashes but they started getting shorter and after researching</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I determined Rapid Lash was the best price/review combination I was looking for. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's $22 on Amazon - much more reasonable than $100/tube. I was completely</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
surprised at how long a tube lasts. I'm going to be close to 2 tubes lasting a year! I'm</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
diligent about using nightly because your lashes return to their previous condition when</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you discontinue use. I have noticed I go through mascara more quickly and <a href="https://www.ulta.com/voluminous-lash-paradise-mascara?productId=xlsImpprod16151007&sku=2510043&cmpid=PS_Non!google!Product_Listing_Ads&cagpspn=pla&CATCI=aud-553371945819:pla-462941296035&CAAGID=56842131352&CAWELAID=330000200001170924&CATARGETID=330000200001471360&cadevice=c&gclid=Cj0KCQiA8_PfBRC3ARIsAOzJ2urBjSgsTDZDa7JesYhC0iud3_y-qbiIwLwpzdPjpx26crc2ZNhueZ0aAjaIEALw_wcB">Lash Paradise</a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
asked a lady what lipstick she was wearing. It has a slight tingle when applied, that's the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
plumping at work. Dolly is the best selling shade - it's described as 'sultry mauve.' </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love using it over other lipstick shades, too. </div>

Hi friends - it's time for another round of My Five Favorites, our theme this month is</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
budget friendly favorites that I've used for my clients several times. Be sure to check out</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">I see vintage brass lamps at thrift stores all the time! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These brass lamps are posted on <a href="https://denver.craigslist.org/fuo/d/vintage-brass-lamps/6715805956.html">Denver Craigslist</a> for $65 for the pair.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wouldn't they be beautiful with black shades? </div>

Here are a pair I found a few years ago, adding the black shades made a big impact,</div>

and they're so versatile, I move them all over our home. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been on the search for <a href="https://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&pid=326917">faux leather pants</a> for a year or so, since seeing Jaclyn Smith<br />
(of Charlie's Angels for those of you old enough to have been a fan :)) wear them at a<br />
presentation here in town. She looked absolutely stunning at 70!<br />
I tried the <a href="https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/spanx-faux-leather-leggings/3828364">blogger fav</a> but felt like they looked too similar to typical black leggings.<br />
I found <a href="https://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&pid=326917">these at Banana Republic</a> and they're exactly what I had in mind!<br />
Flattering, sleek, and classy but not skin tight, a beautiful dark olive color, that's more<br />
unique than black.<br />
BONUS!!! I purchased them online to pick up in store - when I went to the store they were<br />
40% off! The price still hasn't changed online, so check stock at your store and you may get<br />
a steal! I haven't experienced anything negative some of the reviews refer to.<br />

warm French baguette! You can find these at Costco in the frozen section during the fall</div>

and winter. They're delicious and super easy to pop in the oven and serve warm.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
WARNING: Delayed gratification!!<br />
I'm definitely an instant gratification girl, but if something is worth waiting for, a landscape<br />
of pretty spring flowers after a long winter is high on my list. This is the month to plant<br />
tulip bulbs for a beautiful spring garden.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While you're at Costco picking up the French baguette grab a bag of their tulip bulbs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
OR</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
if your store has sold out there are a few Designer Collections available to<br />
<a href="https://www.costco.com/Tulip-Designer-Collection.product.100431189.html">order on their website</a>. Below is a photo of our yard from a few years ago, I like to plant<br />
them in clumps of 10-15 for the biggest bang!<br />

Happy September friends!</div>

Do you stand in front of your bookcase with your collection of accessories </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
organized and set to go...then cautiously begin placing them...all the while questioning</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
yourself with each book, vase, or thoughtfully purchased accessory? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've got you covered this month, along with my blogging pals, we're sharing lots of tips</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and inspiration to make it easy! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I love how artwork can completely change the vibe of your bookcase,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">and how easily an antique piece or modern abstract compliments books. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you have large built-in bookcases using a generous size piece will take up a good</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> deal of space, too!</span></div>

heading out of state for college in two weeks! :( However, there is no denying this month's </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Five Favorites topic, "Mixing Old and New" is the design style I'm most drawn to time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and again! An eclectic mix of timeless antiques and modern pieces speak to me, and I'm<br />
sharing how I create the look. I'm anxious to see what inspiration my pals are mixing up.</div>

I'm excited to welcome our guest this month, Melaine @ <a href="http://www.mysweetsavannahblog.com/2018/08/my-five-favorite-ways-to-mix-old-with.html">My Sweet Savannah</a> has<br />
created such a charming place for her family in their beautiful lake front home. I love her<br />
one-of-a-kind style and that it's filled with meaningful touches throughout. <br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><i><b>#1 - Geometric Pattern</b></i></span><br />
<br />
The addition of a geometric pattern on the walls lends a youthful, casual feel and keeps<br />
our bedroom from feeling overly formal. I like using geometrics when reupholstering<br />
antique furniture, too. (See below)<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
If you've been reading for anytime at all you know I have a weakness for<br />
ornate gold mirrors. Add furnishings with clean lines and it's the perfect pairing<br />
of timeless and chic in my book.<br />

They're plentiful and inexpensive on Craigslist, estate sales, or thrift stores.<br />

Don't forget your accessories ~ I intentionally mixed old (ornate gold tray) with<br />
new (modern shape vase and square box). <br />

<b><i><br /></i></b>
Dining rooms<b style="font-style: italic;"> </b>are much more interesting<b style="font-style: italic;"> </b>with an eclectic mix of table and chairs.<br />
I like a stained table with painted or upholstered chairs to keep it from being too matchy.<br />
Did you notice my geometric pattern on the chairs (See #1 above) mixed with the<br />
traditional rug and chandelier.<br />

<br />
Bold white accessories with varied silhouettes are a great statement to use with an antique<br />
secretary or vintage hutch. Using accessories in the same color family helps to keep it from<br />
looking overly busy.<br />
Notice the mix of antique silver too.<br />
And the modern ghost chair with antique secretary.<br />
And the geometric pattern on both chairs. <br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i><b>#1 - Faux Flowers</b></i></span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">I know what you're thinking, but hear me out!</span></b><br />
Last year we were having a group over for dinner and as luck would have it my<br />
geraniums had just bloomed and I was left with a nice collection of pretty buds!<br />
I noticed some colorful faux flowers at Hobby Lobby, I thought I could add to my pots<br />
to give them a little dose of color. :)<br />
My friend commented on how pretty my pots were and asked what type of flowers<br />
I had in them! Hahaha!!<br />
I brought them out again this year to show you guys - in these pots I have a<br />
collection of geraniums, verbena, trailing sweet potato vine and <i>faux gerber daisies.</i> <br />
<br />

<br />
There are only five faux flowers in each pot (I broke apart a larger bouquet) all the rest are the<br />
real deal. I simply wove a bit of the foliage from the verbena through the faux flowers.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><i>#2 - Creeping Jenny</i></b></span><br />
<br />
When I was on a garden tour one of my favorite ground covers I saw over and over again<br />
was Creeping Jenny. I was smitten with the contrast of the bright chartreuse color in the<br />
gardens! When I researched it, it sounds like it can be grown anywhere (Zone 2-10) and will<br />
tolerate varied conditions from sun to shade.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><i>#3 - Boxwood</i></b></span><br />
<br />
My all time favorite style for a classic landscape. This was another garden on the<br />
same tour, it was a very small lot and packed with inspiration throughout. Their creative<br />
boxwood hedge had me dying to go home and add more to our yard.<br />
<br />

I have a ways to go, but ours are doing great, we have 18 of these larger boxwood<br />
(2' x 2' x 2') along a long bed in our backyard and my little hedge around our birdbath is<br />
filling in too.<br />

Arborvitae can't be beat for architectural detail, reasonable price and color throughout<br />
the winter. They're great against a fence, planted in pots on the patio, or in the garden<br />
below the homeowner anchored four corners of their lot with symmetrical plantings around<br />
a large arborvitae.<br />

<br />
The flowers in Vail, CO are stunning in the summer, it's a short getaway from Denver, and<br />
we've always loved spending a long weekend there. One year I noticed the town's gardeners<br />
tending to the flowers and asked if they had any special tips.<br />
That was my first introduction to <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Peters-Classic-10-30-20-Blossom-Fertilizer/dp/B00JDRWFF4/ref=asc_df_B00JDRWFF4/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=193139379506&hvpos=1o2&hvnetw=g&hvrand=18031121916144122982&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9028780&hvtargid=pla-310423491574&psc=1">Jack's Classic Bloom Booster!</a><br />
It's the best and I've never used anything else since then.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
You guys NEED this, whatever the season! I've always had good eyelashes, but they</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
were gradually getting shorter. I checked with some friends and started searching</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
reviews, which led me to this <a href="https://www.costco.com/RapidLash-Eyelash-%2526-Eyebrow-Enhancing-Serum-2-pack.product.100168034.html">AWESOME, REASONABLY priced lash serum</a>. My lashes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
are SO long, and it only took a couple of weeks. I originally bought it at Ulta, with a coupon</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found online, it ended up being $40, and then saw this deal at Costco - 2 for $49!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm still using my original tube I bought over 3 months ago and have skipped nights here</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and there. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my <a href="https://www.sephora.com/product/soy-face-cleanser-P7880">favorite cleanser</a> that easily removes all of my <a href="https://www.target.com/p/l-or-233-al-174-paris-voluminous-lash-paradise/-/A-52491984">favorite mascara</a> and has</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a refreshing, soothing cucumber extract. The smell makes me feel like I'm at a spa. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This cleanser is a little pricey but it goes a long way. I was first introduced when I received</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it as a gift, when I went to get a replacement at Sephora they said it was their best selling</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
cleanser. The smaller size ($15) is fun to tie on a special gift (perfect for any age) or for a</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
hostess gift. </div>

Hi friends - it's time for this month's My Five Favorites, we're sharing our favorite<br />
Home Basics. If you've read my blog for anytime at all you've probably heard me<br />
mention a time or two (or twenty!) how much I love my neutral sofas and that they can't<br />
be beat for the flexibility they allow in changing up your decor. Now that we have that out<br />
of the way, I'll be sharing my other Five Favorite Basics that I use over and over again! I can't<br />
wait to see what inspiration my pals have for us today, be sure and pop over to<br />
check them out: <br />

We're thrilled to welcome Annie @ <a href="https://mostlovelythings.com/five-home-basics-wouldnt-want-live-without/">Most Lovely Things</a> as our guest host this month.<br />
She's as kind as they come, and just as talented. I've followed her blog for years, her<br />
stylish decor and photography always draw me in. She makes her unique, edited style look<br />
effortless! How charming is her kitchen nook?!!<br />
And, she loves coffee and searching out charming coffee houses - a girl after my own heart!<br />

Let's get to my favorites...<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>#1 - swing arm lighting</i></b></span><br />
<br />
Swing arm lighting is an easy addition to create an eclectic mix of styles.<br />
There are a multitude of options - wall mounted, floor lamps, table lamps. I love<br />
mixing the modern style with more formal pieces. Here are three I have -<br />
kitchen, living room and bedroom.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>#2 - white comforter</i></b></span><br />
<br />
There's nothing like crisp white bedding. I love the reasonably priced Hotel Collection<br />
from HomeGoods.<br />
My tip for keeping it fresh looking - I fold mine down and remove it every night.<br />
I've taught Mr. Simple my system (three folds, then fold in half and lay on our chair) :)<br />
it takes about 30 seconds to remove it and put it back on in the morning.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>#3 - original artwork</i></b></span><br />
<br />
I think original artwork adds so much personality to your decor, and it doesn't<br />
have to be pricey. I love buying pieces during our travels, I found the floral on the<br />
bottom left at a thrift store in Copenhagen, it's 28" long and barely fit in my suitcase.<br />
It's one of my favorites, and we all have fond memories of me digging through boxes<br />
while my boys waited patiently, rolling their eyes. Haha! <br />
Most of mine are all thrift store or antique store finds, a special piece<br />
from an art show, or something a friend or family member created.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>#4 - an antique</i></b></span><br />
<br />
I don't know who said it, some smart designer along the way,<br />
"Every room needs an antique."<br />
I couldn't agree more, although I'd add, "A reproduction works too!"<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>#5 - gold mirror</i></b></span><br />
<br />
I should say 'ornate' gold mirror.<br />
It's another basic that I love using because of the ease of achieving an interesting eclectic<br />
mix. Simply add a couple modern elements and you've got it!<br />

Hey friends! This could be my all-time favorite topic of the 'My Five Favorites' series!<br />
Biggest bang for the buck projects, without compromising style, are my #1 choice. I<br />
love the challenge of creating high end looks that are easy on the budget. My blogging<br />
pals and I are sharing some of our best ideas today.<br />

Here are the biggest bang for the buck projects around our home...<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>#1 - formica countertop</i></b></span><br />
<br />
Our Formica 180FX Calacatta Marble countertop still fools our guests! We've had it<br />
for a little over three years now, I still love it and would definitely give it a thumbs up<br />
recommendation. I gave you all the scoop and my reasons for choosing it in my<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>#2 - stenciled wallpaper</i></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For a fraction of the cost, inexpensive stencils gave me the look of a couple pricey</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> wallpapers that I loved. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I used this Alexa pattern from </span><a href="http://www.cuttingedgestencils.com/alexa-allover-wall-pattern.html" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">Cutting Edge Stencils</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> to emulate </span><br />

<br />
Craigslist Hutch + Annie Sloan Chalk Paint = Big Bang for the Buck!<br />
You all know I couldn't do a post about budget friendly projects without mentioning<br />
Craigslist! I love how paint can breathe new life into an old piece of furniture, and<br />
make a unique one-of-a-kind statement. See tutorial for the changes I made to this<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>#4 - chair reupholster</i></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Chair makeovers are not only inexpensive, because you need such a small amount</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> of fabric, but they're super easy, too! Simply unscrew the seats and attach the new</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> fabric using your staple gun. Seriously, it gives you a completely fresh look for</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> your dining room! Btw, I purchased these chairs along with the hutch above. </span><br />

Happy New Year friends!<br />
Welcome to our first edition of My Five Favorites for 2018, we're kicking off the year<br />
with organization ideas! I'm always all over any great ideas to make my life easier<br />
and more organized and I can't wait to see what my pals are sharing: </div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>Organized Refrigerator</i></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I can't believe it's been two years since I shared a 'new' <a href="http://simpledetailsblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/my-five-favorites-home-organizing-tips.html" target="_blank">refrigerator organization system</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">At the time I mentioned I'd let you know how my bins worked out</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> and </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">if they encouraged my boys to return items to their place. I loved the new uncluttered </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">look and was hopefully optimistic, but still skeptical that when in a hurry items would</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">get shoved front and center. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You guys, it totally worked and is just as organized as the day I first shared it!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Here it is today, and all it took were the </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">$2 <a href="https://www.containerstore.com/s/closet/shoe-storage/view-all-shoe-storage/our-shoe-box/123d?productId=10001753" target="_blank">Clear Plastic Shoe Boxes</a> from the Container Store!</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Since then I've also added some to our extra refrigerator in the basement, I love using</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">one to corral all of our ingredients for Asian recipes instead of having them all in our</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">kitchen fridge. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I can't even imagine what a mess our coat closet would be without my shoe organizer</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> to </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">keep our gloves, beanies, dog leashes, and miscellaneous items contained. We have a</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> separate bag </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">dedicated to only ski equipment that we can easily grab when we head out. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I've had this one for years, I think I found it at TJ Maxx. It simply hangs from a couple</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> small</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> nails. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">It's easy to change out for the seasons, in the summer it's great for pool and</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> outdoor</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> activity </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">items too.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> I'm showing you a little corner of my 1938 basement laundry room ONLY because I can</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> crop it in </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">so close and I love this idea! A few years ago when I read </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Magic of Tidying Up,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> one </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">of the tips that resonated with me was to 'organize by category.' I didn't even realize how </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">many different areas I had vases stored (basement, kitchen, dining room) or how</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> inefficient it was. It was the first idea I implemented after reading the book, now I keep</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> all of them (other than what I'm currently using to decorate) </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">on an </span><a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00263850/" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">IKEA Billy Bookcase</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">in my basement. The reason I love it is because it's 11" deep, </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">and can squeeze into a corner,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> our 1938 ceilings are about 7' in the laundry room and it fits!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Add adjustable shelves, $69 (but they're always available on our Craigslist) and it holds a</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> boatload of accessories! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is my all time #1 pinned and viewed organization idea! I'm always amazed, but every</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> time I </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">share it there are readers that are so surprised and thankful! After all these years </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">I've</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> forgotten how </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">annoying it is standing on your head to</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> re-fill</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> that little soap container!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Use a large container of liquid dish detergent instead of re-filling your small bottle. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">They sell kits for $10, but you don't need one. Buy a piece of plastic tubing from the</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">hardware store and attach it to the end of the pump at your counter.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Be patient it will take a few pumps to get the air out of the tube at first. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>#5 - Purge!</i></b></span><br />
<br />
Fingers crossed you didn't notice, but I didn't quite follow the<br />
'Organization - Room by Room" theme for the month.<br />
The truth is I have nothing to organize in my living room, family room, or dining room - all<br />
of my dressers and cabinets are almost completely empty! I have a few cookbooks and<br />
photos in one, some trays in one, and some candles, but that's it! And, I love not having all<br />
of that stuff that I was saving for 'a day when I might need it.'<br />
Disclaimer: I do have a basement for storage that's mostly for entertaining items<br />
(dishes, glasses, linens) and my overflow Craigslist scores that I'm attached to. :)<br />
Today when I was taking photos of my coat closet I noticed coats that we hadn't worn,<br />
and out they went. The first time I purged, a few years ago after reading Marie Kondo's<br />
book, I was still hesitant with some items - you know the sentimental or expensive ones -<br />
not anymore! Purging is hands down my BEST organization idea - it feels so good not<br />
to have all the stuff we'd acquired and didn't even use or like anymore! <br />

Over the past couple years I've embraced the 'less is more' philosophy and ditched all the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
bins of stuff in favor of using greenery from our yard. It's a great motivator to be creative</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and rearrange all of my Craigslist finds for a new look. I've been holding out on you,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have a couple new pieces! :) If you're not familiar, everything in my living room and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Oh my goodness, I didn't buy one, I bought two!!! I know I have a problem, but seriously</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would have been crazier not to buy them, they were $25 each! They're unique, tall,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
amazing quality and comfortable! If you happen to be new to Simple Details, it's a little</div>

I wanted to keep the decor to a minimum because I did a big glam-up job</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on my oversized mirror. It would be easy to do with any mirror, I used beads,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
pearls, ornaments and crystals that I had for tree decorations. </div>

Check out that chair and don't pay attention to my sad paperwhites!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the first year ever they haven't gone gangbusters. I think I planted thirteen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The chair backs are 48" high, kind of cool! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like the mix of chippy old columns and urns with the modern geometric pattern. </div>

One of my favorite decor items this year is the Three Cedars fresh wreath from</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.lynchcreekwreaths.com/" target="_blank">Lynch Creek Farms</a>. It adds a gorgeous classic style to my dining room, and smells amazing,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
can you believe how full and lush it is. Their finished wreaths are 26" and have a beautiful</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
three dimensional style. I think they'd make a wonderful gift!<br />
Thank you to Lynch Creek Farms for generously sponsoring our holiday tours!</div>

Hey friends, we've super-sized My Five Favorites this month and are all sharing<br />
our Fifteen Favorites on our personal Christmas Wish Lists, I think it's my favorite<br />
of the year. I'm sharing a combo of fashion and home items I love. My pals always have<br />
the best lists, and since I have a December birthday I feel totally justified adding a few<br />
of their great ideas to mine! :)<br />

We've got the perfect guest this month, and I cannot wait to see what this fun fashionista<br />
has for us! Cassie @ <a href="https://hisugarplum.com/my-favorite-things-christmas-wish-list/" target="_blank">Hi Sugarplum </a>has long been a fav, I love following along with the<br />
adventures of her cute family and their fur babies! She has a killer eye for decor too, you<br />
may recall her <a href="https://hisugarplum.com/one-room-challenge-living-room-reveal/" target="_blank">famous ORC reveal</a>! All that, and she's sweet and funny!<br />
I've had this cute photo of her saved on my phone forever for outfit inspiration ~ I think<br />
it's only fitting it should be on my wish list!<br />
<br />

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm thrilled to be teaming up with a few of my favorite bloggers to share our holiday gift</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
wrap ideas. I love changing up my wrap from year to year, a pretty but simple look that</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
doesn't complete with the tree and other Christmas decor is my favorite. It's super easy to</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
add a little dose of the same elements I use for wrapping to my decor to help the keep the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
look cohesive and achieve a nice flow from room to room. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are a few tips to create the look: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use neutral color wrapping paper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use neutral patterned boxes and metallic tin boxes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Change color of ribbon from year to year, choose different textured ribbon</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use the same ribbon to help decor flow from room to room</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add greenery from your yard to embellish your gift </div>

You can't go wrong choosing a sheer texture, and if it has pretty detail, all the better. <br />
Costco is a great source for sheer ribbon, and a steal if you catch the end of season sale.<br />
Notice the printed box below right, I've had it for several years and it gets put under the<br />
tree every year. <br />

I used the green leopard ribbon and sprig of greenery on the backs of my dining chairs<br />
to carry the color/pattern into that room. <br />

Last year I had painted my living room blush and used blush satin ribbon on my<br />
gifts to tie the look together. <br />
<br />

Notice the black and white patterned box above, the pattern added a little pizazz to plain<br />
white wrap. <br />

Pine sprigs on the gifts, chair backs and brass container below and the blush<br />
satin ribbon on the wreath give everything a cohesive look. <br />

<br />
This leopard & plaid pairing is an oldie but goodie. There is the patterned box<br />
again, and simple silver tins - I think they originally held chocolates. Save any<br />
pretty boxes you receive during the year and simply add ribbon ~ not everything<br />
has to be wrapped in paper. <br />
<br />

I coordinated the bow on the wreath in the next room to easily create a pretty flow. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Welcome to our last week of <b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">FALL INTO THE HOLIDAYS!</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm joining a fun group of bloggers brought together by our lovely friend, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lisa @<a href="http://www.shineyourlightblog.com/fall-holidays-dining-room/" target="_blank"> Shine Your Light. </a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you've been inspired by all the ideas to spruce up your home these last few</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
weeks before the holidays are in full force and you're hosting family and friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This week our topic is the</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My IKEA favorite that I shared for the <a href="http://simpledetailsblog.blogspot.com/2017/11/fall-into-holidays-ikea-favorite.html" target="_blank">living room last week</a> was a hit, I received</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
emails and texts from friends and clients asking if they should get one. Umm...yes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It just happens that I have an IKEA favorite that's perfect for your dining room </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for the holidays! And, it's <b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">ON SALE</span></b> through Sunday, Novemeber 19!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">$71 including long slip cover!</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Slip covered host chairs are timeless and so versatile, they easily mix with endless styles</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of tables and side chairs. These are a steal and will take your dining room up a notch</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in a flash. They're comfortable too! No worries if someone spills, the slipcovers are</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
washable! I used them in this <a href="http://simpledetailsblog.blogspot.com/2013/08/80s-tract-home-kitchen-makeover.html" target="_blank">80's Kitchen Update</a> for a client. </div>

<br />
Welcome to week three of <b><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">FALL INTO THE HOLIDAYS!</span></b><br />
I'm joining a fun group of bloggers to share some simple ideas to spruce up your home<br />
these last few weeks before the holidays are in full force. This week our topic is the<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">LIVING ROOM.</span></b><b style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;"> </b><br />

Four years ago I <a href="http://simpledetailsblog.blogspot.com/2013/05/ikea-barometer-floor-and-work-lamp.html" target="_blank">posted about the IKEA Barometer</a>, an all time favorite floor lamp.<br />
I so wished it came in gold, but since it didn't I did what any DIY blogger would do<br />
and got out my indispensable spray paint!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, guess what's NEW at IKEA?!!<br />
<br />
You guessed it - the Barometer Floor/Reading Lamp in BRASS!<br />
<br />
I love the modern vibe mixed with my ornate gold mirror, but it easily lends itself to any<br />
style. I've used it for several clients over the years, it's great quality and budget friendly!<br />
A perfectly simple addition that you'll love long after the holidays have passed.<br />

Happy November friends! The countdown to the holidays is on, only three short</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
weeks until Thanksgiving, then we blink and it's Christmas! For this month's My Five Favorites'<br />
topic my blogging pals and I are sharing ideas to help keep the stress level low and fun level<br />
high during the holidays! It's my favorite time of year and I remember <i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>ONE</b></span></i> year when I was<br />
SUPER organized, oh my gosh, it was so enjoyable!<br />

<br />
I gave you the scoop about this favorite <a href="https://simpledetailsblog.blogspot.com/2015/11/the-black-friday-deal-you-dont-want-to.html?showComment=1448453269670" target="_blank">Black Friday deal here</a>. Home Depot sells<br />
fresh wreaths and garland for $5!! I love to stock up (keep in your garage) to have on<br />
hand throughout the season ~ it's a simple gesture to brighten someone's day if they find a<br />
surprise wreath on their door step! I've used them to decorate inside and outside, as my gift<br />
for my Favorite Things Party, a hostess gift, to add some cheer to a housebound neighbor's<br />
gate. Over the years I've learned the garland is best left for outside decor, as it gets a tad<br />
crispy inside. :( I don't think they're on anyone's radar because there's no line or crazy<br />
people clamoring for them.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I'm such a list girl, I don't know how people make it through the day without one! <br />
Every year I make a list for the following year of what worked and what wasn't worth<br />
the time or effort. I found the list changes year to year depending on what stage of life<br />
your kiddos are in. I also have a book where I keep track of party details<br />
(for about 15 years, a little OCD?) it helps jog my memory when putting together menus.<br />
Date, Invitation, Guests, Food & Beverage Menu, and of course, what I wore.<br />
You can see at my Annual Girlfriend Party last year I wore winter white pants and<br />
cropped fringe sweater - monochromatic in case you're wondering. Hahaha!<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you think 'make ahead' means sacrificing quality and flavor, think again! Simply prepping</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">the time consuming chopping, dicing, making a sauce, etc. helps ensure a stress free day</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> when</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> you're hosting the meal. My parents always host a crowd of family on Christmas day</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> and my</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> mom and </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">I spend a few hours the day before getting the table set and prepping all</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> that we can. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm sure you're not surprised I have a list of our menu last year, the initial </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">indicates </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">who </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">brought which dish. (I know it's a LOT and a weird mix, but we all love food</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> and a</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">ccommodate if anyone has a favorite request, </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">somehow the Tamales & Green Chile</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> got left </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">off</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> the</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> list,</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> but it's tradition). </span><br />

favorite tried and true recipes from past Bon Appetit magazines. I gave detailed<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Take the time NOW to plan out a couple outfits you LOVE. It will make all the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
difference if all else fails, and you're running around frazzled, if you have an outfit<br />
planned that makes you feel fabulous.<br />
Start with your Pinterest Fashion Board (you have one right?) <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/simpledetails/fashion-fallwinter/" target="_blank">Here's mine</a>.<br />
It's a great place for inspiration before you head out shopping.<br />
I'd choose a couple outfits to emulate - comfy, casual for shopping or school and<br />
something dressy for church, party, Christmas day. It doesn't have to be an entire new<br />
outfit, although I'm sure you deserve one! Shoes, statement necklace, sweater or a pretty<br />
scarf to update some classics in your closet are perfect too.<br />
Whatever makes YOU feel great!<br />
Don't forget to schedule your hair and mani, pedi appointments now, if you haven't done so.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Welcome to week two of <b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">FALL INTO THE HOLIDAYS</span></b>, a four week series<br />
where we'll be sharing ideas for sprucing up our homes before the holiday season kicks into<br />
high gear. Our lovely hostess Lisa @ <a href="http://www.shineyourlightblog.com/" target="_blank">Shine Your Light</a> came up with the idea by asking friends<br />
what they'd most like to see on blogs - hands down, simple, do-able ideas were the favorite!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This week we're focusing on the <b><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">BEDROOM</span></b>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't miss my talented friends at the end of the post, you'll want to pop over and check</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
out their fun ideas too! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-r5JV6qJscNI/WfffRA4MwSI/AAAAAAAAZME/OYnSn14UjbISj6UA0YSt2wdISxtggY-zwCLcBGAs/s1600/Fall%2BInto%2BThe%2BHolidays.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="376" data-original-width="1600" height="150" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-r5JV6qJscNI/WfffRA4MwSI/AAAAAAAAZME/OYnSn14UjbISj6UA0YSt2wdISxtggY-zwCLcBGAs/s640/Fall%2BInto%2BThe%2BHolidays.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Today I'm sharing my friend's ceiling in her guest bedroom. She painted it a bold accent<br />
color and it added so much pizazz! Its a simple, budget friendly way to inject a fun look<br />
if your guest room needs a refresh before holiday guests arrive. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Jf6Tt_0TeMg/Wffl0GuKk7I/AAAAAAAAZMg/jEtNbEhUToc7OdrzlIjUZxGcBmIeaUwtgCLcBGAs/s1600/Guest%2Broom%2B-%2Btwin%2Bbeds%2B-%2Bpainted%2Bceiling%2B-%2BSimple%2BDetails.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Jf6Tt_0TeMg/Wffl0GuKk7I/AAAAAAAAZMg/jEtNbEhUToc7OdrzlIjUZxGcBmIeaUwtgCLcBGAs/s640/Guest%2Broom%2B-%2Btwin%2Bbeds%2B-%2Bpainted%2Bceiling%2B-%2BSimple%2BDetails.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
I love the vibrant coral, rust shade that she pulled from her blanket, custom pillow and<br />
roman shade. It's Sherwin Williams 7600 - Bolero. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We still have a plan for black and white artwork beneath the sconces to<br />
finish off the room.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tUGN8ZxEg-E/WfflzJkq1pI/AAAAAAAAZMU/uXT9w9TeJDgl8lFOrXvN2yMo_C6AixYRACEwYBhgL/s1600/Guest%2BRoom%2Bwith%2BPainted%2BCeiling%2B-%2BTwins%2B-%2BSimple%2BDetails.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1333" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tUGN8ZxEg-E/WfflzJkq1pI/AAAAAAAAZMU/uXT9w9TeJDgl8lFOrXvN2yMo_C6AixYRACEwYBhgL/s640/Guest%2BRoom%2Bwith%2BPainted%2BCeiling%2B-%2BTwins%2B-%2BSimple%2BDetails.jpg" width="532" /></a></div>
<br />
I think it's the perfect unexpected bold choice and totally makes the room.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
You guys this is one of those, "I can't believe I waited so long to do this" items.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been three and a half years since I did our <a href="http://simpledetailsblog.blogspot.com/2014/05/one-room-challengekitchen-reveal.html" target="_blank">kitchen update</a> for the One Room Challenge.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I LOVED the vibrant flat weave wool rug I chose, but sadly it was a maintenance nightmare,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and didn't last at our house. It attracted Golden Retriever hair like flies to dog doo! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the meantime we lived with this BLAH brown, low maintenance natural</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
fiber rug that wore like iron and hid ALL the things! And, when I wanted to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
change it up, I flipped it over! Yep, reversible to the other BLAH brown side!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If that wasn't enough, the edges started looking ratty and one corner curled a little that</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you tripped over if it wasn't strategically placed. </div>

I've finally found something that I think will work, this <a href="https://www.target.com/p/medallion-rug-threshold-153/-/A-52530540#lnk=sametab&preselect=52508084" target="_blank">medallion rug</a> <span style="text-align: left;">is $30, and has </span></div>

<span style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.target.com/p/medallion-tufted-accent-rug-threshold-153/-/A-52387369" target="_blank">great reviews.</a> It's washable, I haven't had a washable rug for a zillion years, I didn't even</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">know they made them anymore. I'll let you </span><span style="text-align: left;">know how it goes. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi friends! It was still summer for our last My Five Favorites, that month flew by and here</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we are already in the midst of fall! This month my blogging pals and I are sharing our</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
favorite ideas for kiddos' rooms, mine are all focused on teen rooms. I love helping them</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
create spaces that reflect their personality and they're usually pretty opinionated about it. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm anxious to see what everyone has on their favs' list, be sure to check them out: </div>

I'm excited to share our guest, Julie @ <a href="https://julieblanner.com/kids-bedroom-decorating-ideas/" target="_blank">Julie Blanner</a>, I'm smitten with her refreshing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
style, she has quite the talent for creating perfectly edited spaces. Actually, I have a confession</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to make - I tried to emulate her style for my Christmas decor one year, it truly looked like I</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just moved in and only unpacked one box! SO bad! Simply put, her minimalist style is</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
stunning, as is her beautiful photography. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My son and I had so much fun revamping his room, I can't believe it's been five years! :( </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A menswear glen plaid was the starting point for this sophisticated mix, we used it on an</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
upholstered headboard and box springs. The artwork is a mix of a custom abstract, framed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
prints, poster and a Nike shopping bag. We call the abstract 'tennis match.' </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We created a built-in look with wall to wall bookcases flanking the headboard, and added</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a pair of industrial outdoor lights to the sides of the bookcase. We snaked the wiring through</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the bookcase to the outlet behind it. For a sharp mix we included a handsome lamp with</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
textured shade. Sentimental sports photos memorabilia was the artwork of choice.</div>

We gave a traditional four poster bed and vintage nightstands new life with fresh paint, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and added drama with a canopy net. A few custom pillows pulled our color palette together.</div>

Hi friends, hope you've had a wonderful summer, in my book it's not officially</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
over until the first day of fall. We're still embracing beautiful weather, al fresco</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
dining, and soaking up every last bit of summer activities. It's time for another</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
edition of My Five Favorites, this month we're dishing on Beauty/Fashion.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love finding tried and true, new to me products and can't wait to see what my</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
blogging pals are sharing today! </div>

I've known this month's guest, Cindy @ <a href="https://roughluxeperspective.blogspot.com/2017/09/my-five-favorite-black-leggings.html" target="_blank">Rough Luxe Lifestyle</a>, for several years she<br />
is the BIGGEST sweetheart, and classy and cute as can be. She's one of those people<br />
that's true to her own style, be it fashion or interior design, and has a great eye for pulling<br />
together the prettiest combinations. You'll love checking out her current outfit inspiration,<br />
home and garden, or her latest meal and table setting when she's entertaining (like the one<br />
at her home below) ~ she's always an inspiration! <br />

Here are my favs:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>#1 Makeup</i></b></span><br />
<br />
Depending on the product sometimes I spend more, but generally I'm a drug store makeup<br />
girl. I've used both of these forever - <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Revlon-PhotoReady-Airbrush-Effect-Natural/dp/B00SA729I6/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1504668613&sr=8-1&keywords=revlon%2Bphotoready%2Bfoundation&th=1" target="_blank">Revlon Photoready Airbrush Foundation</a><br />
& <a href="https://www.amazon.com/LOreal-Paris-Voluminous-Blackest-Black/dp/B004BCTFVS?th=1" target="_blank">L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara</a><br />
The foundation gives nice coverage but doesn't feel too heavy, and the mascara makes<br />
my lashes look long and full, doesn't clump ~ pretty simple requirements.<br />
I noticed <a href="http://www.classiccasualhome.com/2017/08/my-essential-beauty-product.html" target="_blank">this cute blogger</a> and <a href="https://styleyoursenses.com/" target="_blank">this one</a>, both recommended the same mascara recently. <br />

</div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>#2 Makeup Remover</i></b></span><br />
<br />
I remember reading about <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Desert-Essence-Jojoba-4-Ounce-Bottle/dp/B001CMT8DA?th=1" target="_blank">Pure Jojoba oil</a> on a blog or Pinterest about a year ago and thought<br />
I'd give it a try. I've ditched all the other makeup removers I had, and it's now my go to.<br />
It easily removes my favorite mascara and feels so hydrating. And, it washes out of my<br />
white washcloths nicely. I buy it at our local natural foods market. <br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>#3 Facial Scrub</i></b></span><br />
<br />
My friend brought this<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Andalou-Naturals-Lemon-Sugar-Facial/dp/B006H9LO4E/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1504667165&sr=8-2&keywords=andalou+lemon+sugar+scrub" target="_blank"> <span style="background-color: white;">Andalou </span>Lemon Sugar Facial Scrub</a> to my Favorite Things Christmas<br />
Party last year. Aren't recommendations from friends the best?! I keep it in the shower, it's<br />
a nice exfoliate that's gentle enough to use a couple times a week, and has a light lemon<br />
scent. I buy mine at our local natural foods market, Sprouts.<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>#4 Body Lotion</i></b></span><br />
<br />
I hate to mention it, but dry winter skin will be here before we know it. :(<br />
My dermatologist recommended <a href="https://www.costco.com/Amlactin-Moisturizing-Body-Lotion%2C-20-Ounces.product.11756709.html" target="_blank">AmLactin Body Lotion</a> years ago, it's not heavy or greasy,<br />
the alpha-hydroxy acid exfoliates and leaves my skin feeling so much better during our<br />
our dry Colorado winters, and it's available at Costco.<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>#5 Hair Conditioner</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few years ago I was out of town visiting a friend and had forgotten my conditioner,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I asked if she had some I could borrow, she introduced me to <a href="http://www.ulta.com/miracle-leave-in-plus-keratin?productId=xlsImpprod6481240&sku=2230053&cmpid=PS_Non!google!Product_Listing_Ads&cagpspn=pla&CATCI=pla-398420653917&CAAGID=47403364473&CAWELAID=330000200000135812&CATARGETID=330000200001234016&cadevice=c&gclid=CjwKCAjwlrnNBRBMEiwApKU4PFl-U4NFMtceEGlKNaeYW_SR2_WrZvj3R0pGY4AY6ZYSnXLlq2vNOBoCyk8QAvD_BwE" target="_blank">it's a 10</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a leave in conditioner that gets amazing reviews all across the board. There are</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
several varieties so check which works for your hair type - I like the extra nourishing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ingredients in this one since I have thick natural curly, color treated hair. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like the convenient spray, and a little goes a long way. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I received these <a href="https://www.containerstore.com/s/bath/makeup-organizers/every-drop-makeup-spatula/12d?productId=10032831" target="_blank">Every Drop Makeup Spatulas</a> last year at my Favorite Things Christmas Party.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They're the best! It's crazy how much product is left in the container, the long handle can</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
reach all size moisturizer and makeup bottles. The smaller spatula is perfect for lipstick and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
gloss. I love to tie them onto girlfriend gifts. These are from The Container Store, but I've </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
seen similar at Target & Bed, Bath & Beyond. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi friends, my goodness summer is flying by, in our neck of the woods kids head back<br />
to school this month, a sure sign summer is waning. I'm so not ready!<br />
It's time for another round of My Five Favorites and this month's topic is Before & Afters.<br />
I'm sharing my favorites that you can do in a weekend. Although I'm the queen of dragging<br />
a project out forever, every once in awhile I get my act together, knock it out in a weekend,<br />
and relish in the instant gratification! #hellooneroomchallenge <br />
My pals are sharing their favs as well, so be sure to pop over and check out their ideas too.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
she's as sweet and genuine they come, and her DIY projects and eye for decor are always<br />
an inspiration. Just look at this<a href="https://www.crazy-wonderful.com/eclectic-guest-bedroom-refresh/" target="_blank"> guest room refresh </a>~ eclectic perfection in my book!<br />
And, I'll definitely be stealing her tip, the basket is for guests' dirty laundry. </div>

<b><i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">#1 Paint your tile</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When I did our <a href="http://simpledetailsblog.blogspot.com/2014/05/one-room-challengekitchen-reveal.html" target="_blank">kitchen makeover</a> I took a deep breath, hoped the vision I had would work, and <a href="http://simpledetailsblog.blogspot.com/2014/04/how-to-paint-stone-tile.html" target="_blank">painted the stone tile</a>. I couldn't be happier with that decision, it took our kitchen from</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Tuscan to fresh and current. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The question I get asked most - "How has it held up?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Perfect! It's been three years and it looks the same as the day I did it. I've always cleaned</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">any </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">grease, splatters or cooking mess with a sponge, and soap and water at the time, I don't</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> let</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> anything build up that would need scrubbing. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A classic four poster bed will always be timeless, and there was no reason to </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">get rid of</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> this beautiful piece of furniture. I love injecting new life in </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">traditional pieces by using</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> high gloss paint like we did for my client's </span><a href="http://simpledetailsblog.blogspot.com/2015/05/one-room-challenge-another-craigslist.html" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">bedroom </a><a href="http://simpledetailsblog.blogspot.com/2015/05/one-room-challenge-another-craigslist.html" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">update</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> To accomplish this in a weekend I'd plan on this timeline:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Friday night - Light Sand & Prime</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Saturday - First Coat Paint</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sunday - Second Coat Paint </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Hobby Lobby, $4 each (when they're 50% off - or use a 40 % off coupon if you don't</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> want to wait). They're the perfect size for a little plant or herbs. The items you could</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> derby hats, in fact four years ago I wrote </span><a href="http://simpledetailsblog.blogspot.com/2013/05/baseball-hatsnot-just-for-bad-hair-days.html" style="font-family: inherit;">this post</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> about how I wear baseball hats! :) </span></div>

Welcome friends, and thank you for stopping in to check out our home!</div>

I'm thrilled to be part of the 2017 Summer Home Tour hosted by Marty @ </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.astrollthrulife.net/">A Stroll Thru Life</a>, a big thank you to her for organizing 30 bloggers to share their homes</div>

this week. If you're stopping by from Christy's @ <a href="http://www.oursouthernhomesc.com/blog/">Our Southern Home</a>, I'm sure you</div>

If you're new here I live in Denver and share our 1938 cottage style home with</div>

The bold tribal pillow with a black leather pattern is perfectly unexpected. I found</div>

I have an addiction to fun chairs and have quite the collection, but always fall back</div>

to bringing these unique cane chairs back in for summer. I love the contrast against the</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">Surprise! I'd mentioned a few times that the green paint in our dining room was fun for</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"> awhile, </span>but I was ready for a change. At certain times of day it looked neon with the bright<br />
southern exposure and I'd walk by and cringe! I chose the same Benjamin Moore Queen Anne,<br />
as I have in the living room and it feels SO much better! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found the chippendale style chairs on Craigslist awhile back and still haven't</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
decided whether or not to paint them, which is keeping me from reupholstering the seats.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the wood, but wonder if it would be prettier if there were more contrast with</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the table. What do you guys think? </div>

I think we should have a challenge - can anyone do a home tour without adding a new<br />
pillow?!! Haha! A super simple pillow change up and that's it for our family room.<br />
One day when I was cruising through Hobby Lobby I noticed the zebra print fabric on the<br />
clearance rack for a crazy price and made the pillows. The blush pillows are from Home Goods<br />
and are the perfect pieces to bring the color into our family room. </div>
