content_media_kit_headshotHey friend! I’m so glad you found me! The blogosphere is a huge place, but you found your way to our little oasis, and I’m so happy!

I’m Chelsea, the accidental decorator behind this blog, where I write about decorating, DIY projects, and other creative ideas. For years, I struggled with finding my signature decorating style, giving up plenty of times along the way. When I started shifting my focus away from the house itself and onto my family, everything changed. Now, I love encouraging others to decorate for their people not for the house.

I’m truly passionate about loving where you live. I believe in creating a space that reflects the people who live in it. I subscribe to the Don’t Wait, Decorate philosophy and believe you should start where you are, with what you have and make your home as beautiful as you are.

I don’t do design rules, call me a rebel, but I decorate our home for us. Some people think I’m crazy for having a white sofa with two kids but it works for us. I also enjoy saving a bunch of money by DIYing a lot of projects and making my own decor.

I reallyyyyy believe in decorating for right now, where you are, with what you have.

While I wish I could say that my house looks like that all the time, but the reality is I have two kids and most days my house looks more like this [real home tour].

You’ll find hundreds of blog posts related to home decor, decorating, and DIY ideas here. I hope you’ll be inspired whether you are tackling a major kitchen renovation, or trying to figure out how to hide some sort of rental house eyesore. I know about both! Where to go from here?

It’s been a whole year since my dining my room l It’s been a whole year since my dining my room looked like this. It’s been a long year, hasn’t it? This space is regularly filled with books and school supplies and two giggling girls. I don’t know if we ever go back to normal from here but there’s a lot from this time that I want to take with me in to the future. How about you?

My kids fight all day long but when the time comes My kids fight all day long but when the time comes for them to go to sleep they snuggle up in the same bed and it gives me allll the mama feels. It’s getting pretty tight on the top bunk with them squeezed into a twin but they never complain.

The dots on the wall are little decals for a faux wallpaper look. We love them. I linked them and everything else from the girls room on @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/3cpo9 #liketkit #LTKkids #howihome #bhgstylemaker #kidsspaces #militaryhousing #milspouse #howirent #rentaldecorating @liketoknow.it.home @liketoknow.it.family

My ideas do not always work out but this one did! My ideas do not always work out but this one did! I’m really proud of the way the canvas turned out. It was really fun to be creative in this way. I think this completely transformed our living room in such a great way. This is military base housing guys. Base housing. I almost don’t believe it myself... swipe to see the giant canvas we made before I painted it and our living room before! Also I added everything to @liketoknow.it if you are looking for sources! http://liketk.it/3b1lr @liketoknow.it.home #LTKhome #kismetcheckoutmyhouse #diylookforless #howirent #abmathome #howihome #basehousing #milspouse
Rudy turned 5 last month and I was reminded of how Rudy turned 5 last month and I was reminded of how crazy I was to get a puppy while v pregnant with Millie. Also, he wanted a permanent spot in the feed. Happy Saturday.
