My home décor philosophy? Real life and a beautiful home can co-exist. Sometimes it takes a little bit of time, or a little bit of money, or a little bit of elbow grease, but I believe that everybody can have a comfortable, lovely home that includes all the messiness of real life – kids, animals, whatever. For me, real life is two wild and delicious boys under 5 (dirt), an incredible husband who is an avid mountain biker (more dirt), a 70-year old home in need of updating (crooked floors and pink tile), working outside the home four days a week (almost no time) and a tight monthly budget (you get the drift).
Through this blog I plan to share great products (Shop It), Do-It-Yourself ideas (Make It), ways to use what you already own (Reinvent It) and other inspirations that I have experienced myself or that I pick up through my near-addiction to home design magazines (don’t even get my husband started on the piles).
Oh, and before you read any further, I want to give a special shout-out to my longtime friend and aptly-titled Chief Creative Consultant, Christine Koh, who not only seems to have the answer to every question I have about blogging, but designed my rockin’ logo (isn’t it great?). Visit her at www.BostonMamas.com and www.PoshPeacock.com to get some for yourself.
Hope you enjoy…
The Mudroom 
How could I not want to be the CCC to someone so supremely awesome and talented? I’m thrilled to help and it’s amazing to see it all coming together. xoxo
What a fabulous launch! I’ll be viewing faithfully.

i am truly impressed and mentally going through my house right now, composing how-to/design questions for future blogging consideration.
Send them along!
Paige, this is great!! I am also a total design magazine addict and the piles are constantly growing…and my husband hates it too. I think you should do a section on acyclic furniture, cheap and great for tight both country and city.
Glad you like it! Love acrylic furniture…airy for small spaces…
I meant acrylic, I have been up since 4:30am.
Congratulations on the launch of the mudroom! Adding you to my RSS reader today!
Paige!
Excellent posts… my home will be transformed! I have the bedside book mountain problem too… Love your ideas.

You are the best! So inspired that you put this together – have already saved it as a favorite. I clearly need to share you my list of “would love to do” home and arts and crafts projects and get your energy and ideas 🙂 xo
