Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

You will probably notice that I am all about repurposing spaces so that they work best for you and your family. There are so many spaces in our home that will have different uses than what was intended when this home was originally built. That is one of my favorite aspects of inhabiting a space…

I am so excited to be participating in the One Room Challenge as a guest blogger this fall! I have wanted to do this for over a year now and I am so happy that I finally made the decision to just go for it! Over the course of the next six weeks I will…

We are at the halfway point of the One Room Challenge and surprisingly all of the major pieces are basically done and in place. My major highlight of the week was when my little settee arrived! She is so cute and I really feel like she adds the right pop of color to the space.…

I am seriously so excited about how my mom cave/studio space is coming together! I actually need to finalize an official name for the space, but I will figure that out later. This week is all about the walls and the floors! Now this is a relatively small space. I believe the dimensions are around…

From the moment we purchased this washer and dryer set, I knew I wanted a pedestal. We looked around for the pedestals built by the manufacturers but I just could not get with the cost. We decided we wanted to build our own and three years later we finally got around to doing it thanks…

I purchased this paper from Wayfair and I absolutely love the way it changed my laundry/mudroom! The floral wallpaper…

It’s REVEAL DAY! Y’all six weeks is a long time! I am so happy to be done with this space and to be able to finally share it with you all! As I mentioned in my first post, I am the only woman in my house. I am married to an amazing man and we…

I think I have fallen in love with challenges. It seems as though the only time I can complete an entire room (well…almost an entire room) is when I am doing it as a part of a challenge. The #555RoomChallenge is particularly attractive to me because it is helping me accomplish multiple goals early in…

My obsession with gardening is definitely growing. What I have realized is that I love all forms of gardening from raised beds, to hydroponics, to in ground gardening, to greenhouse gardening, to container gardening and more! I am having such a great time learning more about how things grow and even more about how to…

There are a few things I have always wanted in our home, one is a piano. I am still waiting for that to happen! The second thing I have always wanted is a reading room. The idea of a designated space to house books with a cute little reading nook has always been so appealing…
