Hey, guys! Happy Sunday! I wanted to share kind of a random scrapbook project I made this week, just for fun! As many of you have noticed, I haven't scrapbooked for a bit. Honestly, it's been almost a year since my stuff has been in boxes (yes, a lot of my crafty stuff is STILL in boxes), and I...

I changed up my working situation late last year, and so far, 2016 has been a time of adjusting to working alone and also working towards getting my space put together. My business exists mostly online, but it does require space to craft or cook at times, and so I've worked in lots of different...

Spring has sprung! Or at least we had a couple of days of sunshine and warmer weather here, and I'm pretty much over-the-moon about it! It has been a long, grey winter, and I'm so ready for longer days and colorful buds to start popping up from the earth. If I had a green thumb, I'd be outside ...

I just realized that I haven't really updated you on how we're settling in to our new life here in Nashville. We moved about six months ago now, and I have so much to share with you! The first few months were definitely a blur. We were in the midst of a major renovation, which stretched us thi...

After living in our home for over four years, I can finally say, as of last weekend, our bedroom is completely finished! And what a soothing relief that is in my life. Bedrooms often seem to be cast aside in favor of rooms that are seen by guests and enjoyed by the entire family. In our case, w...

Sooo, remember when I showed you how to make the easiest ever lucite towel rack for your bathroom (for only $30!)? Well, I just wanted to let you know that you can also make a mini version to match as a hand towel rack as well! I've actually seen a couple readers that have made their own for th...

Jeremy and I recently moved into our master bedroom after four months of living in the guest room due to renovations (!!!!). It's SO WEIRD living in our real bedroom. But you guys aren't here to hear about my #feelings. So let's move on.... So far, I've mainly focused on the closet space. It's...

Hey, guys! Long time no... blog? I'm Sarah from Arrow & Apple, and it's great to be back around on ABM. I'm pumped to share with you guys a little bit about the curves tool in the A Color Story app! I love the curves tool (you'd be hard-pressed to find a photographer who doesn't) because it giv...

Today I'm very excited to share our first room tour in our new home! We purchased our house ten months ago and moved in five months ago. It's been a lot of work, and we've spent a lot of time living in a "construction zone", but it's finally starting to REALLY come together! We've got a full y...

I am forever hunting for simple, unique solutions for hanging large photos. These gold corner frames are my favorite so far. Otherwise I've been a little noncommittal about hanging photos up until this point. But these walls aren't going to decorate themselves... It's time to get busy! Today I...

There's something so vibey about listening to a favorite record on vinyl. I've been working on my vinyl collection for quite a few years now, and I recently started thinking about upgrading my turntable. I've been researching different options, both for quality and for BEAUTY. Today I've round...

Today let’s talk about hat hair! The good kind that is! Or rather hairstyles for hats—isn’t it funny how different hat hair and hair for hats sounds? One of the great appeals of a hat is that you can just throw it on when you’re having a bad hair day. But if you’re a fan of hats and fun hairst...

Playfully, I call myself a plant hoarder, and if I took count of the many I have (20...ish) and the many urges I try to fight to purchase one, I guess you would say that too. I not only adore plants because they clean the air in our old apartment, but because they can easily transform a space! ...

It's fun to get photos with Elsie since it's not our "usual" thing anymore (since she moved). We had a blast in Chile last week hanging out, chatting about the future, drinking by the beach, and generally just vacationing it up! Such a treat. Being together also meant we had to recruit Trey to...

Carrots don't get enough credit. It's one ingredient that finds its way into many of the (random) homemade soups I throw together. I love baby carrots just by themselves or paired with hummus for a super delicious and still healthy snack. But probably my favorite carrot recipe has got to be c...

One thing we miss so much from our last house was the floor to ceiling bookshelves we had built into our living room. We own lots of books, so having storage for them is important. But also, as a child who grew up loving Beauty and the Beast, big bookshelves will always have my heart. There...

I am such a sucker for pastel and rainbow hair. Maybe it's because I still dream of being a mermaid. I usually stick to a more natural red shade, but every once in a while I can't resist going blue. Or rather I finally have gone blue; the first time I went "blue" a few years ago, it turned out ...

As many of you already know, chocolate no-bake cookies are some of my very favorites. My mom made these all the time when I was growing up. I love playing around with old, favorite recipes to change them up and (hopefully) create new variations. And if I'm lucky, new favorites. That was the ins...

Let's talk about this concept of age appropriate clothing. I don't know how to feel. On one hand, I get it. I do feel it's important to embrace and love every decade. And I feel like my 30-something self is just SO different from my 20-something self. I love that sense of growth and forward m...

If you have pets of any kind, you already know the struggle between pet items that are necessary to have around but are not necessarily your favorite thing to look at everyday. I realized that we had a "scratcher" cat pretty quickly once we got our second cat Mac. At some point I noticed that m...

Hey, everyone! I'm Arielle, a photographer with a focus on lifestyle and abstract nature. I was so thrilled to be a part of the A Color Story test group. As soon as I opened up the tool box, I noticed so much more than your standard set of altering mechanisms. Today I'll be touching on how to u...

I am so BEYOND excited about this project. It's, like, totally one of those moods where you finally know how Maria feels when she sings, "The Hills Are Alive" in The Sound of Music. Yeah. It's that level for me. I have been obsessed with the comeback that lucite (the clear acrylic) has been mak...
