I like simple. I don’t like clutter. Here is my list of things I think you should have in every room of your home along with a few room decoration rules that I try to follow.
Rules:
- Make it cute, but functional
- Have a focal point
- Hide the icky, the extra and the sticky (meaning messy)
- Carry through color
- Make it you, let your personality show
- Always have extra… but don’t let it perplex ya (I know, I’m a dork)
- Large trashcan on each floor
- One “donate” container on each floor
- One portable cleaning bucket/station
In every room you should have:
- Plants or fresh flowers (or you can settle for fake flowers)
- Special memory
- Book
- Clock
- Candle
Entry way / mud room
- Keep most worn shoes and coats in a warm room no matter what
Living Room (where your main TV is located)
- Adjustable lighting options (twinkly romantic lights, blinds to open, floor lamp and ceiling light)
Bedrooms
- Sheet sets that match (then get rid of all the other random sheets)
- Nice matching hangers
- Blanket boxes/bins
Bathrooms
- White towels
- White shower curtain
Storage
- Family yearbook
- Matching waterproof containers with easy to read labels

Hi, I’m so excited your here!
My name is Amanda. Welcome to my blog Dishes and Denim!
Writing is my outlet. It grounds me. So, I decided to start a blog where I can share my life with you!
I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. My son Bradley was born April 1st, 2018. He is my entire world.
Simple is my specialty. I don’t have a lot of extra time and the time I do have I want to spend with my family.
I love cooking, cleaning, photography, writing, sewing and running.
Maintaining an organized and clutter-free home is a priority.
I have a mild obsession with buying photography props, notebooks, coffee mugs, and pens.
If there was an award for overanalyzing – I would win every year.
I’m a hopeless romantic.
My favorite color is turquoise.
My perfect day includes waking up to a clean house and having a Starbucks Skinny Vanilla Latte and fresh fruit waiting for me…followed by a long hot shower then bumming around town in comfy jeans and a perfectly fitting white tee and my denim jacket (taking pictures and visiting antique shops). For dinner, I would request a cheeseburger (red onions, pickle, and ketchup) with a side salad (Balsamic, no tomatoes) Then end the day relaxing on my patio with twinkle lights, a glass of Entwine Cabernet and my family (bonus points for a campfire and S’mores).
If you want to know more about me you can either invite me out for a glass of red wine or check out some of my blog posts!
