Clean, Smart, Simple and Stylish

 

Welcome to Clean, Smart, Simple Style. Thanks so much for stopping by! When I visit a new blog, I love to click through a few pages to get a feel for what their site is about- so hopefully this one click will fill you in on what I'm all about and what you can find here.

When I started this blog in 2010, I didn't really have a concrete goal or a vision for this site- I was simply in search of a creative outlet and a way to continue to challenge myself with my writing and my photography.  The concept fell into place naturally as I started to think about some of my secret passions: organizing and interior design. I finally decided to quiet the voices of doubt and do what I love. (Click here to read how this blog came about).

I most certainly do not live in a house that's ready to be featured in a magazine article, but I love to love my home. For me, loving my home means continually trying to make it just a tiny bit more functional while adding in a bit of style whenever I can. It's the theme that is at the heart of this blog through and through.

I never thought I would fall comfortably into the title of Homemaker- but after spending several years devoting myself largely to the care of my family, I've come to realize that my home is exactly what I make it. Some days it's a cluttered mess because life calls me to be elsewhere, and that's ok. Some days I have an "Aha!" moment and find myself deep in a re-organizing project that makes a world of difference in the way that my home functions. I enjoy making my home what it is, and I love to share with you the successes and failures along the way.

As you read through this space you will learn that I'm obsessed with cleaning closets, I love a smart organizing solution or a simple home project, and I'm on the constant hunt for stylish home decor. If nothing else, I hope that your visits here will leave you feeling inspired and ready to make your home into someplace that you love to love!
