Have you noticed the new movement sweeping the nation? Simplified living… we are slowly learning that happiness isn’t found in having many possessions, or in the large spaces required to store those numerous possessions. Incredibly, less can be more. This is a lesson I’ve been learning the last few years! When we moved to Ohio we […]

Pintastic Pinboards & Painted Pins
By now you realize that I’m a bit pin board crazy. You have to understand, in a home full of little artists you need plenty of spaces to display artwork, inspiration, and other items. So when I found this ugly picture of a cherub in a beautiful frame at Goodwill for a buck, I had […]
Library Book Basket
My girls are big readers, and big mess makers, and big on losing things.Not a good combination for taking advantage of a “free” library…I believe I’m paying my way in fees. So when I take a moment to write about buying a library book basket, you’ll have a better idea of why…. when you have […]
CD Storage
I seem to have a sudden multiplication of CD’s lying around the house lately. Ugh, it’s like we’ve never heard of an iPod (!!). Between recorded talks, and family members feeding my kids brand new music collection obsession, CD’s are popping up with an alarming Tribble-like rate (sorry, my inner Trekkie emerging). I can no longer […]
A Puzzling Dilemma – The Ultimate Puzzle Storage
Puzzles are a favorite Saturday afternoon activity for my family. I love seeing my three girls, heads bent, chins cradled by little hands, curls bobbing about as they determinedly search through puzzle pieces. At those times I’m glad I took the extra time to create a special puzzle storage area. Of course, it was as […]
DIY Wire Baskets
I have wanted wire baskets forever! Ever since seeing them in a lovely Pottery Barn catalog. But $20-$30 for a single large basket?

DIY Hairclip Holding Art
I’m working on the art grouping in my kids Jack & Jill bathroom, when I realize that I’ve misplaced the glass to one of my frames. Aw bum. I am tearing the place up looking for this tall thin piece of glass, but to no avail! I am terrified one of the kids will “find […]
Recessed Bathroom Storage
I hate wasted space, so the idea of using the wall space behind the shower as recessed storage I find brilliant! The application of my particular space, not so brilliant. I’m afraid this space needed a little de-uglify-ing, and a quite bit of organization. What do you think? While I was initially happy to have […]
The Golden Touch…Storage Bowls
I’ve always been a brushed chrome girl…until now! Deciding not to replace the pretty gold fixtures in our upstairs bathroom was the best decision I ever made for that space! Now I’m falling head over heels in love with gold, an affair I may not soon get over.  A month ago I purchased Krylon […]

DIY Key Organizer
Today I’m making key holders for my coat closet. I can hear my kids saying “don’t they sell those things at stores Mom? You’re just making it because you like making stuff”. Yeaaaaahhh. Have you ever gotten an idea in your head you just couldn’t let go? Even in the face of a good deal, […]
DIY Pin & Magnetic Board
Something needed to go above my daughters dresser, it looked a bit sparse sitting in the corner all by its lonesome. Mirror? Or perhaps a few framed photos?
