I have wanted wire baskets forever! Ever since seeing them in a lovely Pottery Barn catalog. But $20-$30 for a single large basket? Uhhh, yeah right, even if my husband said “honey I want to buy you something special” I’d have to say no… are you kidding, do you know how many beautiful things I could […]
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 […]
Closet Organization
I live in the snow belt of Northeast Ohio, so I need my coat closet like you wouldn’t believe. A practical closet that keeps everything we need in immediate reach, neatly organized so we don’t need to search is what I had in mind when I first set out to makeover my closet. Well, I’m […]
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, […]
Pretty Magnets & Push Pins
What is the point of creating a beautiful pin & magnetic board if the pins and magnets are ugly? A few days ago I showed you how to make a half-pin half-magnetic board (read about it here), and today I’m sharing how I made cute push pins and magnets to compliment the new board. Making […]
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? I love the look of a finely decorated wall space, but I’m also a die hard practical. Finally I settled on something I knew my ever artistic […]
DIY Board Game Storage Unit
Some of you know I’m crazy about European board games. It is the one hobby my husband and I have in common, and we just got back from the Origins Game Fair! WAHOO!! And now you know why I have been AWOL the last week and a half, between family visiting (and gaming), and the game fair […]
For The Love of Plano Boxes
Ahhh, there is nothing better than seeing small things organized in clear containers with dividers. It is positively yummy, so when one of my fav organizers Alejandra Costello shared how she organizes her nails and batteries, I thought “oh duhh, why haven’t I already done that?”. Sometimes, it’s the obvious that eludes me *airhead moment?*. […]
