I love to organize. That’s nothing new and nothing you didn’t already know. What I don’t like is spending money on pricey bins, baskets and containers. If I’m going to spend money on them I try to only buy them if they’re going to be seen or they have some functionality that is convenient to [...]

After we put all the hard work into our curbside find I finally was able to get it into place. We let it sit over night, probably for about 30 hours total, before putting it all together. First I had to replace the knobs that were on it. I had a few of these striped [...]

Back in March, when my cousin came home from overseas, we headed out to the store to pick up some poster board so I could make big colorful signs to welcome him home. It was almost 9 pm and pitch black when my dear husband eye spied and amazing piece of furniture on the curb, [...]
a simple kitchen fix & a trip down memory lane

This small thing has been annoying me since we moved in over a year ago. The oven door on our stove is very short. So whenever a dish towel is hanging it touches the drawer underneath the oven. You know, the one for pots and pans or cookie sheets or pizza stones. The one that [...]

We love grilling and now that it’s March it means grill season for us is in full swing. When you have minimal space in your home and in your kitchen it’s tough to store those massive sized grill tools. We also picked up a great kabob rack over the winter for a super clearance price [...]

This is quite possibly the simplest, yet one of the most effective ways, to organize things. Step 1: Get an over the door hanging shoe organizer. Step 2: Fill it with things!!! Though, I’ll tell you. I searched high and low, literally because at Bed Bath and Beyond the shoe organizers were practically at the [...]

As I continue to work (very slowly) on getting my office space together I thought I’d share a few accessories I recently added. My office space is definitely the project on the back burner. It’s not getting much attention because there are other, more important things to do first! I’d been on the hunt for [...]

I could probably drag out the posts about my hoosier to at least 4, because I have so much to say about it. But, I’ll save you all the annoyance of 4 posts on one piece of furniture. We decided to paint it a soft gray, though the finished photos make it look more of [...]
