As a serial DIYer, I'm always repainting the walls in our house, and painting just about everything else in sight with spray paint. That leaves us with a lot of leftover paint and, in time, a lot of empty paint cans. We have a very small utility room and a detached, unheated garage, so I had a lot of questions about how and where I could safely store my leftover paint, and how to properly dispose of paint and paint cans. I did a lot of research regarding both paint storage and disposal options, ... View the Post

{organizing with style} My Makeup Drawer
Is your makeup a mess? It doesn't have to be! Today I'm sharing a few simple tips for keeping makeup organized in a drawer. STEP 1 - SORT & PURGE The first step to organizing any drawer is to empty it out completely. Once everything is out on the counter, begin sorting your makeup. The categories I selected were eyes, lips and face. Once I had my makeup sorted, I began to purge anything that was too old or that I just don't use anymore. I am never sure how long to keep ...

Organizing Cords & Cables
I've been working on several big organizing projects recently, one of which is organizing all a hall closet that houses, among other things, all of our small electronics - everything from cameras and video cameras, to iPods, iPads and portable speaker. And every one of these items comes with at least one, if not two or more, cords and cables. The closet organizing project is still a work in progress, but I did just complete one key component - taming all of those cords and cables! I'm sure ... View the Post
4 Tips for Organizing Bathroom Drawers
I organized our master bathroom drawers shortly after we moved into our house six years ago, and I must have done something right, because the drawers are just as organized today as they were on day one. That almost never happens!! Usually I have to reevaluate every so often and tweak the system to better suit our changing needs. But somehow I managed to get our bathroom drawers right on the first try! Obviously, what's right for us won’t necessarily be right for you, but I can share a few ... View the Post
{organizing with style} Washi Tape Shelves
Last week I showed your our organized "baby elevator closet" (if you want to know why we call it that, you'll have to check out that post), and you may have noticed the colorful stripes on the front of each of the shelves. Washi tape! It's hard to believe that just a few months ago I had never used washi tape for anything, and now it makes its way in to nearly every project I do. I love my label maker, and it's always been my go to when I've needed to label ... View the Post
How to Create Durable and Pretty Basket Labels
Did you guys have a chance to check out our newly organized coat closet? I'm still grinning from ear to ear about how it turned out, and as usual, I added a few different types of DIY labels to help keep it organized. Labeling is so important because it allows every person in the family to know where to find things, and makes it much easier to put things back in the right place. But labels are no good if they can't hold up to some wear and tear, and simple paper labels are not up to that ... View the Post
DIY Play Tent With Roof Made From Upcycled Neckties
Boy Mom Madness continues, and today we are talking D.I.Y. for the B.O.Y. This is a topic I just love, and it's the perfect opportunity for me to share a tutorial that is almost a year overdue! When I designed my son Beckett's "big boy" room, I spent many weeks blogging about the DIY projects in the room {no less than 15 DIYs!}, until I feared that you must be getting sick of hearing about that room {because I was getting sick of writing about it}. I promised to return with the details of ... View the Post

Color Coded Nail Polish Drawer
With spring official here, I am itching for warmer weather - mostly because I love wearing sandals and flip flops! Although I don't paint my fingernails all that often (something I'd like to change) - I ALWAYS have my toenails painted and I can't wait to start sporting some spring colors! So to get ready for the warmer weather that will hopefully be headed our way soon {but not soon enough since the forecast calls for snow tomorrow}, I decided to organize all of my nail polish. I have a ... View the Post

Small Utility Room Shelving Solution & the Best Way to Organize Paint Supplies
Having a fully finished basement adds a lot of livable square footage to our house, but it also means that there's almost no storage space. But you know I love a good challenge, so we worked our magic and managed to squeeze in some much needed utility room shelving and organized every available inch of space. HOW TO ADD SHELVING TO A SMALL UTILITY ROOM Utility rooms generally aren't the most storage friendly spaces, and the pipes running floor to ceiling in the middle of ours made it ... View the Post
