Earlier this week I talked about all those funny quirks that each house has, and the ways that you find to fix them or live with them. Today I'm sharing the story of how we "fixed" one the quirky parts of our home - that big empty space in the corner of our kitchen.

But even though we didn't end up choosing the Planes, Trains & Automobiles themed room concept, I do plan to incorporate a lot of details of that design plan into his Vintage Preppy room. ...

Get ready, this is a photo heavy post because I just can't get enough of this space. But before we get to all of the pretty pictures, let me remind you where this all began.

15 Ways to Maximize Storage With Over the Door Organizers
I've heard a lot of people advise that you don't need more storage, you just need less stuff... and while we could all benefit from a good purging session, let's be honest, sometimes you really do need more storage! Not everyone has the luxury of a spacious pantry, coat closet, or laundry room, but that doesn't mean we don't need food, hats and scarves, and clean clothes. My biggest piece of advice for organizing when you're short on space is to take advantage of every available nook and ... View the Post
