Over the course of the last week or so I have shared how we transferred all of latex paint into plastic, screw-top canisters with labels, how I created a customized paint deck, our paint reference charts, and my kit to make organizing new paint quick and easy in the future. The final step in Project Paint Organization was sorting and storing all of our other painting supplies. Last month, we found a way to add shelves into our tiny utility room, creating new space for storing our paint ... 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
{diy with style} Campaign Style Desk Makeover with a Dry Erase Top
Thank you to Rust-Oleum for sponsoring this post. As always all opinions are my own. You can read my full disclosure statement here. A few months ago a neighbor posted on our neighborhood website that he was putting an oak desk in the alley - free to the first taker. I knew it would be a perfect piece to make over for my upcoming Drab to Fab feature at the Denver Home Show, so I asked my husband to run by on his lunch hour and load it in the car. I need to track that neighbor ... View the Post
How to Paint Laminate Furniture the Right Way
Back when I was in law school, I bought several pieces of inexpensive, white laminate furniture with the plan to repaint them for my first solo apartment. The only problem was that I didn't know how to paint laminate furniture, so my simple little DIY plans quickly turned into a big mess with the paint literally peeling off in sheets. Now here I am, all these years later, looking to upgrade the style in my living room, and what do I decide to do? Buy some inexpensive, white furniture and add ... View the Post
How to Paint a Chalkboard Globe
I have a bad case of wanderlust and, anytime a map is near, you'll hear me muttering "I want to go to there!" in my best Liz Lemon voice. I love to travel, and this carries over to a love of maps and globes {you can read more about my map obsession here}. I hope to instill in my boys a similar curiosity about the world and desire to explore, and that's why I will be incorporating several globes into Beckett's new room. I purchased a lighted globe that will double as a nightlight, and I am ... View the Post
{organizing with style} Roundup of Spray Paint Storage Solutions
Let's talk spray paint storage, shall we? Last fall I finally got all of our latex paint organized and created storage space for this paint, and our paint supplies, in our small basement utility room. I transferred our paint our of the rusting paint cans into screw-top plastic canisters, labeled the paint, and created a paint reference chart as well as a craft stick paint-deck. This organizational system has been working great for the past year, but because of the proximity of our ... View the Post

When and Why to Prime Before Painting
This post is sponsored by Rust-Oleum, whose products make almost all of my DIY projects look better! Do you ever ask yourself, do I need to prime before paining this or is primer really necessary? I know I do! Back in law school I spent many hours painting a laminate bookshelf for my apartment, only to have the paint peel right off because I didn't prime it first. I'm a much savvier DIYer now than I was back then, but I still find myself questioning when I need to use ... View the Post
Pretty Pantry Labels Three Ways + FREE PRINTABLE LABELS
Last week I shared my five steps for creating an organized and pretty pantry, and I gave you a tour of our pantry space. Over a year after first completing our pantry makeover, the space is functioning just as well today as it did on day one - and I believe we have the labels to thank for that! Without labels, our pantry would just be a sea of matching white bins. I would have a pretty good idea of what goes where, since I organized it to start with, but imagine my poor kids and husband! They ... View the Post

{seasonal style} Mason Jar Jack OLanterns
Ok, folks, I'm finally jumping on board the mason jar band wagon! Over the last year or two, I've seen a lot of mason jar Jack O Lanterns on Pinterest, but they've all had black faces and the light has shown through translucent paint or paper covering the remainder of the jar. I love all of these, but wanted to do something a bit different - so I opted for an opaque paint on the jar with the light shining through the unpainted eyes, nose, and mouth. I decided to take a ...

Organizing Kids Toys with Labels that Are Easy to Update
Raise your hand if you love to label ALL. THE. THINGS? Me too! Labeling is one of the most important steps in the process of creating an organized space, because it makes it easy for everyone in the family to find what they need, and makes it much easier to put everything away where it belongs. But not all labels are created equal. A label is only good if it's accurate, so it's important to make labels easy to update for those spots in the house where the contents are likely to change ...
