Hunting Season

I may or may not have spent 5 hours this weekend at garage sales/ yard sales/ flea markets.  It was well worth it though as I was able to bring home all this loot for $20.

Horseshoe Love

Another great example of horseshoe decor.  Of course, this isn't the first time I have gushed over these cute little accessories, see here and here.  This one was spotted on the blog The Order Obsessed.

More Storage

This isn't the first time I have professed my love for innovative storage solutions on this blog...remember this?  And today my love continues, as I share some drool-worthy ways to utilize the wasted space under your stairs.

H is for: Hooks

Being organized is a lofty goal, especially when you still want things to look pretty!

Hooks are an excellent way to create a landing spot for your stuff, and with these ideas pretty is an understatement.

Upcycle: Storage

Before you sell or donate an old piece of furniture, think if it could have a new life.  Anything with drawers such as dressers, cabinets or desks can be repurposed into DIY storage.  This particular project started out as a media center.  When the leg broke, it was clear that it could no longer hold the TV.   Before I set it by the curb to be recycled, I pulled out the two drawers.  I started by removing the drawer slides.  Typically this means unscrewing a few screws.  If you plan to paint the drawer, remove the pulls or knobs as well.  I used brown spray paint for a darker finish.  It covered easily in a few coats.  But depending on your drawer's material, you may need to use a primer first. Remember to always spray paint in a well-ventilated area.
