Where Unique, Chic and Organized Meet
We have been blessed to know 3 couples this year who had their 1st child this year. I wanted to make something special for them for each baby to commemorate their 1st Hanukkah, so I made an alpha bet wood block Menorah. It was a relatively easy and inexpensive item to make, but most importantly it would be something to remember the baby's 1st Hanukkah. Supplies: 10" Floating Shelf wood … [Read more...]

The new school year started and I went to our homework wall to make sure it was ready, and the cork tiles next to The Homework Caddy (review), were falling off. I had to yank them down, and re-think. About 2 years ago I had bought 2 magnetic cork boards for each of the kids' rooms. I covered 1 for A's room, but never did the one for the boys' room. I decided to pull it out, and use that on our … [Read more...]
It's hard to admit when I have too many pieces of jewelry, but I do have a lot of necklaces, and the holder is getting really full. I had to come up with something super quick to remedy the over stuffed jewelry holder. I got a satin covered baby hangar, some ribbon and a hot glue gun I already had in the house.30 minutes later I had a necklace holder. Back in November I made a DIY Necklace Holder … [Read more...]
J's teacher was looking for an art line to be put up across the classroom so she could clip the kids artwork on it. When she asked for a volunteer to help with putting one up I immediately told her I'd take care of it, and called my mentor/father. At the time she asked she had no clue how to facilitate an art line, so we came up with a plan. I described to him my thoughts, and as usual he made it … [Read more...]

Several weeks ago I shared with you my horrible disarray that is the top of my dresser. I found a way to organize my jewelry by making a necklace holder. The next step in this project was my out of control make-up. I decided to make something that is neat and easily cleaned. Most importantly is that I need my make-up to be hidden. I bought a bolt and nail holder at The Home … [Read more...]
I admit it: the boys had super cheap dressers. Needless to say they fell apart about a year ago, but we never got around to getting new stuff. A couple months ago I decided I wanted really good wood as apposed to plywood, and that was going to be over our budget. I didn't care what shape it would be in, so I thought I'd go to second hand stores and garage sales. I also told my parents, who … [Read more...]
